1959 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Pepin, Wisconsin, United States
More infos regarding my car at: pearle.weigl@chewiemail.com .
For sale is a very clean 1959 Corvette. This is an excellent DRIVER Quality car. The frame and complete underside
of the car , as well as the body are all EXCELLENT ! Frame has ZERO issues or rot, please see photos. Body is
straight and ALL wheel opening edges as well as rocker edges are extremely clean. The frame is simply awesome.
Either the car had a very nice restoration when painted with lacquer roughly 20+ years ago, or it was an extremely
clean survivor. It was purchased by the prior owner in Florida, and I suspect this has been a southern car for many
years. The paint is in good condition in most areas with the worst spots being across the center of the hood and
front fenders being hazy from checking aged lacquer paint. There is also a spot in the center of the hood where
it's obvious someone years ago installed a carburetor stud that was too tall, and created a spider web in the
paint. Its a true five footer, and from that distance the car looks incredible with very rich and deep glossy
paint. You could just paint the hood and upper fenders to get by for another ten years. All Chrome and trim is
correct and present and in very nice shape as well. The car includes a very nice hardtop as well as a near new
white soft top, albeit probably 20-ish years old. Interior is very nice with some sun fade to the exposed carpet
pieces (car spent almost the last 20 years with the top down) and a few spots of discoloration to the door panels.
All else is excellent. The engine is a NON-original but era correct 283 (Casting number is NOT for a Corvette) but
there is a correct un-bored short block local to me with the correct casting number for $300.00. Generator still
present, the car fires right up and runs smooth and quiet. The transmission is a four speed, and I have no idea if
it is correct. Rear end appears to be original. Shifts and goes down the road well. ALL Gauges work as does the
aftermarket Cassette player, the only non-stock style accessory. Wheels were just added, rims are NOT date code
correct for the car and the hub caps are very nice quality NEW reproductions. Tires are older and should be
replaced with some correct wide whites. Custom Ultra wheels (as seen in one photo) were added years ago, and will
be included if Buy it now is used should you want them, and your carrier will take them.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
