1966 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible with hard top.
327 CID 300 HP V8, Powerglide automatic transmission, power steering, AM/FM radio with power antenna, Knock-off
wheels, teak steering wheel, and luggage rack.
Matching numbers. Mileage slightly over 27k. Still has original jack and lead hammer although one side has been
used. It comes with the factory seat covers to keep the occupants cool in the summer. They still look new. I have
the original security plate from the first owner in the back of the factory manual.
Everything works except the tachometer. I have replaced the tach drive gear once but it seems the distributor is
the issue. Car runs great so it hasn't been a priority. Paint has a few minor imperfections but is still glossy and
in incredible shape. The washer bottle is old and brittle so I don't keep any liquid in it but the pump runs fine.
The only part that has been replaced and should not have been is the carburetor. It's still the correct size
Holley but it has an electric choke, not the factory manifold choke.
Things I've done:
* Garage kept and covered for the entire time I've owned it.
* Only oil with sacrificial metals used (lucas high zinc) and not just off the shelf stuff.
* New brake calipers all the way around. They are notorious for leaking if not replaced as the factory ones were
made from inferior metals. New master cylinder as well.
* Added small electric fan on the radiator. (Does not interfere with factory setup and is not spliced into factory
wiring)
* New alternator.
* Lead additive with every fill up.
This car is in amazing condition.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
