You're looking at my mostly original 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray t-top coupe. This is a numbers matching, original engine Vette. This car is a great runner. It was originally a pewter silver color but was repainted torch red by previous owner of almost 30 years! The paint job looks good but is not show quality (5-10 footer, nice and shiny, a few flaws up close). The car is highly optioned with tilt/tele steering wheel, power brakes, power steering, power windows, deluxe interior with leather seats, shoulder belts, and factory A/C. This car is a driver, so there are a few little flaws here and there. Nothing detracts from the beauty of this car though! It has a great stance and sits just right (not all goofy and jacked up because someone didn't know how to install new leaf springs correctly). The side pipes make it look even more aggressive, and it sounds amazing! The rear exhaust outlets are still present so if one wants to convert back to stock, it can be done quite easily. The original deluxe black leather interior looks good, but again it is in driver condition. The drivers seat cover has been replaced, passenger has not (looks fine, just not new). Carpets are decent. Door panels and dash are nice and original. All chrome is driver quality, again...original to the car. Again, this car has never been restored but it drives and looks good. The car is now sporting an LT-1 big block style hood, which definitely looks better than the stock small block hood (was swapped out when the car was painted red years ago). This has always been a Southern car and has no rust other than simple surface stuff which is normal for a 42 year old car. It has been garage kept all its life, and since 1984 (when the previous owner bought it with approximately 64,000 miles on it) it has only traveled an additional 16,000 miles +/- to it's current reading of 80,412. I was told by the previous owner this is original and has not rolled over. I drive the car on weekends so that number may go up slightly. The car is very strong, and pulls through all gears very well. The 4 speed tranny feels great. Tires and brakes are all good. The pop up lights work as they should. The wiper door works intermittently (probably a small vacuum leak). Interior lights work, as well as key buzzer and parking brake. I have the original radio/amp as well as an owners manual. The t-tops don't rattle, and this year still has the pop out rear glass window. Overall this is a fantastic Corvette that just needs a new owner. Drive and enjoy and restore as you go along if you desire. It is great looking and gets thumbs up every time I take her out! She's faster than my 1970 300hp Vette! This is not a $30k show car, nor is it a $10k beater. This is a basically 2 owner Vette that is mostly original (minus the color change, hood and pipes). I am a private collector thinning my collection (per my wife's request) from 15 down to 11 currently...she'd like it be 6. So, this sweet ride must go. I'm selling at NO RESERVE, so the last bid wins the car. PLEASE have all your ducks in a row, finances in order, and permission from your wife, boss, priest, whomever BEFORE bidding and certainly before winning! The car MUST be paid in FULL than no later than 5 days after auction ends. You don't have to pick it up by then, but it MUST be paid for by then. PERIOD. I have had 2 bad experiences in the last month with bidders not paying for 2 other cars I sold. I'm over it. This is not a game. It costs ME time and money to keep relisting. It's an auction. You win, you bought it. Car is for sale locally so the auction could end at any time. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to make an offer. All sales are final, no refunds and no warranty is expressed or implied. This car is 41 years old. It is a great driver and will give you years of fun. If you want perfection, go spend $30-40k for a restored one. If you want killer looks, performance, and a blast to drive at a fraction of that...then buy mine. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Remember, this is a no reserve auction..so bid high and bid often. Last bid wins! Good luck!

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala
Fri, May 23 2014Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
