I just acquired this beauty. I don't have the time to give her to restore her back. The previous owner did alot of work on this car. It's a 95HP/Auto with 99K on it and with care will possibly go another 99K.Engine = rebuilt carbs, wires, plugs, cap & rotor, air cleaner, fuel pump, coil belt, balancer & seal, "O" rings, valve cover gaskets, pan gasket, muffler donuts, good exhaust (very quite). New heater hoses and lower shroud thermostats. Trans/Diff = transmission was flushed (not converter) and filter checked and cleaned, new fluids for bother and are quite, shift smoothly with no gear noise or whining. Very smooth and tight. Brakes = rebuilt master cylinder, steel line in the rear as well as rubber, pads all around have plenty of life, front cross member replaced with solid 65, new shocks (all around) idler are, pitman arm bushing and tires. Front bearings cleaned and repacked, rears quite with no unusual vibrations or whine. Body/Interior = The body on this car is extremely solid. Floors are original and solid. drivers side door has about a 2" rust hole from what appears to have been a small hit at one time but not serious. What you see is surface rust and discoloration. Body interior color combination is pretty. Interior is all original and 98% perfect (years of dirty pant seats have left their mark. Dash is incredible (crisp and clean). All glass is clean with no chipping and front windshield is tinted. Door panels are perfect and windows roll up and down smoothly. wind noise while driving is almost nil .As mentioned above, this is a true daily driver that has never let me down. I've driven it in all kinds of weather and it performs beautifully. Does not leak when it rains and there are NO fowl odors with the heat or defrost on or with "AIR" down which all cables work smoothly. There is this neat after market manual windshield sprayer in the truck with the pump lever under the dash. It needs a bag but would bet it works. Guessing this was dealer install, but has never seen one before. This car would only need slight bodywork and paint to be a show winner. It will give you years of enjoyment as a daily as well but deserves to be painted. As far what I can see the runs fine and just needs some TLC. Currently the speedometer was disconnected and was told by the original owner he was in the process of connecting it. It also needs carpeting. |

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
