Corvette Roadster Hardtop Convertible Briar Blue Project 4 Speed 350 on 2040-cars
Perrysburg, Ohio, United States

This is the kind of project I always wished I would have been able to find, but ironically, now that I have it, I need the money more! This car is pretty much all there, it needs to be gone through and reassembled. My father purchased this car in 1991. It had been in an accident and the front clip was missing. He replaced the front clip, frame and any rusty parts in the metal substructure in the body. all of that work is still sound. The frame is from 1973 automatic car. The only thing you will notice is that there is a removable cross member to make transmission removal much easier. The car came with the original 350 engine that had been rebuilt by the previous owner. When he was in the process of getting it ready to start, life got in the way. He kept the car in the garage, collecting NOS and repro parts to replace anything the car needed but never got back to working on it. The top frame and soft top were never with the car since he owned it, but there is a factory hard top in excellent condition. The car was painted the original color back in the early 90s and still looks great as the pictures show. There are some scratches and chips but nothing major. I'd just touch it up and go with it! The front and back bumpers are good but used, Original engine and trans were rebuilt, but sitting for 20 years will require going through again. I'd definitely replace the seals at least. I have not tried to turn the engine. The wheels and tires on the car are just for pushing it around, there are 4 original style wheels and NOS beauty rings and 4 good caps. The exhaust pipes are used and in good condition, there are two new mufflers and exhaust tips. Most or all of the exterior badges and letters are NOS. There are new old stock Ecklers seat covers and foam with it, I think one of the seat frames needs a crack welded up. The back of one of the seat foams has been gnawed on by a mouse, but will be usable with a little work. There is an unused set of high quality front carpets. I don't know of anything else I can report. If you keep in mind the top missing, and the 20 years in the garage, I don't think there is anything that will surprise you on this great project!
The good, Pretty much all there except soft top beautiful blue paint job in very good condition new seat covers and foam, beauty rings, trim pieces, etc. original engine, trans and rear 67000 miles clear title The bad no soft top or frame 20 years sitting inside replacement frame On Sep-08-14 at 09:35:47 PDT, seller added the following information: |

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
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.
