1974 Chevrolet Corvette looking for a good home.  4 speed transmission with body matching t-tops.  I purchased the car off Ebay about 6 years ago from a gentleman in Illinois and had it shipped to me.  The vehicle was painted while the previous owner had it.  The shine is still there, but there are a few bubbles in the hood area.  You can also see where a good finish sanding was not completed prior the final respray due to some light scratches visible.  The car looks great from 10 feet away.  I am just being honest and trying to represent the car the best I can.  Radiator just flushed & fluid changed.  New Wipers installed.  The car has only been driven in rain once since I have owned it (go figure, moving day). 




I have replaced the following items over the last few years:  
Intake Manifolds (removed headers),
Air filter & assembly, 
complete tune-up, 
rear brakes, 
oil pump, 
seals, 
lower radiator hose, 
upper radiator hose, 
thermostat (170 degree installed), 
heater pump hoses, 
alternator rebuilt, 
alternator bracket replaced, 
power steering line, 
wheels (back to original), 
carpet (floor sprayed with rubberized undercoating & then lined with dynamat prior to new carpet), 
seat cushions, 
seats re-upholstered,
seatbelts, 
numerous interior trim pieces, 
floor mats,
center console,
shift boot,
ash tray,
interior temperature control cluster,
rear compartment assembly,
radio (vintage in appearance, but digital with ipod adapter hidden in ashtray area)

  
What I would replace if I was keeping the car:  
interior door panels, 
paint, 
clock, 
rear bumper (currently a one piece which in 1974 they came from the factory a two piece with split down the middle), 
tripometer (does not work, but the odometer does) 
install the luggage rack on the back.  

There is a chip on the drivers door at the edge where my son  (he is still alive, so relax) opened the door into another vehicle.  The chip has been touched up with paint.  The Original air conditioner has never been checked since I've owned the car due to not driving it hardly at all.  The belt was frayed, but present when I received the car.

I have tried to take it back as close to factory original as I can.  It is a numbers matching car from everything I've checked out.  The carb is a Holley, not the quadrajet.  I found a napkin inside with the original dealerships name on it. When I replaced the carpet, I sprayed undercoating on the interior floor and then lined it with dynamat (for heat reduction and noise cancellation) prior to laying down the carpet.

Here is the research I've done on the car through the NCRS manual:

Trim tag
416= Medium Saddle
80L= Orange Metallic
E18= Body Built May 18th
Vin#
1- Chevrolet
Z= Corvette
37= Coupe
J= L48
4= Last # in year made
S= Saint Louis Plant
4= constant # in 73 & 74
126724= Sequence # of Vehicle
Engine Block:
3970010
AC Compressor:
5910741= 74L48

I am selling the car to get a larger camper for my family, so one toy must go before I can upgrade another unfortunately.  No partial trades or trades of any kind welcome.  Price is firm.  Buyer pays shipping and all other included costs.  I will drive it to the shipper.  Appraisers welcome under my schedule.  I will deliver within 150 miles of me for free.  Car is for sale locally as well.

More pictures will be sent upon request.  I will take specific pictures if requested to the best of my ability.

Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition, Custom ready to stand out in pickup line

Thu, Feb 12 2015

Chevrolet spent its Chicago Auto Show introducing a pair of fullsize pickups that promise image-conscious buyers a truck experience that goes beyond the standard range, with the murdered-out Midnight Edition and the um, not murdered-out, Custom. Let's start with the Custom, which adds 20-inch alloys, as well as chrome bumpers, mirror caps and door handles to the Silverado LS. Available in both V6 and V8 varieties, and with the customer's choice of two- or four-wheel drive, the Silverado Custom is the decidedly mellower example of Chevy's special edition styling. The Midnight Edition, meanwhile, throws subtlety out the window with a menacing set of visual upgrades. Based on the Z71, the Midnight adds 18-inch wheels, a spray-in bedliner and unique Z71 and Bowtie badges, all in black, of course. The front and rear bumpers, headlamp bezels, tow hooks, mirror caps and door handles, are also finished in the stealthy shade. Check out our live images of both special edition trucks, and let us know what you think down in Comments.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
