1981 Corvette Project Car -was Factory 4 Speed - Solid Texas Frame - 81 C3 Vette on 2040-cars
Marseilles, Illinois, United States
|
Here is a 1981 Corvette project that I have had stored inside for several years. It is a rare combination of dark blue exterior, silver interior, and was a factory 4 speed manual transmission. This was a Texas car and it has a very solid frame, floors, and birdcage. Rear section of the body from the firewall back is in great shape, front clip (nose) was removed due to fiberglass damage. Two front clip sections are included as pictured. Some dash pieces are missing, but the dash wiring is intact. The car has tilt / telescopic steering and power everything (steering, brakes, windows, locks, seat). It was also set up for the rear roof top carrier. No engine or transmission are included. but engine wiring, clutch linkage and shifter linkage are still in place,
Basically, what you see in the pictures is what you get. It is ready to restore to original or build into whatever you want such as a resto-mod with newer engine and transmission. I was going to go with either a big block or LS motor with a 6 speed and a tilt front end, but the possibilities are endless. It currently has a clear Illinois title in my name. It's a great project, I just have too many and have decided to sell a few. It can be inspected at any time - I'm about 70 miles southwest of Chicago along I-80. Serious bidders / buyers only, please. Full payment is expected within 7 days. Cash at time of pick-up is best, otherwise buyer must arrange transport after payment clears. I can provide inside storage for up to 30 days as long as the car is paid for in full. 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 1968 1969 1979 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 Vet Vett Corvett stingray sting ray Bloomington gold survivor race drag street stick shioft 5 speed trans clutch linkage t top tops spoiler luggage roof panel body section tub rolling chassis chassie chassy monza 350 427 454 502 496 396 T5 ZF 5.3 4.8 6.0 6.2 7.4 8.1 |

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
