I AQUIRED THIS CAR WITH THE ATENTION OF RESTORING IT TO ITS FORMER GLORY.  I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO CAR SHOWS AND DRIVING IT AROUND.  IT SAT IN A BARN SINCE 2001.  A FRIEND OF THE FAMILY BOUGHT IT AND STARTED TO RESTORE IT BUT PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY AND HIS WIFE JUST LET IT SIT IN THERE BARN FOR 14 YEARS.  SO I BOUGHT IT DRAINED THE GAS AND PUT A BATTERY IN IT AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP.  IT SMOKES SOMETIMES WHEN IT IDELS BUT NOT WHEN DRIVING.  IT HAS A SMALL FRONT SEAL TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT I CAN SEE FROM THE SPOT IN MY DRIVEWAY.  I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO THATS ALL I CAN TELL YOU OTHER THEN THERE ARE SOME RUST SPOTS STARTING TO COME OUT OF PAINT. IT WAS REPAINTED AROUND 2000 TO THE COLOR SCHEME IT IS NOW.  THERE IS SOME RUST UNDERNEATH THAT I CAN SEE BUT LIKE I SAID I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS OTHER THEN THE OCCASIONAL SMOKING.  I PUT SEAT COVERS ON ALL THE SEATS SO THEY LOOK NEW THE SEATS UNDERNEATH ARE NOT THAT BAD JUST A FEW RIPS AND TEARS BUT THE SEAT COVERS WORK GREAT.  THIS ALREADY STARTED RESTORE CAR IS A GUD RESTORE PROJECT FOR A CAR GUY TO FINISH NOT SOMEONE LIKE  ME.  ITS FUN TO DRIVE AND EVERYONE ASKS ABOUT IT EVERYWHERE I DRIVE IT. I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE BEST I CAN.  PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE CAR IS 40+ YEARS OLD AND NEEDS RESTORED THE PHOTOS FROM MY EXPERIENCE ALWAYS LOOK BETTER. THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN TWO DAYS AGO SO THEY ARE CURRENT LIKE I SAID THERE ARE LITTLE SPOTS OF RUST POPPING THROUGH THE PAINT ITS HARD TO SEE FROM THE PHOTOS. I LIKE TO BE UP FRONT AND DONT WANT ANYONE DISAPPOINTED. THANKS

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
