1969 Corvette Convertible, 350, 4 speed, power steering, the mileage is unknown. This is not an expensive show car, this is a DRIVER that This could be a matching number car, the engine has been decked and the engine is removed and comes with the car. The car had front suspension parts, clutch, and pressure plate and throw out bearing replaced. The brakes are excellent and it shifts very smoothly. The headlights go up and down like they are suppose to work. Since I know the car, I would not be afraid to take it on a long distance trip tomorrow, but like all things that are mechanical and electrical, it might not make it out of town. There is one bubble in the paint on the top rear passenger side about the size of silver dollar. It has been there since I have owned the car. Since I have owned the car it has never seen rain or nighttime driving. It is kept under cover in a climate controlled building. If you want a Corvette to enjoy driving, then this is the car for you. It has 4 wheel disc brakes. The tach and engine parts suggest that is was originally a 350ci/300 hp car, but there is an upgrade intake manifold. I have included pictures of the dash, speedometer, engine, the plate above the driver's door hinge below the windshield and front of the engine on the 1" ledge on the passenger side between the head and block, next to the water pump. This is the previous owners Car history. I have sinced removed the engine and replaced with a 1969 350/350hp Corvette Engine, the engine that was in the car had been decked and I could not read the numbers on the front pad to verify if it is a numbers matching engine, I looked up the casting on the back and that is correct. I have taken off the PO2 hubcaps and replaced with Beauty Rings and Center Caps. I like this look much better. I also replaced the dash pad. The car has alot of new parts that were not listed by the previous owner. All new power steering componets, front end was rebuilt, new shocks, new drive shaft and half shafts have new u-joints. new rear leaf spring, and the trailing arms have been replaced, new E-Brake componets, new battery cables, new wiper motor. I did replace the clutch with a duel friction center force clutch to accomadate the new power. I also resealed the M-20 transmission and replaced the shifting fork inside. The car has a 3.08 rear and I would like to replace with a 3.73. I would also like to install Flowmaster 40's on it to give the nice sound. Since the rebuild I have about 10 miles on the engine, I was deployed to Iraq for the past 9 months. The engine is a 11-1 compression with Pink Rods. I can provide more information on the engine, you will be very Happy with the performance of the engine. It has a new HEI Dizzy. The car is missing the spare tire carrier and a couple of interior pieces that finish off the rear compartment. I am also learning what parts are correct. I am not looking to have a 100% parts and numbers matching car, I just want it to look nice and to be dependable. You can go on c3registry.org/index.php?job=ShowCorvette&car_id=16351 to more pictures and also you can go on Youtube and look up Harris1507 to see and hear the car running. The car also can be seen on the forums.corvetteforum.com/members/harris1507-408423-albums-garage-randy-27367.html I have the Delivery Dealer Zone and Code from NCRS You can e-mail me to ask anymore questions about the car, if you provide a phone number I will call you back. I don't need to sell and I am not broke so no low ballers. I will gladly show the car, please feel free to come and inspect or have someone come and look at it. The car also comes with the engine that came in the car complete except the starter, also the original dash pad and the PO2 hub caps. I'll even throw in the MSD distributer and 6A MSD The original color was Riverside Gold with Black Interior |

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus
Fri, Jun 16 2023General Motors sold second- and third-generation Suzuki Cultuses with Geo or Chevrolet Metro badging in the United States from 1989 through 2001 model years, and we've all seen plenty of those cars on the street over the years. The first-generation Cultus was sold here as well, with Chevrolet Sprint badges, and I've found a rare example of the Sprint five-door hatchback in a Northern California car graveyard. The Chevy Sprint first appeared on the West Coast as a 1985 model, then became available everywhere in the United States for the 1986 through 1988 model years (in Canada, it was sold as the Pontiac Firefly). It was available here as a hatchback with three or five doors; for 1986 only, the five-door was badged as the Sprint Plus. Soon enough, The General would be selling many more Asian-built cars with Detroit badges here. Isuzu I-Marks were sold as Chevrolet/Geo Spectrums starting in the 1986 model year, while Daewoo provided the Pontiac LeMans two years later. Under the hood, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 48 horsepower. The five-door Sprint cost $5,580 in 1986, which was $200 more than the three-door (those prices would be $15,445 and $14,891 in 2023 dollars). I've documented seven discarded Sprints prior to this one (including an extremely rare Turbo Sprint), and all of them were three-doors; we can assume that price was the most important factor for Sprint buyers. Gasoline prices were crashing hard during the middle 1980s, but memories of gas lines and odd-even-day fuel rationing from 1979 remained strong. What cars competed with the '86 Sprint on sticker price? Well, there was no way to undercut the hilariously affordable (and terrible) Yugo GV, which cost $3,990. The much bigger (but still pretty bad) Hyundai Excel listed at $4,995, while Toyota would sell you a sturdy (but zero-fun) Tercel starting at $5,448. Even the wretched Chevy Chevette — yes, it was still available in 1986 — cost $5,645. The original buyer of this car was willing to shell out an extra $395 to get an automatic instead of the base five-speed manual. That's about $1,093 in today's money. This car must have been slow. By the end, the doors were held shut with duct tape, but it still stayed alive until age 37. 53 miles per gallon on the highway! It does everything. The camels of the highway.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing
Tue, Aug 14 2018We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
