1962 Chevy Ii Drag Car on 2040-cars
Star, Idaho, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1962 Chevy II drag car which could easily be made street legal although it would be quite scary. The all original steel body is laser straight. The quarter panels have been sectioned to accommodate the slicks while keeping the axle centered in the wheel opening. The power is supplied by a 436 small block (dyno says crowding 700 hp) outfitted with Brodix heads, Jesel shaft rockers, Comp cam, Edlebrock super victor and a 1050 Dominator. A JW glide w/ultra case and straight cut gears sends the power down to a narrowed Ford 9". Current ring and pinion is 4.88 to keep the times at 10 flat. A 4.56 or 4.30 rear gear drops the times into the low to mid 9's. The 4 link rear suspension, full MSD ignition, coated Lemons headers, B&M shifter, Pro-Comp gauges and custom 8" Continental converter (5800 stall) complete the package. The front end has double a-arms, coil overs, rack and pinion and big disc brakes. On the rear, once again disc brakes, two sets of rear tires included 12" Goodyear slicks and 14.50 M/T streets both mounted. For weight reduction the hood and trunk are fiberglass however the original metal parts are on sight and are included. There is a clear clean title. The car has a full cage NHRA certified to 8.50 with swing out driver's and passenger side bars. There is a delay box (never used) included for those who prefer to run the super pro classes. Much, much more included Also available is a 24' Pace American dual axle enclosed trailer. This can be incorporated as a package and or delivery deal. However this auction is for the car only and further discussion about the trailer can be discussed with the winning bidder.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
