Chevrolet Corvette Blue on 2040-cars
Bishop, Georgia, United States
I came across this car last week performing a home inspection on the property for a client. The Corvette was in the basement and had beensince 1993?? The pictures you will review are from the basement and back at my house. I did not wash it so the dust you see is 22 yearsof sitting in the basement. The interior of the car is in really good shape and appears it would only need carpet and the driver seat recovered.Dash pad has no cracks and door panels look good. This is a non air car and non power brakes. The car has power steering. I do believe the78,994 miles to be correct for the car. The title I have from 1986 the car had 47,586 and its listed on the title. Realize it was parked 7 Yearslater. The brakes are down from sitting so I have not driven but I added gas to the carburetor and the car cranked and ran. It is a matching number car.The original carb is not there and the original steering wheel. The car has an L88 hood on it as well. I do not see any rust on the frame or bird cageof the car. Probably sitting in a climate control basement for 22 years helped that a lot. The paint code is 987 which would be Ontario Orange.The trim code is 400 which is Black Vinyl. This a small block 350 with 4-speed manual trans. If any of you remember the band back in the early 70's named Banks and Shane this car belonged to the drummer for that band. He is the one that parked it in 1993. So if you looking to doa 72 Vette this would be a nice one to put back original condition. The original rally wheels are not here. The reserve is low for the car so good luck and thanks for looking. If you have any questions email or call me. ThanksMarty 404-502-2156

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When 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.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
