1973 Chevrolet Corvette L-48

 

Take a look at this beautiful 1973 Chevrolet Corvette brought to you by CARuso Classic Cars.  

The 350 engine was rebuilt about 8K ago. It was bored 0.030-inch over. TRW pistons and rings were used. Crane cam, lifters and timing set were used (0.450-inch lift and duration cam).  All new Clevite bearings were used. The connecting rods were replaced with stock shot peened rods. The crankshaft is original and the block is a 2 bolt main bearing design. The distributor is an original design with tack drive. Current Owner has installed electronic components in it. The intake and carburetor are Edelbrock. The carburetor is a 650 CFM. The heads are a GM 194 and were rebuilt when the engine was. The engine numbers are matching for the car and as far as current owner knows it is the original block. 

The transmission is a Turbo 400 Automatic and it was replaced with a rebuilt unit when the engine was overhauled.

This car has had the following work completed during the rebuild: Rear trailing arms , new brake lines, new fuel lines and sending unit, new brake calipers, master cylinder, brake booster and brakes. The interior was dyed where it could be and replaced where needed. The seats are Corbeau Racing seats and 3-point harnesses (The current owner has the original seats but they need to be rebuilt no belts). The battery cover lid is broken and needs replacement as well. The odometer stopped working recently. The speedometer and tachometer are operational. The dash pad is in fair condition. It has some tears where the speakers are.

The body was stripped down to the bare fiberglass before painting. The front clip of the car was replaced and has a solid nose cone vice the soft original style. This modification also ended up removing some of the metal supports located in the front end. (The current owner has taken photos to try and capture what was done).  The T-Tops leak as most do. There is some paint wear around the headlights. (The stops need some repair) the vacuum system is intact and the lights are operational. There is also a paint chip on the top of the driver’s door. The windows are operational as are the locks. The windshield wipers work, but the linkages require new bushings. The blades are not original to the 1973 and the wiper doors aren’t there. The washer also doesn’t work.    Overall, this is a very solid and great looking Corvette with reasonable reserve.

Thanks for looking!

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

2020 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled due to faulty brake component

Wed, Mar 11 2020

General Motors is recalling 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups to fix a defect in the trucks' brake system. Certain Silverado and Sierra pickups were produced with brake-caliper bolts that were not heat-treated. Without heat-treating, the bolts are weaker than they should be, and there is a risk that they could fail, which would affect the trucks' braking performance, possibly leading to a crash. In total, 20,352 vehicles are affected. Owners of affected trucks will be contacted by GM. Dealers will inspect the bolts and replace those that are defective. Related Video:      

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance

Fri, Feb 5 2016

A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.
