This is my 1969 Chevrolet Corvette with all matching numbers engine, transmission and rear end. It's an extremely original car that retains all of what was installed at the factory with the exception of what needed to be replaced for drivability and safety. Interestingly, up until the time I bought it, this car has spent all 46 years of it's life with the first two owners within a few miles of the original selling dealership. The original owner special ordered it in January 1969, received it in April and kept it for the next 41 years! The odometer is currently showing 32,905 miles and after thoroughly going over the car, I believe it to be correct. Everything seems to be in good working order and even all the factory installed glass is still present. It was ordered with the following options according to the tank sticker: 427 CI - 390 HP Turbo Jet V8, 4-speed close ratio transmission, posi-traction 3:36 rear end, tilt-telescopic steering wheel, soft ray tinted glass, rear window defroster, F70-15 red stripe tires, special wheel covers, front fender louvers with trim, AM/FM radio in Fathom green with black interior.
I have the original window sticker ($5729.05 MSRP), protecto plate, warranty papers, owner’s manual, key number knock outs (rare), special order receipt with the $100 deposit check, paid in full delivery bill of sale receipt and the canceled check for the remaining balance of $5249.85 dated April 3, 1969. The original owner drove it approximately 18,343 miles up until late 1974 when he parked it in his furniture warehouse only to be taken out occasionally. He only added about 11,254 more miles over the next 15 years when the car needed a new AC Delco carburetor (I have the one that was removed) installed August 2,1989 with 29,597 miles. The points and condenser were also replaced. The gas tank developed a leak and was replaced with a new one March 26, 1990. I have the original tank with the infamous broadcast sheet still attached! New Firestone F70-15 red stripe bias ply tires were installed June 13, 1990 (still on the car with no signs of dry rot). Four new brake calipers with stainless piston sleeves were installed June 25, 1996 (I have the original calipers). The exhaust pipes are stainless steel and both mufflers were replaced with OE style from "Corvette Central" June 22, 2011. This year, the distributor cap, rotor button and spark plugs were replaced. The car starts, runs, drives very well.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
