1961 Corvette Roman red with white coves and black interior. This Corvette is good cosmetic and mechanical
condition. This is a non-matching numbers Corvette, 4 speed and appears to be a real Roman red car. I was told
when I purchased it about 6 years ago that it has a 1969 Camaro 327. The paint is presentable (NOT show quality)
and does have some minor scratches and cracking in some areas. From 5 feet away, it looks great.
The white top is intact and fits nice with a small tear just from being in the down position. When I took the
pictures, I hadn’t had the top up for about 5 years – hence the wrinkles. There is no rush on the frame
(appears to have been well rust proofed when new). Appears to have been be repainted once.
The only problem, which does not affect the driving or handling is that the heater box was/is removed and the
immediate area around the passenger hood latch was re-glassed and done poorly (see pictures). It does not affect
the outside appearance (hood area or cowl or the working of the hood latch. I know the person who had the car
before me and it was done over 20 years ago). I have the heater core parts – they go with the car.
The Carburetor was totally professionally rebuilt, rear end had been rebuilt (likely to change gears to a lower
ratio (believe they are 352 gears)) for cruising, the clutch, pressure plate and throw-out bearing were replaced
and the radiator was completely disassembled and re-cored.
I have had a number of Corvettes from the years 1954 to C3’s – most NCRS Top Flight quality cars. I brought
this car to enjoy as a driver. I live in NJ and wouldn’t hesitate to get in the car and drive 1K miles. It is
very reliable and starts immediately. I take the car to Corvette Carlisle with no problems (350 miles). The car
has radial tires on it to improve handling.
I am only selling the car because I will be moving in a year and have other collector cars and motor cycles. The
cost of moving the herd any distance gets expensive. If I don’t sell it, it’s not a big deal to me.
I took 170 picture and will be glad to send you whatever angle or view you would like. If you are in NJ, I would
encourage you to look at the car. I will make every effort to be available.

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's
Thu, Oct 4 2018GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
