1968 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Lubbock, Texas, United States
1968 all numbers matching 427/390hp Corvette Sport Coupe, this car has
everything including its original spare and spare tire, recently completed a minor restoration, the rare stereo
radio was repaired and is in perfect working order. Had all the bushings replaced as they were the original factory
bushings and disintegrated when removed, the car was re-aligned and my mechanic was surprised to find that the car
had never been aligned before, the factory shims were still in place. The car was aligned and the factory shims
were saved. A number of rubber weatherstripping around the t-tops were replaced. Clock and all gauges work
perfectly, alternator is correct date code The gas tank was dropped and the there was enough of the tank sticker
remaining to confirm the 390 hp Turbo-jet engine, the M-21 close ratio transmission, positraction rear end, leather
interior, and British Green paint The original tank was removed, the sticker sealed, and a brand new tank was
installed The car also has a fuel return line, no radiator overflow tank, and 5600 redline tach, confirming the
390hp engine option.
The 18th picture is of the matching numbers transmission case Paint is in good condition, there are two small
cracks by the front passenger hood mount, but all in all good driver quality paint
This car is well optioned and as you see below, has two rare options, the rear window defrost and the factory car
alarm, all the parts for the car alarm are there, the plungers in each door, the horns in the rear wheel wells, and
the key in the rear valance, I did not have it hooked up as it has been known to drain the battery. Interestingly
the car has exhaust cutouts from a 70, it looks like they were added at some point or as a replacement but I could
not find any evidence of damage

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
