This is a very nice surviving, unrestored car with matching numbers. Always garaged. I purchased this car about
nine years ago from a Corvette dealer based on the no-hit body, integrity and overall originality. Other than the
4-Speed, radio, shoulder belts and the fully tinted glass, it is a no option car. As a road race enthusiast, I
wanted it this way to feel the briskness of the road and the simplicity in ownership.
The original color is Goodwood Green. The car was painted in lacquer 35 years ago and it is holding up great with
no cracking but does have some nicks. This color is Riverside Gold that the original owner thought might look good
and he wanted a change. The Interior is 100 percent untouched original and only the carpet is showing any signs of
age. Even the original clear plastic floor mats are still with the car.
About nine out of ten mid-year Corvettes have blemishes and imperfections in the paint. It is just an inherent
trait with older fiberglass cars. So, in a sense, these cars always need paint jobs.
The original door waist seals and fuzzies are present and are in very good condition. This is where the window goes
down into the door...those outer seals.
The engine is matching numbers to the car’s original and unmolested data plate under the dash. It has never been
apart. All engine bay components are original and matching to the car. Only the water pump was replaced (original
is included). The engine does feature the dealer added correct 350hp alloy valve covers. I rebuilt the original
Holley carb with ethanol friendly components and used the blue Holley gaskets. I also just installed an ethanol
friendly OEM fuel pump.
In my ownership, I have replaced the rear mufflers with Magnaflows, added new stainless rear tips and new chrome
bezels. I replaced the rocker panel covers and replaced the sill covers. I rebuilt the left headlight motor so that
it matched the speed of the right side and I had the front end aligned with the steering wheel perfectly centered.
This cars drives tight and smooth. They are only original once.
The stance is excellent, nice and low and level from left to right. The car tracks perfectly down the highway and
is a joy to drive. There are no cracks on the dash top and no rips or tears in the seat upholstery. The engine is
quiet, transmission shifts perfectly and rear axle geared 3.36:1 is quite.
This is a great candidate to restore, scuff and respray back to Goodwood Green, convert to a 427 clone or
Pro-Tourer. I looked at over 25 cars before buying this car for it’s originality and perfect panel fit. The
bumpers were replaced with NOS units and they are pristine.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts
Mon, Dec 7 2015The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC.

Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology.

The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
