1961 Corvette Convertible. Real time capsule begging for a new life.
Very original body, perfect frame. One of the straightest early Corvettes I've ever seen.
All bonding strips intact. See inner fender well pictures and picture of body below front license plate brackets
showing no repairs or damage to this great condition body. Car was parked due to wiring harness short in the
February 1983 and stored in an airplane hanger in Torrance, CA, ever since. Great candidate for NCRS Top Flight,
Bloomington Gold or restomod requiring very little body work to be perfect and no frame repairs required to this
rust free frame. The frame stencil numbers are still present, and there is absolutely no pitting, scaling or thin
spots on this smooth steel frame. It has the numbers matching original engine, original cast iron powerglide,
original third member, carb tag still on carb, Harrison radiator, original generator.
This may have been a radio delete car as original owner installed an aftermarket radio and antenna more than 30
years ago and there are no ignition shields. I put new tires on it as of 10/2015 as the old tires would no longer
hold air. Original interior is all there and needs to be redone due to age and condition of seat covers and carpet.
Original soft top with great condition rust free frame. Doors shut with one finger, chrome is original and needs to
be done, all stainless is original. Trunk shows no repairs and is missing original jack and wrench. Original trunk
mat is present but is aged and cracked. The only thing I see is a small 1.5" diameter modification done to the
recess area at the end of the jack handle in the trunk that would be an easy fix.
Remember, this car has been parked for almost 33 years. I have not done any cleaning or painting to spruce it up
for the sale. I sort of wiped the dirt off the VIN tag and that's about it. The engine compartment and underside of
the car are just dusty/dirty as seen in the pictures, not even a tint of rust anywhere. The underside and inner
fender wells have had no undercoating sprayed on them which is a big plus when inspecting this car. The vacuum
lines attached to the upper radiator hose were part of a bolt-on California smog device that regulated the vacuum
advance during warm up, was used in the 1970's and was later abandoned. It's interesting that it is still on the
car. This car was part of a large estate sale.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
