1966 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Watsonville, California, United States

It is with some regret that I am putting my 1966 Corvette Stingray up for sale.
I bought this car from ProTeam Corvette in Napoleon OH in June of 1999. After driving it for a few years the original engine (matching # block) threw a rod. Instead of rebuilding the engine I put it on a engine stand and installed a new Chevy ZZ4 crate engine. I will ship the original engine and stand with the car. The ZZ4 engine is a 350 ci, 360 horsepower engine with aluminum heads. I don't recall what the torque is. The new brakes are upgrades from the original 4-wheel disc and will not loose brake pressure if stored for a while. I have also installed the following: Power steering with an aftermarket rack and pinion steering unit from Corvette America (I think it was Corvette America or Eklers) I was getting catalogs from them for years. Ceramic headers. Front Stabilizer bar. Large capacity radiator and fan. Everything on this car works but not perfectly. Headlights are a bit slow but will rotate. The radio and even the power antenna works although living in Santa Cruz CA. the reception is terrible. Door latches are a bit sticky. Interior is original as far as I can see. The car had a frame on restoration at ProTeam Corvette and was repainted. I have a dust cover for it but is only a inside cover, not waterproof. The car runs beautifully and other than a couple paint chips (tiny) is in excellent shape. The car shows no evidence of ever having been in an accident, the body shows no evidence of fiberglass repair or undercarriage damage. I have the steering parts, flywheel and an extra cam from the original engine. I do have a hard top for it but while it was painted when they did the restoration, it is scratched. I did this when I moved it from my shop to my garage. I never planned to put it back on anyway. I would like to pass this great car on to a good home, my time taking care of it is coming to an end. I'm 56 yrs old and have never abused or been out hot rodding in it, well maybe a little. I had the mechanic who has done all the work on it for the last 10-12 years go over everything that I wrote in this ad to verify the description and I just had it detailed and it really looks great. I have replaced or repaired everything on this car so all you need to do is enjoy it. The classic Corvette is a joy to drive, it sounds powerful and throaty, and it draws a crowd wherever I go.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Nissan Leaf makes it 19 in a row for record sales; Chevy Volt drops 21 percent
Wed, Oct 1 2014The Nissan Leaf continues its streak of "best month ever" sales with 2,881 EVs sold in September. Compared to the 1,953 sold in September 2013, that represents an increase of 47.5 percent and, as Nissan itself must be tired of saying by now, it marks yet another best month ever, same as last month and now the 19th in a row. Okay, sure, we know, Nissan will tout this run for as long as it can, but we're certainly expecting it each month, so if it ever doesn't happen, it'll be interesting to see how Nissan talks about it. Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. In any case, Nissan's director of EV marketing, Toby Perry, sent AutoblogGreen a statement that said, "Nissan Leaf owners have turned into some of our best marketers, and they jump at any opportunity to share their enthusiasm with friends and family. Take National Drive Electric Week – a grassroots celebration of all things EV and the perfect platform for LEAF owners to showcase the benefits of going electric. After celebrating with EV owners in more than 130 cities across the country, we saw a significant increase in Leaf showroom visits with midweek traffic just as heavy as what we see on the weekends." Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. Over on the Chevy Volt front, things aren't quite as rosy. After coming off a good August (the best sales month of 2014 by almost 500 units), Volt sales were down to 1,394, a decrease of 21.1 percent compared to September 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 13.2 percent year-over-year. It's kind of a stretch, but perhaps people are already waiting for the next-gen Volt, which will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January, to go on sale? Speaking of things we say every month, our in-depth round-up of US green car sales is in process and will be appearing soon. Until then, please discuss how these two long-standing plug-in champs are doing on the sales floor. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales hybrid sales
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
