This is a true business coupe not a modified one. It still has the original wood platform in the rear. There is no back seat in this car, and there never was. This car was originally purchased by the Bell Telephone Co.
The car was originally white. These cars were completely deleted of all trim, radio, and even the rear windows didn't roll down. This car was painted by the Bell Telephone Co a medium Green/Grey. The Black was painted sometime in the late 1970's. There is no rust on the car that can be found. There is the normal surface rust here and there but no rust thru spots that i am aware of. The glass is nice for a good driver. There are no cracks or chips and very little delamination around the edges. There is no front carpet. It was removed because it was in bad shape. The trunk mat and platform mat are both missing. The front seat and the door panels are in great condition. Great foam in the seat. The back does not sag either. Still has the original trunk insulation on the trunk lid.
The chrome on the car is pitted but very very restorable. The rust on the rear bumper is just surface rust. The condition of the bumpers are great.
The car has been cleaned from top to bottom. There is very little grease and grime on the undercarriage. Everything has been meticulously cleaned and checked. But nothing was painted, so nothing is hidden. The paint is not perfect and should not be expected that it is. There is very little shine on it. The paint is very oxidized, however looks great with great PATINA! Some paint is peeling off on roof and other small areas. Only the black is peeling off down to the Greenish/grey paint.
The engine is original and just went thru a major tune up. New fuel pump, carb, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, rebuild original generator, new water pump, new fuel sending unit, cleaned and sealed fuel tank, cleaned and checked radiator. Exhaust seams to be mostly original, except new donut at manifold. Car does have a slight engine oil leak coming from the front timing cover area. Engine, Trans, and Differential all serviced.
This car Runs & Drives Beautifully. All four drum brakes are new. New shoes, wheel cylinders, springs, and turned drums. New shocks too.
There is only one spot on the car that I can find that has any Bondo. It is a softball size dent that was covered in the right rear quarter panel. The front right fender has some paint checking, but does not seem to have any filler work in it. This car also has brand new Michelin Tires on all four corners along with original poverty hub caps.
Again this car is a running and driving car. It has been lowered alittle back in the day. But has a great stance and is a great driver. You won't find a nicer car to start a restoration, or just to have a fun driver as is. Car is not currently registered, But I do have a Title. Also have original air cleaner that will go with the car too.
Vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction early.
You can see this car to inspect it by responding thru Ebay or calling 909.894.9451. Any other questions or pictures please call too. This is a one of a kind find Dont Miss Out! Thanks Brian

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
