1966 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Watsonville, California, United States

It is with some regret that I am putting my 1966 Corvette Stingray up for sale.
I bought this car from ProTeam Corvette in Napoleon OH in June of 1999. After driving it for a few years the original engine (matching # block) threw a rod. Instead of rebuilding the engine I put it on a engine stand and installed a new Chevy ZZ4 crate engine. I will ship the original engine and stand with the car. The ZZ4 engine is a 350 ci, 360 horsepower engine with aluminum heads. I don't recall what the torque is. The new brakes are upgrades from the original 4-wheel disc and will not loose brake pressure if stored for a while. I have also installed the following: Power steering with an aftermarket rack and pinion steering unit from Corvette America (I think it was Corvette America or Eklers) I was getting catalogs from them for years. Ceramic headers. Front Stabilizer bar. Large capacity radiator and fan. Everything on this car works but not perfectly. Headlights are a bit slow but will rotate. The radio and even the power antenna works although living in Santa Cruz CA. the reception is terrible. Door latches are a bit sticky. Interior is original as far as I can see. The car had a frame on restoration at ProTeam Corvette and was repainted. I have a dust cover for it but is only a inside cover, not waterproof. The car runs beautifully and other than a couple paint chips (tiny) is in excellent shape. The car shows no evidence of ever having been in an accident, the body shows no evidence of fiberglass repair or undercarriage damage. I have the steering parts, flywheel and an extra cam from the original engine. I do have a hard top for it but while it was painted when they did the restoration, it is scratched. I did this when I moved it from my shop to my garage. I never planned to put it back on anyway. I would like to pass this great car on to a good home, my time taking care of it is coming to an end. I'm 56 yrs old and have never abused or been out hot rodding in it, well maybe a little. I had the mechanic who has done all the work on it for the last 10-12 years go over everything that I wrote in this ad to verify the description and I just had it detailed and it really looks great. I have replaced or repaired everything on this car so all you need to do is enjoy it. The classic Corvette is a joy to drive, it sounds powerful and throaty, and it draws a crowd wherever I go.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
