One of the 6339 Corvettes built in 1957. Lots of them listed for $80-$100+ grand, several junkers at 20K. Here's one honest Vette at a realistic price. Chrome and stainless is very good. All lights and signals work. Gauges all work except clock. Heater blower not working, need to check fuze. T-3 headlights. Radial shocks and tires, rides decent for solid axle. Bushings on front end replaced. Not pretty underneath, but solid, no Swiss cheese. I have owned this car for over 50 years. I was told by the person I bought it from that the first owner was employed by GM Styling. In the mid-60's while working on the interior, I found a business card taped upside down under the passenger seat. Still have it. The name on the card is , I assume from what I was told by the 2nd owner, (58-63) was the original owner his uncle, who worked for GM Styling. He bought a new one in 58, (of coarse, new dual headlights) . When I bought it in late 1963, it was white with silver cove, red/white interior red trunk and wheels. 220 HP/Powerglide. The drivetrain was then changed to the latest, 327cu in. with dbl hump heads, 30/30 cam, Hedman Headers, Wilcap light flywheel, with Borg Warner Close ratio 4 speed transmission, topped off with a Hurst Shifter. And also an aluminum bell housing.The injection system is from a 1962 model. (As is trans). The paint was done in 1969, so it shows its age and spider cracks & etc. In the mid 60's, it rolled into a house next door and sustained some damage to the rear. It was repaired carefully, but some places after 50 years show. Valve covers gaskets need replacing, leaks a bit. Steering box also leaks a bit. The transmission will sometimes "slip" out of 2nd gear on deceleration, so I just hold it in gear when down shifting. Needs a good tuning, valve adjustment, etc. But still runs great! If you are used to modern disk brakes, you won't like these at high speeds. The original radiator leaks, so I've knocked off $1000 from my original reserve. If it doesn't sell soon, I will replace it and adjust my price upward. Rear end, shocks, bushings & etc were redone a while back, but not many miles ago, so in great shape. I don't want to over sell this car, it is not a number 1 Fuel Injected trailer queen, however I don't want to sell it short either. It always turns heads wherever it goes. 10 years ago I thought I would do a refurbish with paint & interior, but time has caught up with me. (I'm 74 years old) I think it's time to let someone else take care of it. It's a car that could be restored original or just refurbed and driven. The engine and transmission would be worth a good bit by themselves, F/I's are pushing over 10K. The original hubcaps and etc. are included. Extras include filter and manuals.

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024

Tue, Jan 23 2024

What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions. Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.

2020 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled due to faulty brake component

Wed, Mar 11 2020

General Motors is recalling 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups to fix a defect in the trucks' brake system. Certain Silverado and Sierra pickups were produced with brake-caliper bolts that were not heat-treated. Without heat-treating, the bolts are weaker than they should be, and there is a risk that they could fail, which would affect the trucks' braking performance, possibly leading to a crash. In total, 20,352 vehicles are affected. Owners of affected trucks will be contacted by GM. Dealers will inspect the bolts and replace those that are defective. Related Video:
