You're looking at my mostly original 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray t-top coupe. This is a numbers matching, original engine Vette. This car is a great runner. It was originally a pewter silver color but was repainted torch red by previous owner of almost 30 years! The paint job looks good but is not show quality (5-10 footer, nice and shiny, a few flaws up close). The car is highly optioned with tilt/tele steering wheel, power brakes, power steering, power windows, deluxe interior with leather seats, shoulder belts, and factory A/C. This car is a driver, so there are a few little flaws here and there. Nothing detracts from the beauty of this car though! It has a great stance and sits just right (not all goofy and jacked up because someone didn't know how to install new leaf springs correctly). The side pipes make it look even more aggressive, and it sounds amazing! The rear exhaust outlets are still present so if one wants to convert back to stock, it can be done quite easily. The original deluxe black leather interior looks good, but again it is in driver condition.  The drivers seat cover has been replaced, passenger has not (looks fine, just not new). Carpets are decent. Door panels and dash are nice and original. All chrome is driver quality, again...original to the car. Again, this car has never been restored but it drives and looks good. The car is now sporting an LT-1 big block style hood, which definitely looks better than the stock small block hood (was swapped out when the car was painted red years ago). This has always been a Southern car and has no rust other than simple surface stuff which is normal for a 42 year old car. It has been garage kept all its life, and since 1984 (when the previous owner bought it with approximately 64,000 miles on it) it has only traveled an additional 16,000 miles +/- to it's current reading of 80,412.  I was told by the previous owner this is original and has not rolled over. I drive the car on weekends so that number may go up slightly. The car is very strong, and pulls through all gears very well. The 4 speed tranny feels great. Tires and brakes are all good. The pop up lights work as they should. The wiper door works intermittently (probably a small vacuum leak). Interior lights work, as well as key buzzer and parking brake. I have the original radio/amp as well as an owners manual. The t-tops don't rattle, and this year still has the pop out rear glass window. Overall this is a fantastic Corvette that just needs a new owner. Drive and enjoy and restore as you go along if you desire. It is great looking and gets thumbs up every time I take her out! She's faster than my 1970 300hp Vette! This is not a $30k show car, nor is it a $10k beater. This is a basically 2 owner Vette that is mostly original (minus the color change, hood and pipes). I am a private collector thinning my collection (per my wife's request) from 15 down to 11 currently...she'd like it be 6. So, this sweet ride must go. I'm selling at NO RESERVE, so the last bid wins the car. PLEASE have all your ducks in a row, finances in order, and permission from your wife, boss, priest, whomever BEFORE bidding and certainly before winning! The car MUST be paid in FULL than no later than 5 days after auction ends. You don't have to pick it up by then, but it MUST be paid for by then. PERIOD. I have had 2 bad experiences in the last month with bidders not paying for 2 other cars I sold. I'm over it. This is not a game. It costs ME time and money to keep relisting. It's an auction. You win, you bought it. Car is for sale locally so the auction could end at any time. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to make an offer. All sales are final, no refunds and no warranty is expressed or implied. This car is 41 years old. It is a great driver and will give you years of fun. If you want perfection, go spend $30-40k for a restored one. If you want killer looks, performance, and a blast to drive at a fraction of that...then buy mine. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Remember, this is a no reserve auction..so bid high and bid often. Last bid wins! Good luck!

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
