1971 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Stingray, white with black interior. I bought the car after it had sat in a garage for about 15 years after the owner got dementia. The paint was done, interior was in a pile, and the car barely ran. I rebuilt all the brakes including rebuilt calipers, lines, and parking brake parts. The wheels and tires were replaced with Yokohamas and wire wheels. The fuel system needed to be cleaned and the carb replaced. I put the interior together and installed aftermarket gauges and had the speedo and tach cleaned and inspected. Still have the original gauges if you want to reinstall them. All the gauges work as they should. I had no top so I bought a used top frame and had a new top, seals, and cables installed. Not cheap to find a top! The wipers work with a switch on the console but the high low can be adjusted with the original switch. Headlights have been changed over to electric actuators so no more air hoses to worry about leaking. The vette can be driven now but it still needs a few things to make it more than a fun driver. It is crazy fast and looks pretty sweet going down the road. It think the 79,000 oriinal miles is about right. I would guess the front end was probably hit years ago, the motor was sold, and it sat for some time. The guy I bought it from installed the 73 front end and a 93 Camaro LT1 motor with aluminum heads to make it go fast. The motor looks really clean inside, but it does have a few seeps from sitting for 15 years. Plan on a few gaskets in the near future. Paint overall looks pretty nice, it has some small body cracks but very minimal. I bought a 2001 MR2 for my daughter and this car body is in way better shape! The suspension has never been replaced so I would guess sometime in the future it would all need to be done. Not bad to drive, but I'm sure it would tighten up the suspension if you put all new bushings and shocks on it. the frame looks like it is in real good shape, probably because it was off the road for so many years. Interior is mostly all new except for the door panels. Seats must have been recovered too because they look nice under the seat covers. This is not an all original corvette but it is a nice driver and could be a nice ride without too much work. High book is up to $38,000.00 so a good driver should be worth my reserve. I did not plan on selling it, but we all know how that goes. Life always gets in the way of life. If you have any questions please e-mail me and I will tell you what I know. I have put about 1500 miles on it since I've had it. It's a fun summer car and gets lots of attention. Convertible Stingrays are kool cars! You are responsible for all shippping, but I will do all I can on this side to get it loaded. I also have some extra parts and pieces for the interior I will include. I'm sure there are a few other little things I cannot remember, but overall its a good car.

Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride
Thu, Aug 14 2014The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.
MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
