1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Stingray, white with black interior. I bought the car after it had sat in a garage for about 15 years after the owner got dementia. The paint was done, interior was in a pile, and the car barely ran. I rebuilt all the brakes including rebuilt calipers, lines, and parking brake parts. The wheels and tires were replaced with Yokohamas and wire wheels. The fuel system needed to be cleaned and the carb replaced. I put the interior together and installed aftermarket gauges and had the speedo and tach cleaned and inspected. Still have the original gauges if you want to reinstall them. All the gauges work as they should. I had no top so I bought a used top frame and had a new top, seals, and cables installed. Not cheap to find a top! The wipers work with a switch on the console but the high low can be adjusted with the original switch. Headlights have been changed over to electric actuators so no more air hoses to worry about leaking. The vette can be driven now but it still needs a few things to make it more than a fun driver. It is crazy fast and looks pretty sweet going down the road. It think the 79,000 oriinal miles is about right. I would guess the front end was probably hit years ago, the motor was sold, and it sat for some time. The guy I bought it from installed the 73 front end and a 93 Camaro LT1 motor with aluminum heads to make it go fast. The motor looks really clean inside, but it does have a few seeps from sitting for 15 years. Plan on a few gaskets in the near future. Paint overall looks pretty nice, it has some small body cracks but very minimal. I bought a 2001 MR2 for my daughter and this car body is in way better shape! The suspension has never been replaced so I would guess sometime in the future it would all need to be done. Not bad to drive, but I'm sure it would tighten up the suspension if you put all new bushings and shocks on it. the frame looks like it is in real good shape, probably because it was off the road for so many years. Interior is mostly all new except for the door panels. Seats must have been recovered too because they look nice under the seat covers. This is not an all original corvette but it is a nice driver and could be a nice ride without too much work. High book is up to $38,000.00 so a good driver should be worth my reserve. I did not plan on selling it, but we all know how that goes. Life always gets in the way of life. If you have any questions please e-mail me and I will tell you what I know. I have put about 1500 miles on it since I've had it. It's a fun summer car and gets lots of attention. Convertible Stingrays are kool cars! You are responsible for all shippping, but I will do all I can on this side to get it loaded. I also have some extra parts and pieces for the interior I will include. I'm sure there are a few other little things I cannot remember, but overall its a good car.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 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."

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
