Chevrolet Corvette Lt-1 on 2040-cars
Fox Lake, Wisconsin, United States
1972 Steel Cities Gray LT-1 convertible. Numbers matching engine and transmission. In ’72 only 405 LT-1 convertibles were built and only 11.4% of all corvettes that year were Steel Cities Gray. This car is in very good shape and runs excellent. The car was treated to a frame off restoration in the late 90's and has only been driven in good weather since. The engine has been rebuilt to factory specs and produces and unbelievable rumble as it idles. I bought it in 2007, had it shipped here and it passed the Wisconsin emission test. Lights, gauges, clock, radio, turn signals, etc… all work. It is not a concourse car its more of a driver. Some changes from standard are as follows; 1) Updated suspension components including a mono spring in the rear 2) New carb, original one is included. 3) Hurst shifter, original one is also included. 4) Hood stripe should be white. 5) 4.11 rear end 6) The smog stuff is gone 7) Leather seats, light weight high torque starter, tires, etc.. The black vinyl hard top is included but could use some restoration. I’ll include a new set of weather stripping for the hard top. A 3-ring binder documenting the previous owners (including copies of titles) and work done is included. Several other things to note; 1) The speedometer runs fast due to the nonstandard rear gears. 2) There are a few small dings which must have occurred when previous owners were adding or removing the hardtop. I only had the hardtop on for a few weeks and have only used the convertible top since.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.
