1964 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Roadster/Convertible
This is the quintessential driver quality C2 Corvette Roadster! Beautiful color combination that demands attention
everywhere it goes. I purchased the car from a older gentleman earlier this year who was moving to Nevada and was
unable to bring the car with him. He had owned the car for the past 20years. If he was lucky he was able to put on
a few hundred miles on in a year. I have had the opportunity to drive the car this year and put on well over 2,500+
miles. From cruises in town to 4-5hour round trips to Door County Wisconsin the car has never let me down. I am
reluctant to sell it however another classic car has gained my interest and I simply do not have the garage space
for the both of them.
ENGINE: The engine is known to be a factory replacement 327ci. The casting #'s match a 62'-67' 327. As for the
rest of the engine compartment it has aluminum intake manifold and valve covers. Most other engine components are
original type. The engine compartment is clean and well serviced. I do have receipts for the engine being rebuilt
by a classic car restoration shop in 2008 about 5-6k miles ago.
TRANSMISSION: 4-speed manual Muncie transmission with hurst shifter.
SUSPENSION: The suspension is solid and claimed to be in very-good un-restored condition. Suspension components for
the most part are original. This was very important to me and I had the car inspected prior to me purchasing it for
peace of mind. No worries here!
As for the rest of the car the major interior parts carpets, seats, and door panels are in very good condition. The
gauges, radio, glove box, dash, seat belts, and trim all fit well. The original clock is hidden behind a cover. The
clock could use a rebuild and some tlc. The radio is inoperative and I have not addressed that issue. All gauges
work to my knowledge with the exception of the gas gauge. It has a tendency to read half or 3/4's when it's full
and correct at certain times. The gas tank itself is relatively new and is able to burn pump 91/93 premium fuel.
The exterior of the car is very presentable and grabs attention with the tan interior combination. For the most
part there is no spider cracking or major imperfections. There is scratch or knick here or there however the paint
is in overall good condition for its age. Chrome also is in good condition with little to no oxidization and normal
pitting. There is a painted to match hardtop that compliments the car very nicely. The hardtop is in good shape and
fits fairly well. One could replace weather-strips down the road for better fitment however this didn't bother me.
One of my favorites is the tan soft-top. The soft-top is in excellent shape and was recently replaced including all
new hardware, nuts & bolts. Overall this is not your frame-off restoration 6 figure car.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 [w/videos]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

I think I was supposed to be back hours ago. Driving northwest on State Road 190 with a final destination deep in the heart of the Death Valley National Park, it occurs to me that I might have agreed to return after an hour or so, instead of the four I'll end up stealing, solo, in the new Z06. Somewhere in the combination of mountain vistas, arching, speed-hungry desert roads, and the sound of this titanic engine on a constant run up the rev ladder, I forgot everything I'd promised back at home base. The generous, civilized part of me worries for a moment that absconding with the new-best Corvette might have left one of my fellow journalists without a car. But the selfish part of me – the part largely in control of the rocket-launcher of a throttle under my right foot ­– says "screw it." I spent two days with the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, a monster of a sports car that will soon be dominating track days everywhere, and I never once was inclined to share it. Hurtling through the shattered stillness of the desert and pulling big Gs at Spring Mountain circuit, I never felt overly disposed to give up my seat. This Corvette, more than any I've yet driven, was deep enough to hold my attention; for two days, for two years, probably. With this Z06, the Corvette steps over the amazing-for-the-price category, and solidly into the best-cars-in-the-world zone. There are peripheral elements that remind me of its blue collar, Bowtie heritage, sure, but there's more that simply begs me to carry on driving... faster. Most casual car observers will be able to pick the 2015 Z06 out from its less aggressive Stingray brothers. Subtler hints include a new, more open grille, larger extractor on the taller hood and rather discreet badges on the flanks of the car. More outrageous is the finned spoiler on the rear trunk lid, and the widebody look offered from flared fenders – an extra 1.57 inches (40 millimeters) at their beefiest point. Even driving around performance-car-laden Pahrump, NV – loaded thanks to the very active community at the Spring Mountain racing resort – members of the local populace were turning heads, waving and generally noting the Z06 with approval when I drove through town. In Torch Red over black painted aluminum wheels, staggered at 19-inches in front and 20 at the back, the amped-up Z06 hits a new level of road presence for the C7.

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
