Check out this former show car built by the legendary customizer Larry Watson! This Corvette only has 15,551
original miles! This one has won many awards and trophies at car shows in the early 1970's! This car was known as
"Chetah" during its hey-day around the Southern California area!
This Corvette was purchased brand new on September 12th,1969 at Bob Keefer Chevrolet in Santa Monica,California for
the daughter of a businessman from Bellflower,CA and then was taken to the legendary customizer Larry Watson in
Hollywood,California for custom body modifications,paint and interior .He is one of the most well known crafters
along with George Barris and Von Dutch for automobile customization. The customization included L88 hood,wheel
flares,side scallops,tail lamps,5 spoke Gold painted American Racing wheels plus the rear wing is Plymouth
Superbird inspired.The pink exterior and interior was chosen by her to replace the factory Riverside Gold and
Saddle Vinyl interior. The stock 350 was then removed by Connell Chevrolet in Costa Mesa and replaced by a L88 454
where that motor remained for approximately 3 years. She later found the L88 engine to be way too powerful and was
subsequently removed and replaced in 1973 with a stock 454.
This Corvette was then sold in 1978 and remained in California until 2001 and went to Mesa,Colorado for a period of
time.They then moved to Las Vegas,Nevada where I found it in a backyard, where it has been for approximately 10
years.After much research,I spoke with the original owner and she verified the information listed.She was saddened
to hear about the car being left outside.
We rescued the Corvette and replaced the fuel tank and sending unit,replaced the battery and completed a oil
change.It does run and drive but I recommend a restoration of this rare car. The vintage Goodyear tires are from
1993 and hold air but not are not roadworthy.The options include factory A/C,tilt steering wheel,power windows and
cruise control plus AM-FM stereo.It also has power steering and power disc brakes.All of the factory gauges
including the clock work! The horn,windshield wipers and the T3 headlamps all work correctly.It does retain all
factory smog equipment.The vinyl interior and thick shag carpeting are in excellent condition.The glass and chrome
trim look great also! This vehicle does deserve to be restored back to its former glory.
Included with the vehicle are the mint original owner's manual,Protecto-plate with warranty book,delivery
envelope

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups

Thu, Aug 1 2019

DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.

Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S-Class and more

Thu, Sep 9 2021

This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Genesis G70 2022 Genesis G70 View 26 Photos Quick take: Genesis hits all the right buttons with its G70. It's attractive, fun to drive and can be had for a fair price. Enthusiasts should give it a shot before taking home one of its German competitors. Score: 8 What it competes with: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Lexus IS, Acura TLX, Infiniti Q50, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CT4, Volvo S60 Pros: Sharp handler, stunning exterior looks, strong engines Cons: Average interior, loses manual option, small backseat and trunk From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "I was already a big fan of the Genesis G70. It has brilliant handling, and the twin-turbo V6 is a beast. It's even a bargain against the competition. And Genesis just made it look a lot better. I wish they'd done a bit more to update the interior, but it's still not a bad cabin. Besides, you won't think too much about it when you're hustling down a fun back road." Features Editor James Riswick — "Yes, it is small, but in a sport sedan segment where "sport" means increasingly less, the G70 still delivers (in part because of that smallness).
