1964 - Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Adelanto, California, United States
1964 Corvette Coupe L84 327 375HP PB, being sold without the fuel injection unit. Engine: It has a 327 fully rebuilt. Old parts used inside the engine are the crank, rods, block and heads. All other parts inside block were replaced. I built this engine to speck, solid cam (Duntov 30/30) factory hi compression pistons and all other needed bits & pieces. Outside the engine I used the original starter (date coded) Water Pump, Fuel Pump and deep sump oil pan. I had the engine rebuilt with a winters intake and holly carb. This combination dynode out at 375HP @6400 RPM. The modifications on this engine are, distributor changed to electric pickup, rocker arms upgraded and the valve studs changed to thread in units. I have a complete and restored fuel injection unit with K66 ignition that I was going to sell with this car, but changed my mind. If interested in this setup, email me. Transmission : 4 speed, M21 close ratio Rear : Was a 456 Posi rear. When I pulled it for a rebuild, I changed the ratio to 411. Fully rebuilt with under 200 miles on it. Suspension : I replaced the front sway bar end links, rear shocks, rear spring and end links. The tires have less than 1000 miles on them. Every thing else has unknown wear/miles on it. Body: It now has a good coat of silver on it, but it was dark blue (Daytona Blue) when it left the factory. The emblems are shinny, but have some paint loss. Sometime before I owned this car, someone had all the wheel wells flared out. When this was corrected back to a factory look, the job wasn't done so well. Although the paint is good, the body would be considered driver quality. Interior: Now black, the factory color was two tone, Dark Blue and White. The current seat covers are a little worn with slight rips on the upper inner sides of them. The carpet is a bit faded and the door panels look good. I had the steering collum rebuilt and the dash wiring harness replaced a while back. Misc : I had the engine harness replaced with the engine rebuild. I replaced the headlamp wiring to remedy a headlamp that wouldn't open properly. I replaced the alternator with a 130 amp unit. It really makes a difference on the brightness of the tail lamps. The license plates on the car have been updated to old black plates though the state DMV and come with the car. Runs/Drives: Starts up easy, idles well, runs good. Has Power brakes, stops good for 4 wheel drum brakes.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
