BEAUTIFUL INDIAN IVORY OVER INDIGO BLUE 1954 chevrolet delray 210 2 door post automobile.......NEEDS AN ENGINE......this car came from the dry area of Utah. It was almost rust free. The only repair for rust was behind the rear wheels and below the trunk.  Paint is fantastic with no waves, dents etc except where I knocked a small amount of paint off of the bottom of the doors with a tow dolly. Interior is all new, very nice, new glass, passenger door glass has a scratch. All new weatherstripping. New headliner and new carpet but the carpet fit was not the best. I restored the car about two years ago. Installed a 70 chevy 283 with a 4 barrel rochester quadrajet, a turbo 350 trans and a 57 chevy rear end with 305 gears. Car ran and drove great. Bumpers were chromed, grille, tail lights etc are original, not perfect but very nice. It all fits better than the aftermarket stuff and is better quality.  The car recently developed a bad miss. A tear down exposed a broken valve. The cylinders have very little wear but have a few good size scratches and evidence of previous rust damage. The engine supposedly only had 30,000 miles on it but had set in an old farm truck for a lot of years.  Heads are the double hump  with the 202 valves. I pulled the engine with the plan of installing a GM crate 350 and then putting it up for sale. I have decided to offer it as is so the buyer can buy it cheaper and install the engine of his choice. If it doesn't meet my reserve I will put in a new 350.'   Just a few extras, true mileage unknown, I have extra indigo blue paint for touch up, dash is beautiful. Radio is face only for looks, does not work, electric wipers, tires have good tread but hoosier quit making street tires ten tears ago. Doors,hood, trunk alignment is very good. Original suspension, drum brakes.  The car is an automatic but column is a converted 3 speed stick shift that works great. I bought an aftermarket aotomatic shift indicator for the column but never installed it.  I will now TRY to upload pictures...my reserve is a secret. NO ENGINE IN THE CAR NOW. ENGINE NEEDS REBUILT IT IS INCLUDED IN THE SALE IF YOU WANT IT ALONG WITH MANIFOLD, CARB, WATERPUMP AND ALL THAT WAS BOLTED TO IT.

Forgot to add that I have pictures of the fenders, doors etc that show the rust free condition. I also forgot to add that I did have to repair a couple of the braces under the car that go from the frame to the body. They were solid but had small holes in them. They collect water and Utah sand.,the car does have all new rubber bushings between the frame and body.  Also all of the stainless is dent free except a small dent in the 6 inch long spear on the right front of the quarter panel. I have a replacement piece to go with this sale. I am sure I have forgotten something. Feel free to ask any questions. Even stupid one, I'm guilty of that sometimes.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
