1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Conyers, Georgia, United States
|
I bought this car back in July,2009 and then began upgrading,repairing and replacing everything in the car other than the engine,as that had already been done before i bought the car. This car has been completely rebuilt. It needs nothing. The project was completed in Jan.,2014 with $92,250.00 having been spent. There has only been approximately 300 miles put on the car since it was completed. Put gas in the tank and drive it anywhere. This car is equipped with a factory original numbers matching 327 cu. in. / 300 h.p. engine that had been completely rebuilt shortly before i bought the car. Whoever rebuilt this engine knew exactly what they were doing,as this is a very strong engine. I replaced the 2-Speed Power Glide Transmission with the better 3-Speed Turbo Hydra Matic Auto. Trans. for much better drive ability and performance. At this time i had all (6) universal joints replaced,as well as all (4) shock absorbers replaced. I had the entire Air Conditioning system converted over to the newer R-134-A system from the old R-12 system. New "Sanden" A/C compressor,new condenser core with electric fan pushing air through the front of the condenser core. A cutoff valve installed that stops the follow of coolant running through the heater core for much better A/C cooling. Completely replaced the entire power steering system with all new components. Completely rebuilt the entire instrument cluster with new speedometer cable,new tachometer drive gear,new clock and installed all new "L.E.D." lights for much better visibility at night. New power window buttons. Completely rebuilt the entire cooling system starting with a nice big heavy duty "De Witt" aluminum radiator,a high performance water pump,a 6-blade direct drive fan replacing the original 5-blade clutch fan. You will NOT have any of the old cooling problems that Corvettes were so well known for. I also had the water jackets inside the engine block drained,cleaned and flushed before installing all of these nice new parts. I also installed nice new metallic hoses. The entire electrical system has been rebuilt with a new alternator,voltage regulator,battery and a new compact starter. All new fuel system including a Holley 4 bbl. carburetor with manual choke,Holley Fuel Pump and all new metallic fuel lines. All new "H.E.I." electronic ignition system complete with custom made "Taylor" ignition wires. All new power brake system complete with high performance stainless steel brake rotors for much cooler braking operation,a new power brake booster and master cylinder. Car has "Positraction" rear end with a rear end gear ratio of 3.08:1 replacing the 3.36:1 rear end gear ratio that came with the car. I found this to be much better for the air conditioning compressor to do a much better job of cooling at highway speeds. Replaced all old tail lights with the new "L.E.D." light bulbs. Making it much easier to be seen at night. Repaired headliner,installed new insulation and new carpet. Had windows tinted. Replaced a leaky exhaust manifold on the drivers side with a good factory original part.
Some of the factory options on this car include "Side Mounted Exhaust Pipes",Delco AM / FM push button radio with power antenna,"Day / Night" inside rearview mirror and i had installed a right hand side outside rearview mirror. This car also comes with "After Market" knock off wheels. These wheels ARE NOT factory original "Kelsey-Hayes" knock off wheels,but I think they look very nice. Also included with the car are a 1966 Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual,1964 & 1966 Corvette Owners Manual. Every part receipt and all of the documentation that I have. The spare tire is new and has never been on the ground. The 4-tires that are on the ground are relatively new,as they only have approximately 9,000 miles on them. These tires are B.F. Goodrich Premier Touring White Walls (215 70-R-15) and the spare is a B.F.Goodrich Touring Black Wall (205 70-R 15). Odometer reading at the time of this listing is 71,475. Car is being sold "AS IS". Thanks for looking. P.S. This is my "SHOW CAR" and has won 12 Plaques and Trophies. The plaques and trophies will go with the car. P.P.S. I'm sure it goes without saying,but "THIS CAR NEVER GETS DRIVEN IN THE RAIN"!!!!!!! It is garage kept in a climate controled garage,air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Anyone having any serious questions concerning my pride and joy please don't hesitate to ask and I will try to get back with you "A.S.A.P."! |

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
