Up for auction is a 1976 Orange Flame Corvette Coupe. The owner of this great car has owned it since 2009. Prior to that, my best friend owned it. He has had it since 2006. The paint code is 70 (Orange Flame). Interior code is L,64V=Bu. The car is numbers matching. The only thing on this car that was added, was the luggage rack. A few years ago, the paint was freshened up, and holds a great shine.
I have been taking this Corvette to car shows for the past 3 years, while my 74 Corvette is being restored. It won a lot of awards.
The Good about the car. Never has been wrecked or rebuilt. It's a little better then a surviver condition. Tires have over 80% of tread on them. Frame is not rusted any where, and the bird cage is in great conditon. Like I said, I have known this car since 2006, and can verify anything since then. Rear brakes were just put on last weekend, so it was ready for the Columbia, Missouri Corvette Show. New radiator, water pump, a arm bushings and seals. All bearings in trailing arms have been rebuilt 2 years ago. The ride is amazing!!!
The bad (to me). The headers needs to be replaced with stock manifolds. Exhaust pipe needs to be reduced back to 2 and a half inch. (now 3"). To me, the sound is just a bit too much. There is an oil leak from the rear of the engine. Most likely the rear main seal needs replaced. And some one who knows all about vacum lines to carb, to idel better. It runs great, lots of tourque, but at low speeds, seems to be a little rough. This Corvette sits in storage most of the year. It needs to be driven and shown off.
The interior is very straight. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 9.5 or better. New carpet 3 years ago, with new floor matts. The paint condition is a 9.2. There a are couple of places where it needs to be touched up, but wont see them til you look real close. door and hood alignment is perfect. Even the head lights work like they should.
The gentelman that owns this car now is selling 2 of his 3 corvettes. Another 76, but it is red with black interior. He is in his mid 70's and is finding it a bit too much to keep up with these cars.
Transporation is up to buyer, and there is no implied warrenty. I believe he or I will help locate transportaion if needed, but it will be up to the winning bidder. If there are any questions about what I may have missed, just e-mail me, and I will respond as quickly as possible. This Corvette is located in Fulton, Missouri, and if, at any time, can be inspected by you, by making arrangements.
Thank you for taking time and intrest in this fine 76 Corvette Coupe. Happy Bidding.

I have made a mistake. This is an L-82, NOT an L-88. I am very sorry for this misunderstanding on my part.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups
Wed, Aug 5 2015Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.
