1975 Corvette stingray...This car is much nicer than most.....extremely well optioned with T-tops,tilt/scope...burgandy leather interior, a/c (has a leak but is complete), power windows and am/fm stereo as well as turbo 400 trans with limited slip differential...the 350 engine has been updated to more horsepower(previous owner) and now has edlebrock manifold and carb...I own my own shop and am a liscensed rebuilder with 40 years experience, I bought this car in 1993 from a local recycler that I did much biz with then who'd set it aside as "too nice to part out"... and I agreed with that, being that the damage was only the front bumper and bought it...however besides regular shop buisness, I was involved doing a frame off resto on my 55 nomad and wound up selling it to a friend....that friend stripped the car of the old paint repalced front and rear(due to deterioration,not accident damage) bumpers with fiberglass ones and was preparing to to repaint it when he got hit on his motorcycle and hurt bad enough to have to abandon his efforts and sell the vette, he let me know this and sure enough another friend (the current owner) bought the car and had me finish the work that had been started. we finished the car in the original inca silver.. that was in 2006....since then he and his wife have enjoyed the car during good weather and kept it stored in heated garage during winter, he's selling the car because he's gotta get a kid thru college .....Now a word about rebuilt titles.....This rediculous legislation was inacted around the mid to late 80's as a deterrant to car thieves reselling stolen parts and switching vin tags ect. and as a way to regulate salvage yards and keep them honest....the same politicians also claimed there would be disclosure for consumers to make them aware of potential shoddy workmanship....in doing so any car deemed a total loss by the insurance companies would be branded no matter what the damage....well, in 1995 you could buy a corvette for as little as $3500.00-$5000.00 yet the parts and labor to fix these at the time lowly corvettes was the same as fixing a high dollar new or 50's-60's collector corvette thus it was easy for the insurance companies to say we're gonna total it at 75% total value required and give the owner a few grand and walk away....profit being the only motivation on their part...thus leaving many good old vettes like this in the lurch.... all the consumer really needs is the lemon law....shoddy work happens everyday on all things, I've fixed many cars for insurance companies that belonged in the junk yard and seen many cars get totaled that should'nt have....all this being said this car has a proven track record having been "in the family" for over a decade being used, loved, driven,shown and still looks gorgeous, it has gained value, regardless of the branded title. as it will for you. which I might add this car required no state inspection of vehicle due to it's classic status, proving what I said about theives being the real reason for branding titles....if you're in a state that does not brand titles you will have a clean title when transferred if your state even issues titles for vintage vehicles....I agreed to write this history for my friend Mike who is the current owner and is responsible for this listing....he's taken many pictures and has one of before paint job so you can see for yourself what was done....this is one of the best old vettes out there with one paint job done correctly in the original color and the rest of the car is original and has #'s matching engine/driveline and in excellent condition.....this car has been driven and has some minor imperfections. If you have any questions please ask.

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush
Tue, Aug 29 2017File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.
