1972 Chevrolet Corvette Lt1 on 2040-cars
Hillsboro, Illinois, United States
Feel free to email: haroldhmmugleston@swindonfans.com .
Up for sale is our 1972 LT1 corvette. The drivetrain is untouched aside from the clutch being replaced at one
point. It has a heavier feel than stock. The car is origionally a California titled car(we have a copy of the
origional title) but it's been in Illinois for the last 35or so years. We are the 3rd owner of the car which we
painted in 2001 due to the typical bonding seam issues and checked paint. My father purchased the car in 2001 with
34k miles on it and and collectively only put 2500 miles on it in that time. Aside from the paint the repairs to
the car are as follows. New brake calipers, master cylinder, New fuel tank ( the tank sticker was not there), new
heater core, new delco water pump ( we have the origional), new seat covers, new seat foam and new carpet. My
father passed in 2007 and we've made it a point to drive it from time to time to keep get new fuel in it every
year. The car runs and drives great Any questions feel free to ask.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
