Halstad, Minnesota, United States

Numbers matching 1972 Corvette Stingray, one of few original Pewter silver color code, 350 Base Original Engine
blueprinted to perfection (350/350 hp) by Zeke's Automotive Performance Shop. This Stingray still retains its
original alternator and point system distributor. I think this is one of 617 built with the three speed THM 400.
Production date February 14, 1972 (Valentine's Day). Production Plant, St. Louis, MO. I could go on with the engine
specs, but it would be too long. I could email relevant documentation. Yes, I am sure that the sticker tank is
still intact, because the tank is original and never was manipulated. Stainless Steel calipers, stops on a dime,
poly bushings everywhere, front and rear as well. Yes I have the original valve covers in a box.
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, rear window defroster,3 point seat belts, pop out back window.
American Racing Appliance Rims. Original radio (AM/FM push button} is still where the factory installed It along
with factory speakers. It used to work, then it just stopped getting a reception, never tried to see what the
problem was.
I have owned this car since 1985, it has always been garage kept. Never winter driven by me or the second owner
(Kept in a heated garage). Second owner (an older man) lived nearby, he purchased it from a fellow co-worker ,in
1977 (the original owner).
Please keep in mind that this car is 43 years old plus. Carpets are deteriorating in the front area; carpets in
cargo area are ok. Passenger seat is in very good condition; however driver’s seat may need some re-stitching. To
my knowledge car has the original paint with blemishes. Paint is also fading away (especially hood) and chipping
away on the tailgate. I was never able to find a competent shop to repaint this car and have left it to the next
owner to handle it. Basically what you see is what you get, nothing hidden by mediocre paint job.
Car has BF Goodrich tires that have 95+% thread but they have been on the car since 1989, Even though they are in
showroom condition, no cracks nor dry, I think they should be replaced.
Brand new Dyno-Max performance exhaust system that was sitting in boxes for years (discontinued) was finally
installed last year from headers to tail pipe (complete). This car gets a fresh oil and filter change every spring
even though I have only been putting a little over 100 miles every summer in the past few years.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
