1959 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Pepin, Wisconsin, United States
More infos regarding my car at: pearle.weigl@chewiemail.com .
For sale is a very clean 1959 Corvette. This is an excellent DRIVER Quality car. The frame and complete underside
of the car , as well as the body are all EXCELLENT ! Frame has ZERO issues or rot, please see photos. Body is
straight and ALL wheel opening edges as well as rocker edges are extremely clean. The frame is simply awesome.
Either the car had a very nice restoration when painted with lacquer roughly 20+ years ago, or it was an extremely
clean survivor. It was purchased by the prior owner in Florida, and I suspect this has been a southern car for many
years. The paint is in good condition in most areas with the worst spots being across the center of the hood and
front fenders being hazy from checking aged lacquer paint. There is also a spot in the center of the hood where
it's obvious someone years ago installed a carburetor stud that was too tall, and created a spider web in the
paint. Its a true five footer, and from that distance the car looks incredible with very rich and deep glossy
paint. You could just paint the hood and upper fenders to get by for another ten years. All Chrome and trim is
correct and present and in very nice shape as well. The car includes a very nice hardtop as well as a near new
white soft top, albeit probably 20-ish years old. Interior is very nice with some sun fade to the exposed carpet
pieces (car spent almost the last 20 years with the top down) and a few spots of discoloration to the door panels.
All else is excellent. The engine is a NON-original but era correct 283 (Casting number is NOT for a Corvette) but
there is a correct un-bored short block local to me with the correct casting number for $300.00. Generator still
present, the car fires right up and runs smooth and quiet. The transmission is a four speed, and I have no idea if
it is correct. Rear end appears to be original. Shifts and goes down the road well. ALL Gauges work as does the
aftermarket Cassette player, the only non-stock style accessory. Wheels were just added, rims are NOT date code
correct for the car and the hub caps are very nice quality NEW reproductions. Tires are older and should be
replaced with some correct wide whites. Custom Ultra wheels (as seen in one photo) were added years ago, and will
be included if Buy it now is used should you want them, and your carrier will take them.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Tue, Apr 28 2020Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24. The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series. Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz.      View this post on Instagram          Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

How easy is it to rebuild a Chevy small block V8?
Sat, Mar 21 2015Chevrolet's famous small block V8 stands as one of the workhorse engines in American auto history, with its variants going into vehicles from hot rods to pickup trucks. But do you know that you can fully disassemble and completely restore one of these mills in just under four minutes? Well, as long as there's some assistance from time-lapse photography, that is. Hagerty created this short clip showing a dirt-covered small block turning from a frog into a prince. Thankfully, the time-lapse doesn't speed the process up too much, and it's still easy to see how all of the principal parts fit together. With all sorts of sensors and software helping to drive the modern automobile, viewing the internal combustion engine in its purely mechanical form is still fascinating. Related Video:
