1973 Chevrolet Corvette L-48

Take a look at this beautiful 1973 Chevrolet Corvette brought to you by CARuso Classic Cars.

The 350 engine was rebuilt about 8K ago. It was bored 0.030-inch over. TRW pistons and rings were used. Crane cam, lifters and timing set were used (0.450-inch lift and duration cam). All new Clevite bearings were used. The connecting rods were replaced with stock shot peened rods. The crankshaft is original and the block is a 2 bolt main bearing design. The distributor is an original design with tack drive. Current Owner has installed electronic components in it. The intake and carburetor are Edelbrock. The carburetor is a 650 CFM. The heads are a GM 194 and were rebuilt when the engine was. The engine numbers are matching for the car and as far as current owner knows it is the original block.

The transmission is a Turbo 400 Automatic and it was replaced with a rebuilt unit when the engine was overhauled.

This car has had the following work completed during the rebuild: Rear trailing arms , new brake lines, new fuel lines and sending unit, new brake calipers, master cylinder, brake booster and brakes. The interior was dyed where it could be and replaced where needed. The seats are Corbeau Racing seats and 3-point harnesses (The current owner has the original seats but they need to be rebuilt no belts). The battery cover lid is broken and needs replacement as well. The odometer stopped working recently. The speedometer and tachometer are operational. The dash pad is in fair condition. It has some tears where the speakers are.

The body was stripped down to the bare fiberglass before painting. The front clip of the car was replaced and has a solid nose cone vice the soft original style. This modification also ended up removing some of the metal supports located in the front end. (The current owner has taken photos to try and capture what was done). The T-Tops leak as most do. There is some paint wear around the headlights. (The stops need some repair) the vacuum system is intact and the lights are operational. There is also a paint chip on the top of the driver’s door. The windows are operational as are the locks. The windshield wipers work, but the linkages require new bushings. The blades are not original to the 1973 and the wiper doors aren’t there. The washer also doesn’t work. Overall, this is a very solid and great looking Corvette with reasonable reserve.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award

Tue, Nov 17 2015

It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.
