69 Corvette Coupe 427-435 L71 Tripower. Nice original car does not appear to have ever been hit hard anywhere. All codes believed to be correct as to color options etc. Car was 427-390 hsp from factory now 427-435 L71 tri-power 1968 model. This car is in the registry and was sold at Mecum Auction in Kissimee Fl appox 7 years ago for $35,500. Looks to be a 10-12 year old restoration of good to very good quality. Car is very fast and very tight drives like a fully restored automobile. No clutch chatter no evidence of abuse by a heavy footed owner. Straight nice body as pictures show,very nice original interior,we believe. Engine compartment sorted out well and not overly detailed with cheap inappropriate aftermarket parts. All shielding in place and great looking covers cleaners wires etc. Motor tight runs strong lifters etc sound as new. Fires and comes to idle very nicely smooth acceleration braking clutch etc everything works wipers have a mind of their own. Head lights dead on up--down both. Goosebumps guaranteed with every start up it is truly tight and sounds terrific. I have handled 1500-2000 corvettes and know the difference. So when I say it sounds like 1969 and feels like 1969 I know what I am talking about. I was 16yrs old when I drove my 1st 69 big block coupe. NOTES; paint is weak in several places see all pictures. Pipes not original. Undercarraige is very nice frame also. Tailpipe holes are in excellent condition. No silly inappropriate stuff about this car just super nice lines and raw horsepower pretty dark green original color with black vinyl interior , am/fm radio. No heated seats no navigation no walnut dashboard no communications center. How sweet it is!! Though many areas of this car have been lovingly restored its interior is dead original survivor condition. seat covers carpet dash console door panels post panels etc all appear to be original and in very nice condition. small areas of carpet are faded and frayed a bit but patina is as good as it gets. The areas of weak paint can be redone and blended with the still strong areas to make this car a great driver with a nice appearance. It does not need a full paint job just refer to pictures very straight panels no evidence of accidents bad body work etc solid panels all the way around the car and engine compartment. Only area which appears to have had work is driver door premature cracking is the only real evidence we can find. See pictures. Your questions invited however we prefer not to end the auction early. The reserve is conservative just under $30,000 and out of respect for all bidders we would like to see the auction through. Good luck and be sure to ck out our reviews since 1948 business done the right way over 35,000 automobiles bought and sold full transparency no secrets. Thanks for your time and attention.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles

Fri, Mar 25 2016

Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai
