Many other high quality Corvettes and GM muscle are also being sold - so check the other items. Car breaks down as follows: 19437 Corvette Coupe: $5653.25 FACTORY AND DEALER INSTALLED
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: TOTAL INSTALLED OPTIONS: $1676.35 Manufactured at GM’s St Louis Missouri assembly plant and then trucked across town to St Louis Missouri based Fields Chevrolet, this ’72 Corvette has benefitted from one single frame up restoration throughout its entire 42 year existence. During the top notch restoration, the car received its one-and-only repaint of GMs striking code 989 War Bonnet paint that has been well-maintained, and presents an extremely glossy shine. Unlike a lot of classic Vettes, this car has not been over-restored which means it still displays factory correct panel gaps, and its fiberglass body fits together exactly the way it would’ve when leaving the showroom in 1972. The result is an ace Corvette with an awesome, flat finish that is virtually free of ripples and waves. 1972 was the last year for chrome front bumpers on the Corvette, and this cars original bumper is in very good condition and presents a great shine. Below that bumper, great looking original stainless grilles house original marker lights and sit above a subtle black chin spoiler that follows the lines of the car’s front fenders. Above the bumper, an original fiberglass hood features painted black stripes that border correct “LT-1” callouts and sit in front of pristine chrome accents. At the back of the hood, original stainless windshield trim has been buffed to a great looking shine and connects to stainless trimmed T-tops which also wear striking War Bonnet yellow paint. At the sides of the car, chrome trimmed fender louvers sit above dent free stainless rocker trim and complement great looking original stainless mirrors and door handles. At the back of the car, a chrome factory luggage rack sits above four traditional stainless trimmed Corvette tail lights that are divided by centered “Corvette” lettering. Below the tail lights, two more razor blade style original bumpers sit above chrome trimmed exhaust outlets that house square stainless exhaust tips. Tilt the hood on this glowing Corvette and you’ll find a numbers matching, top option LT-1 V8 that was fully rebuilt to factory specifications during the cars restoration. Equipped with solid lifters and a high performance camshaft, this hot 350 produces 9:1 compression ratio and cool 255 net horsepower (or, for you traditionalists, 330 gross horsepower) At the top of the motor, a chrome open element air filter sends air into a correct, exclusive to 1972 Holley 4 barrel carburetor. Below that carburetor, a correct Winter aluminum intake sits between the cars original finned aluminum valve covers. Below those valve covers, the engine block has been bathed in correct Chevy Orange paint and is border by correct ram horn cast iron exhaust manifolds that show hardly any rust. At the back of the motor a correct distributor sits under a chrome shield, and at the front of the motor you’ll find the cars original Frigidaire AC compressor sandwiched between fresh hoses and fresh V-belts. With a smooth coat of satin black paint, the car’s engine bay presents well and features a rebuilt master cylinder and power brake booster and a correct radiator and fan shroud. Take one look underneath this car and you’ll see that it has been highly maintained and treated well its entire life. Exceptionally clean, the frame is devoid of the typical amount of scrape marks and dents you’d expect after almost four decades of road time, and the solid fiberglass floors appear to have never been hit or repaired. Behind the engine, a hardcore M21 Muncie 4-speed sends power to a Posi-traction rear end that houses tall for 1972 3.36 gears. The close ratio transmission slips easily through the gears and when combined with the cars standard power steering and power disc brakes, it makes for a quick, great driving car that might even surprise a few drivers in modern performance machines. Holding the car off the ground is a road ready original double A-arm front and solid independent rear suspension that houses a traditional transversely mounted leaf spring. Exhaust is handled by a low restriction factory style true dual system that features two factory replacement mufflers just ahead of stainless tips at the rear of the car. Putting the power to the pavement is four 15 inch steel rally wheels that are glued to 215/70 BF Goodrich T/A radials and wear pristine silver paint behind turbine style center caps and stainless trim rings. Slip into the cars heavily optioned all original code 421 Saddle interior and settle into one of the comfortable leather covered bucket seats. Well broken in, but not showing major signs of wear, these seats still contain their original frames, houses original foams and feature original headrest inserts. Below the seats, the cars clean and stain free saddle carpet runs from under the dash to the lighted cargo area and creates an awesome 70s feel. On the doors, original saddle colored panels feature great looking stainless trim and wood appliques above chrome handles and correct chrome twist locks. In front of the driver, the cars straight and crack free dash houses crystal clear gauges next to an AM/FM cassette player with a digital tuner and a correct passenger’s side map pocket. Power flows from that AM/FM cassette deck through a Pioneer amp mounted in the cars jack well to hidden Pyle speakers in the cargo area. Below the dash, the cars original saddle console houses rotary controls for the cars rare air conditioning system, a chrome Hurst shifter with a marbled shift knob and buttons for the cars optional power windows. In front of the driver, a correct black rimmed and satin spoked steering wheel features a correct C3 crossed flags horn button. This car comes with pretty extensive documentation that includes: copies of the original window sticker, the cars tank stickers, an owner history, a recent appraisal, receipts from the restoration, reference material about the car and both old and new pictures which include detailed photos of the cars 1972 LT-1 350 Holley carburetor. This is a numbers-matching LT-1 Corvette with factory air conditioning and War Bonnet Yellow paint is a rare, well documented car that’s ready to drive home today for less than the price of a frame-off restoration. |

GM might lose 90-year U.S. sales crown over chip shortage
Sat, Oct 2 2021Automotive News editor Nick Bunkley tweeted on October 1 that according to AutoNews data, General Motors "has been the largest seller of vehicles in the U.S. every year since passing Ford in 1931." With automakers having turned in light car and truck sales data for the first three quarters of 2021, GM's 90-year-run might not reach 91. According to AN figures, Toyota was 80,401 vehicles ahead when the October workday started. Worse, GM is so far behind its historic pace that it might only sell enough light vehicles in the U.S. to match its numbers from 1958. Meanwhile, the New York Times put a few more salient numbers to the pain GM and Toyota are enduring alongside the the rest of the industry. GM sold 33% fewer cars in Q3 2021 than it did in Q3 2019 during the dark days of the pandemic, 446,997 units this year as opposed to 665,192 last year. GM's Q3 2020 was only down 13% on Q3 2019. Over at Toyota, the bottom line showed a 1% gain in Q3 2021 compared to 2020, with 566,005 units moved off dealer lots. The finer numbers show two steps forward and one step back, though; Toyota's September sales were down 22% compared to last year. GM remains optimistic about what's ahead, GM's president of North American operations telling the NYT, "We look forward to a more stable operating environment through the fall." We'd like to see that happen, but we don't know how it happens. The chip shortage said to have been the inciting incident for the current woes isn't over, and not only can no one agree when it will be over, the automakers, chip producers, and U.S. government still can't get on the same page about who needs what and when. Looking away from that for a second shows articles about "No End In Sight" for supply chain disruptions in early September, before China had to start working through power supply constraints, global supply chain workers started warning of a "system collapse," and roughly 500,000 containers sat waiting to be unloaded at Southern California ports — a record number seemingly broken every week. And back to chips, we're told just a few days ago the chip shortage is "worse than we thought."  For now, the NYT wrote that GM dealer inventory is down 40% from June to roughly 129,000 vehicles, and down 84% from the days when dealers would cumulatively keep about 800,000 light vehicles in stock. However, GM just announced it would have almost all of its U.S. facilities back online next week, although some would run at partial capacity.
GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'
Mon, Mar 17 2014As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
2020 Ford Escape hybrids vs other crossover fuel sippers: How they compare on paper
Wed, Apr 3 2019Along with a new generation of Escape, Ford also reintroduced the world to the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. And if that weren't enough, Ford is adding a plug-in hybrid version. This is a sign of the times: people are more crossover crazy than ever, but are also seeking ways to use less fuel, whether it's for environmental or purely money-motivated reasons. The Ford hybrids aren't the only fuel-efficient compact crossovers on the market. They will be going head-to-head with conventional hybrids including the 2019 Kia Niro, 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid and 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. There are other plug-in hybrids including the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV, 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the plug-in version of the 2019 Kia Niro. There are even a couple diesels in the form of the 2019 Chevy Equinox and 2019 GMC Terrain. So we've rounded up the details on all these crossovers to see who leads and lags in criteria such as power, fuel efficiency, space and price. Check out all their details below. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid View 68 Photos How do their engines and fuel economy compare? Conventional Hybrids and Diesels Let's face it, if you're buying one of these crossovers, one of the things that matters most to you is just how frugal with fuel they are. We'll start off with the conventional hybrids and diesels, and the clear victor is the Kia Niro, which in base FE trim, manages to hit 50 mpg combined. This is thanks to it sharing its powertrain with the Hyundai Ioniq, the Hyundai equivalent of the Toyota Prius. Buyers should take note that only the FE returns such high fuel economy. The LX and EX drop to 49 mpg, and the S Touring and Touring get 43. Even then, the least efficient Niro is the most efficient of the normal hybrids and diesels. It is nearly the least powerful, though, with 139 horsepower. Just behind it is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. It delivers 40 mpg combined, and it has an ace up its sleeve: it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Every other vehicle in this powertrain group has front drive standard, and the Niro isn't available with all-wheel drive at all. If that weren't enough, the RAV4 Hybrid also boasts the most power at 219 horses. While we can't say anything about Escape Hybrid fuel economy, we do know that it will make 198 horsepower, which is close to the class-leading RAV4. The least powerful of these is the Equinox and Terrain, and they return the worst fuel economy at 32 mpg.
