1965 Corvette Coupe Restomod built using a Jamison Corvette, 3 tube NASCAR style chassis with a complete 1996
Corvette LT4 driveline. Car was completed 10 yrs ago and only driven 7500 miles since completion. Body and paint
are excellent. Body fit and lines are laser straight, much improved over factory build. Paint color is a metallic
Burgundy with a black interior. The quarter panels were widened 2" and lower flairs added to accommodate the larger
wheels and tires of the donor driveline...this was done while maintaining the original body lines and wheel opening
characteristics. The 65 roof vent "gill" openings were removed to give a cleaner look. All the chrome was replated
and the stainless polished. Car was initially built with coil overs all around but after driving was converted to
the original rear fiberglass transverse spring that gave a better handling ride and less hop in tight turns ( rear
original coil overs go with car).
The interior uses the 1996 black leather seats. The dash was converted to accommodate Autometer Ultralite gauges
with the clock built to match the gauges. Vintage Air Surefit A/C system was installed using the original Chev A/C
compressor. The car still retains its fresh air vents for seasonal air flow. All of the interior trim components
were replaced at the time of build ie. rugs, door panels, headliner, dash pads, etc. All window glass is excellent
and factory tinted. Factory power windows are fully functional. Power 1965 antenna is also functional and factory
located. The Nardi steering wheel is in excellent condition and was signed by Duntov in 1992 and the glove box door
signed in 1994, while I attended NCRS National conventions.
The engine is a 1996 stock LT4 with a reprogrammed computer to match installed components and extra power. Coated
block hugger headers are installed and run into 2.25" pipes with and X pipe and Magnaflow mufflers, exiting thru
the rear valance with 1969 tips. 1996 factory power steering (rack and pinion) and cooler is utilized. 1996 brake
components, booster and 13" front rotors are present and give great stopping ability. Cooling is accomplished using
the 1996 radiator and fan assys. A new water pump and thermostat was fitted at build time as well as new
distributor to prevent future problems ( these items have always been problems with LT engines). The transmission
is ZF 6 spd manual. The clutch assy and slave cylinder was replaced with new when the car was built. The rear is a
3:42 Dana 44 which was the optional rear and a heavy duty piece.
The car has chrome ZO6 style wheels with new Goodyear F1 Z rated tires, front 255/45 r17 and rear 285/40 r17. The
1996 spare tire carrier and spare is mounted under the car in the original factory position and can be utilized if
required. Headlamps were updated using replacement halogen bulb type lamps in place of sealed beams. Headlamps work
well with rebuilt motors.
The Corvette is a pleasure to drive and enjoy. It always attracts a crowd and everyone wants to know how the wheels
and tires were fitted until they realize the full modifications. It runs on mid grade gas and gets 25 miles to the
gallon (about 1800 rpm at 80). The entire underside of the car was sprayed with Pick up bed Rhino liner(black)
before the body was installed on the frame. The car can be bought and driven home w/o worry.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.
