1973 Chevrolet Chevelle on 2040-cars
Arcata, California, United States
I recently obtained this vehicle from the guy who brought life to it. He got the vehicle about 5 years ago - an SS roller with all original rust free and straight sheet metal, original interior, etc. A low mileage 454 engine(4 bolt main) and TH400 3 Speed Automatic transmission were taken from an 80s Chevy pickup. As you can see from the photos he spared little expense. He tried to keep as much of the original vehicle as possible - only redoing those items that needed attention. The exterior paint was re-done - a beautiful black - the paint is like glass - easily a $5K + paint job. The interior is extremely nice - the car retains its original SS door panels and rear seat. Restoration included a custom dash pad, new matching upholstery on the front seats(factory swivel buckets), new carpet and headliner. Upgrades to the 454 include the following: General Motors Dual Plane high rise manifold, Edlebrock 800 CFM carb, HEI distributor, Hooker Headers, 2.5 dual Flowmaster Exhaust, large aluminum radiator, Transgo Shift kit. The car has a 3.55 positraction rear end. New parts include water pump, belts, hoses, alternator, starter, tires, KYB rear shocks, U joints, rebuilt front disc brakes. It also has new rubber seals at both doors and trunk. Newer tires sitting on vintage Centerline staggered wheels. You wont find any rust on this Fremont CA built Chevelle. The car has mostly been sitting in a garage, driven rarely since completion - the owner found a new project and this one was taking up the garage space so had to go. With that being said it will probably need some tweaks here and there but the car is extremely solid, has plenty of power and can be driven and enjoyed as is. The car has Power brakes, power steering and power windows - all work as they should. Gauges work in a blend of factory gauges and after market(Example - factory tach does not work but the large lower tach does work). I

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
