I bought this car when it moved up from I believe Arkansas with a blown motor. the car is really clean and I took the motor and trans out sanded painted and undercoated from the firewall back to the back bumper. the engine bay was cleaned where I could get to it. the original 700r4 overdrive transmission is in it. in the last few months ive done all 4 shocks, radiator, exhaust and header gaskets, alternator and starter, heater core, some vacuum lines, window motor, window tint, wipers, oil change, outer window seals, low beam headlights, the list goes on and on. its my daily driver so the miles will go up, I just have too many cars and trying to sell a few off. the motor in it is from a 73 chevy its a 4 bolt main 010 block that done along time ago and I had it sitting around and put it in the car. the four bolt main motor is now .030 over so its a 355 cubic inch motor with flat top pistons if I remember right its a comp cams 268 cam but it might be the 262 cam. long tube headers and the intake is the original 1985 aluminum one from the 305 that the car came with, the "tamper proof" carb has had all the adjustments opened up so its tuneable. all the a/c stuff is still there but doesn't work, I did a trans flush a couple months back also. when the motor went in I had dual exhaust from the headers all the way back to the rear bumper put on. true duals!! with raptor mufflers it sounds pretty mean. it has a sony cd deck in it, and a kicker amp with a single 12" subwoofer in the trunk.

now the bad: a vacuum line leak wont let the heater controls change the position so its stuck half on defrost and floor, the washers dont work and if you turn the wipers on they stay on until you shut the car off. passenger window rolls down but it picks and chooses when it wants to go up sometimes, the windshield has a crack in it, the driver seat motor runs I can hear it but the seat doesn't move, the rear bumper filler pieces are missing and the left front wheel trim moulding is missing, the top of the hood and trunk are sun baked, the door seals leak a little water when you wash the car or in a heavy rain and you get a little wind noise from them when going down the road.

like I said I daily drive it so it doesn't really affect how it runs and drives, I like the car its big and roomy but I have too many cars and cant keep paying storage for everything

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.

'Baby Driver' is a car chase movie set to music

Mon, Mar 13 2017

The Fate of the Furious is certainly the 6,000-pound SUV in the garage of automotive movies, but that doesn't mean gearheads are starved for options. The upcoming film Baby Driver looks to be a winner for car guys, featuring exciting chases with cars including a "hawk-eye" Impreza WRX, a Dodge Challenger, and a 1980s Chevy Caprice. The movie is written and directed by Edgar Wright, whom you may know as the man behind movies such as Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And based on the two trailers released so far, seen above and below, it's about a young man by the name of Baby, who is a getaway driver for criminals. He's apparently the best in the business, and the secret to his success is the music he listens to while he's driving. He also wants out, but his boss, played by Kevin Spacey, has no intention of letting him go. Spacey is one of a number of major stars in the film, including Jamie Foxx and John Hamm. The driving action shown in the trailers definitely looks entertaining. The WRX is seen doing an array of drifts and J-turns. There is some driving precision on display here that wouldn't be out of place in a Gymkhana video. And it looks like Wright's attention to detail in his shots and transitions, as well as some solid comedy relief, are all going to be present. The film comes out this August.

Best Convertibles for 2022

Thu, Jun 30 2022

The past decade has not been kind to the drop-top enthusiast. No matter which dealer you walk into, convertible models have been biting the dust left and right. Nissan Z? Audi TT? Buick Cascada? Volkswagen Eos? All gone. Remember the humble Chrysler Sebring/200? Well, you do now. Fortunately, though, the news isn't all bad. There are still plenty of options out there for those who absolutely must have a convertible. Whether you need something to haul behind your retirement cruiser, a performance car that can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world or just something that allows you to sling the roof back after a long day of on-location business meetings before catching the flight back to your everyday hustle and bustle, there's at least one cabriolet out there to suit your needs. Here are our picks and starting prices for the top convertibles in several categories for 2022.Â For the frugal open-top lover: 2022 Mini Convertible ($34,650) Let's face it; gas ain't cheap. But open-top motoring doesn't need to be a wallet killer. The Mini is cheap (at least by 2022 standards) and an absolute joy to drive, so there's really no downside here ... except for the roof. Get it?Â Â For the hardtop lover: 2022 Mazda MX-5 RF ($37,260) / 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible ($69,695) The number of hardtop convertibles has seriously dwindled due to weight concerns and the fact that fabric roofs have gotten so quiet, but there are still some options for those who prefer a more coupe-like look with the roof up. Our picks here are the delightfully Targa-like MX-5 Miata RF and literally any Corvette Stingray — even the hardtop has a removable roof!Â Â For long road trips: 2022 Ford Mustang Convertible ($34,100) The first image that comes to mind for many who are told to visualize an American convertible is the classic Ford Mustang. It's not the only drop-top pony car out there, but thanks to the Camaro's tiny trunk, it's much harder to see the USA in a Chevrolet when a drop-top enters the equation. The Mustang has much more cargo space and a much larger opening, which is likely the difference between keeping your bags under lock and key or leaving them exposed in the back seat.Â Â For towing behind an RV: 2022 Jeep Wrangler ($31,590) While many small runabouts make sense for towing behind a motor home (or nestled up inside a fancier one), the Wrangler has a serious advantage when it comes to RVing: it can easily be flat-towed.
