1964 - Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Adelanto, California, United States
1964 Corvette Coupe L84 327 375HP PB, being sold without the fuel injection unit. Engine: It has a 327 fully rebuilt. Old parts used inside the engine are the crank, rods, block and heads. All other parts inside block were replaced. I built this engine to speck, solid cam (Duntov 30/30) factory hi compression pistons and all other needed bits & pieces. Outside the engine I used the original starter (date coded) Water Pump, Fuel Pump and deep sump oil pan. I had the engine rebuilt with a winters intake and holly carb. This combination dynode out at 375HP @6400 RPM. The modifications on this engine are, distributor changed to electric pickup, rocker arms upgraded and the valve studs changed to thread in units. I have a complete and restored fuel injection unit with K66 ignition that I was going to sell with this car, but changed my mind. If interested in this setup, email me. Transmission : 4 speed, M21 close ratio Rear : Was a 456 Posi rear. When I pulled it for a rebuild, I changed the ratio to 411. Fully rebuilt with under 200 miles on it. Suspension : I replaced the front sway bar end links, rear shocks, rear spring and end links. The tires have less than 1000 miles on them. Every thing else has unknown wear/miles on it. Body: It now has a good coat of silver on it, but it was dark blue (Daytona Blue) when it left the factory. The emblems are shinny, but have some paint loss. Sometime before I owned this car, someone had all the wheel wells flared out. When this was corrected back to a factory look, the job wasn't done so well. Although the paint is good, the body would be considered driver quality. Interior: Now black, the factory color was two tone, Dark Blue and White. The current seat covers are a little worn with slight rips on the upper inner sides of them. The carpet is a bit faded and the door panels look good. I had the steering collum rebuilt and the dash wiring harness replaced a while back. Misc : I had the engine harness replaced with the engine rebuild. I replaced the headlamp wiring to remedy a headlamp that wouldn't open properly. I replaced the alternator with a 130 amp unit. It really makes a difference on the brightness of the tail lamps. The license plates on the car have been updated to old black plates though the state DMV and come with the car. Runs/Drives: Starts up easy, idles well, runs good. Has Power brakes, stops good for 4 wheel drum brakes.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
