For sale is a 1994 Corvette in very good condition, it is fantastic especially for a 20 year old sports car. It’s a classic Corvette C4 design and a great ride thanks to Corvette’s remarkable suspension. The car pulls hard with 300/300 HP/Torque. It comes with original owner’s manual in Leather book and 2 sets of keys. All black interior, carpets, floor mats, and leather seats. All original features operate. Never smoked in and everything works (except the CD player). This Corvette has the standard 245 / 45’s in the front and 275 / 40’s in the rear and the tired have plenty of tread only minor wear. No dents or dings and the paint is shiny. I am the second owner - car has always been garaged! It was never driven in the winter or when the roads were wet, very pampered Reserve is set below Book Value. I will gladly help with shipping logistics, but it is the buyer's responsibility to arrange for and pay shipping. Interesting Anecdotes: You will want to choose your own nickname for this Corvette, when you get it, but it will always be “the bat-car” to my kids. They especially like turning the corner onto our street and coming up the driveway while the automatic garage door opener is at work. They pull into the garage, turn off the engine, and immediately lower the garage door behind them while the Batman theme music is playing on the Bose speakers. Yeah I know it’s cornball, but it never seems to get old they cheer every time. The history of this Corvette is unique. It started life as an “Executive Program” car. Did you know that all GM executives are obligated to drive all the GM models for about three months and that those cars, which are typically fully loaded, are then sold to the public? Well it’s true and this Corvette started life as an executive car, but not in the typical manner. This Corvette was placed into the executive program at the request of a lobbyist who had strong ties to GM management, which is apparently not unusual, but who knows. The story is that the request was spurred by the lobbyist’s desire to give his wife the Corvette-of-her-dreams for their 10th wedding anniversary, with a give-me-a-ticket red exterior and black leather interior. It made a big hit and I'm guessing he got lucky that night and perhaps several nights afterward.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
