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.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV

Sat, May 30 2015

Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
