1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray on 2040-cars
Felch, Michigan, United States
My 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Big Block LS5. This is a real "W" code big block car. Undertook a 2 year frame off
restoration completed in 2010 which included every nut and bolt on the vehicle, Engine is NOT numbers matching, it
is a replacement motor that was in the car when I bought it with Block Casting #3999289 which is a 72-73 454 Block,
Engine VIN is partial T0120TRH.
Heads are original C2872 casting date which is March 28, 1972.
Transmission is P1T30C and is original to the car.
Transmission is very tight and shifts very smoothly, has Hurst shifter in it.
M22 “Rock Crusher” close ratio. Muncie 4 speed heavy duty aluminum case.
Engine was rebuilt and was already bored .60 over so it now bored .70 over making this a 469 CI engine. Cam was
also upgraded during the rebuild, this is a very powerful engine.
The car has deluxe interior, factory air, power brakes, power steering. Every option available other than
tilt/tele steering column and power windows.
Upgraded Edelbrock Torker II manifold and Edelbrock carb, HEI distributor with MSD ignition. White face gauge
appliques, LED taillights. Otherwise the vehicle is stock. (I have the original manifold which goes with the car).
Vehicle is refinished in Ontario Orange, Only 3500 miles since completed. Vehicle runs perfectly, everything
works. It is a 10 year old restoration and has been driven, so there are a few small chips behind the rear tires,
there is a small crack where the right rear bumper bolt goes through the fiberglass body to hold the bumper on and
there are some very small paint bubbles on the rear spoiler area.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
