It rides beautifully and is incredibly reliable.
We enjoy taking it to local and regional cars shows when the weather is nice and it is always a standout
entry winning awards very frequently. The color is Honduras Maroon (only about 1700 made in this color). The
interior seats were replaced a few years ago as was the instrument cluster (NOS) and all of the gauge faces. The
Wonderbar radio is original but has been rebuilt to include digital circuitry and AM/FM capability. New speakers
were added at the same time. The convertible top is black and has one small tear but the frame is in great
condition and the mechanism works well. I have the original color matched hardtop for the car and it is in
beautiful condition. These hardtops (if you can find them!) sell in excess of $7000.00. The hard top has its one
storage cart and dust cover which will go with the car. About two years ago I had a full custom warning harness
installed made by Lectric Limited....they are the gold standard in custom wiring harnesses. I have replaced the
original Harrison radiator with a custom Be Cool aluminum radiator which assures that the engine runs cool and
doesn't overheat, even in the warmest temperatures. I do however have the original Harrison radiator and it will go
with the car. A few years ago, I found some original spinner hub caps for the car and I installed Coker radials in
the original 1 1/4" whitewall style. Everything I have done with my car has been to keep it as original as possible
and as reliable as possible because I honestly like driving it, not worrying about it. I have lots of memorabilia
with this car (models, manuals, etc) as well as a three ring binder with all of the service records and receipts
for special upgrades and equipment purchased and installed over the last 11 years. This car is a real gem and the
new owner is really going to not only get a classic, but a great running one as well!!

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
