1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible on 2040-cars
Camden, New Jersey, United States
More infos regarding my car at: deanadeeastes@hairdressers.net .
Un-restored classic convertible. Perfect hassle-free collectible driver.
NO overheating, NO wiring issues, NO cold/hot starting issues, NO smoking, NO A/C or Heat.
Engine and transmission are numbers matching. Motor pulls strong and does not smoke or overheat even over 100mi
drives or local traffic. I use Mobil 1 (15w-50) motor oil as this has a high zinc content to minimize engine wear
- new owner can make his/her own choice but shows the engine can run fine with synthetic. No cold or hot starting
gremlins which is amazing for this vintage engine design. Two pumps and clutch in to start; depress half gas for
warm start per instructions.
While the paint is over 30 years old, this is a stunning 10' car. Fiber glass spiders and swirls visible under
full sun. Interior is respectable and tidy, but not showroom. This is a NY/NJ only driven car since 1964 so there
are moderate rust areas but all surface level as this car has not been restored.
All gauges work. All lights function- pop-up headlamp mechanism, side markers/tail/back up lights and dash
lighting.
I have original bill of sale and other period documents in 1964. I am the third owner, previous owner cared for
this car since early 80s as far as I know from fine auto dealer I acquired the car - The Stable Gladstone Peapack
NJ.
- Original hardtop included.
- Soft top is new- black.
- Freshly replaced oil and filter (original filter metal casing still on car!).
- Rear drum brake lines replaced; fluids flushed
- Spark plugs replaced November 2016
No known bodywork and so fiberglass join seams above wheels per factory standard.
Watch-outs:
- Paint is over 30 years old.
- Heater hose by-passed so no heat. Box was slightly leaking which could imply loose hose or needs full
replacement. This is not a winter car anyway, nor should it ever be one.
- Odometer does not work. Frozen at 51,600. The 70k declared mileage is based on previous owner estimation. This
is a very common c2 problem.
Let me know if you have any questions. The car is in NJ.
VIDEOS OF CAR STARTING AND (SPIRITED) DRIVING MODES:
There are three videos uploaded onto YouTube. Search under "Jose 1964 Corvette," and click the channel to see all
three videos.
- early morning start. High 40s and just rained. Condensation visible off tailpipe which disappeared after 5 secs
or so.
- joining highway
- acceleration after Stop sign

GM recalls half-million full-size SUVs to address seatbelt issue
Tue, Aug 16 2022GM is recalling its redesigned full-size SUV models to address improperly riveted mounts securing the third-row seatbelts that may fail in the event of an accident. The population includes the 2021-2022 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, 2021-2022 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and 2021-2022 model year GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, for a total of 484,155 vehicles. "Operators at the supplier’s manufacturing plant may have not properly followed manufacturing processes and inadvertently missed the rivet forming operation," GM said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In certain of these vehicles, the rivet that retains the buckle to the mounting bracket in the left or right side third-row seatbelt buckle assembly may not have been properly formed during the manufacturing process. If the third-row seatbelt assembly is not properly riveted, it may not properly restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury." Fortunately, the fix is relatively simple. GM service technicians will inspect the rivets on the rear seatbelt buckle assemblies and replace the entire unit if the rivets are not to spec. Dealer notifications have already been distributed; owners should receive notice start in September. Related video: Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Ownership Safety SUV
This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

2016 Chevy Volt rated at 106 MPGe, 53 miles of pure EV range
Tue, Aug 4 2015Following a string of rumors, Chevrolet and the Environmental Protection Agency have released official fuel economy numbers for the second-generation Volt. As was reported earlier today, the new and improved hybrid will cover 53 miles on pure electric power. As Chevy tells it, first-gen Volt owners cover about 80 percent of their mileage on EV power alone, so the 40-percent increase from the second-gen should lead to an even bigger reduction in gas-powered Volt mileage. Chevy expects some 90 percent of mileage to come from a plug with its new 2016 model. This newfound EV range comes thanks to the 2016 Volt's 18.4-kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery. Rated at 106 MPGe by the feds – exactly what was promised by a June leak – the 2016 Volt improves nicely on the current model's 17.1-kWh, 98-MPGe battery back. There's also a marked improvement when relying on the gas-powered on-board generator. The 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine will happily run on regular fuel and return a still-impressive 42 miles per gallon combined rating once the battery's state of charge is depleted. Expect the freeway to cruise to be even better, although Chevy isn't ready to say by how much. Fully charged and with a full tank, drivers should expect to cover 420 miles, a 40-mile improvement over the current model. Scroll down for the official press release from Chevrolet Related Video: The Results Are In: More Range for the 2016 Volt EPA-estimated pure electric range is 53 miles DETROIT – The 2016 Volt is engineered to offer customers more of what they want: range, range and more range. The Volt's all-new second-generation Voltec extended range electric propulsion system delivers 53 miles of pure EV range, based on EPA testing. That is nearly a 40-percent improvement over the first generation Volt. Chevrolet expects many next-generation Volt owners will use power solely from their battery for more than 90 percent of trips. Today, Volt owners use battery power on 80 percent of their trips. This means that the average Volt owner may expect to travel well over 1,000 miles between gas fill ups, if they charge regularly. For the first 53 miles, the Volt can drive gas and tailpipe-emissions free using a full charge of electricity stored in its new 18.4-kWh lithium-ion battery, which is rated at a combined 106 MPGe, or gasoline equivalent. When the Volt's battery runs low, a gas-powered generator seamlessly operates to extend the driving range for a total of 420 miles on a full tank.
