1959 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Pepin, Wisconsin, United States
More infos regarding my car at: pearle.weigl@chewiemail.com .
For sale is a very clean 1959 Corvette. This is an excellent DRIVER Quality car. The frame and complete underside
of the car , as well as the body are all EXCELLENT ! Frame has ZERO issues or rot, please see photos. Body is
straight and ALL wheel opening edges as well as rocker edges are extremely clean. The frame is simply awesome.
Either the car had a very nice restoration when painted with lacquer roughly 20+ years ago, or it was an extremely
clean survivor. It was purchased by the prior owner in Florida, and I suspect this has been a southern car for many
years. The paint is in good condition in most areas with the worst spots being across the center of the hood and
front fenders being hazy from checking aged lacquer paint. There is also a spot in the center of the hood where
it's obvious someone years ago installed a carburetor stud that was too tall, and created a spider web in the
paint. Its a true five footer, and from that distance the car looks incredible with very rich and deep glossy
paint. You could just paint the hood and upper fenders to get by for another ten years. All Chrome and trim is
correct and present and in very nice shape as well. The car includes a very nice hardtop as well as a near new
white soft top, albeit probably 20-ish years old. Interior is very nice with some sun fade to the exposed carpet
pieces (car spent almost the last 20 years with the top down) and a few spots of discoloration to the door panels.
All else is excellent. The engine is a NON-original but era correct 283 (Casting number is NOT for a Corvette) but
there is a correct un-bored short block local to me with the correct casting number for $300.00. Generator still
present, the car fires right up and runs smooth and quiet. The transmission is a four speed, and I have no idea if
it is correct. Rear end appears to be original. Shifts and goes down the road well. ALL Gauges work as does the
aftermarket Cassette player, the only non-stock style accessory. Wheels were just added, rims are NOT date code
correct for the car and the hub caps are very nice quality NEW reproductions. Tires are older and should be
replaced with some correct wide whites. Custom Ultra wheels (as seen in one photo) were added years ago, and will
be included if Buy it now is used should you want them, and your carrier will take them.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.
