 Up for auction is a 1976 Orange Flame Corvette Coupe. The owner of this great car has owned it since 2009. Prior to that, my best friend owned it. He has had it since 2006. The paint code is 70 (Orange Flame). Interior code is L,64V=Bu. The car is numbers matching. The only thing on this car that was added, was the luggage rack. A few years ago, the paint was freshened up, and holds a great shine.

 I have been taking this Corvette to car shows for the past 3 years, while my 74 Corvette is being restored. It won a lot of awards.

 The Good about the car. Never has been wrecked or rebuilt. It's a little better then a surviver condition. Tires have over 80% of tread on them. Frame is not rusted any where, and the bird cage is in great conditon. Like I said, I have known this car since 2006, and can verify anything since then. Rear brakes were just put on last weekend, so it was ready for the Columbia, Missouri Corvette Show. New radiator, water pump, a arm bushings and seals. All bearings in trailing arms have been rebuilt 2 years ago. The ride is amazing!!!

 The bad (to me). The headers needs to be replaced with stock manifolds. Exhaust pipe needs to be reduced back to 2 and a half inch. (now 3"). To me, the sound is just a bit too much. There is an oil leak from the rear of the engine. Most likely the rear main seal needs replaced. And some one who knows all about vacum lines to carb, to idel better. It runs great, lots of tourque, but at low speeds, seems to be a little rough. This Corvette sits in storage most of the year. It needs to be driven and shown off.

 The interior is very straight. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 9.5 or better. New carpet 3 years ago, with new floor matts. The paint condition is a 9.2. There a are couple of places where it needs to be touched up, but wont see them til you look real close. door and hood alignment is perfect. Even the head lights work like they should.

 The gentelman that owns this car now is selling 2 of his 3 corvettes. Another 76,  but it is red with black interior. He is in his mid 70's and is finding it a bit too much to keep up with these cars.

  Transporation is up to buyer, and there is no implied warrenty. I believe he or I will help locate transportaion if needed, but it will be up to the winning bidder. If there are any questions about what I may have missed, just e-mail me, and I will respond as quickly as possible. This Corvette is located in Fulton, Missouri, and if, at any time, can be inspected by you, by making arrangements.

 Thank you for taking time and intrest in this fine 76 Corvette Coupe. Happy Bidding.

I have made a mistake. This is an L-82, NOT an L-88. I am very sorry for this misunderstanding on my part.

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network

Wed, Jul 26 2023

A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not.  "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche.  In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure.  "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
