A possible "One of one" 1964 Corvette Coupe. One of the rarest air conditioned cars ever made. This is possibly the only car built the with rare option combination. 365hp cars with a/c are rare, but then throw in that this one is one of 552 cars built with transistorized ignition and you have a super rare car. This car was built Silver Blue with dark blue interior. Car retains most all of its interior. Light roll over in the early 70s, this car was never repaired, so it is a very original car Due to this, the car still has the original engine, transmission and rear end. The car also has the TI box and distributor. The dash has never been out of the car and retains all of the air conditioning equipment and duct work. I took this car to the frame shop and found out that not only is it straight, the frame guy stated that it is the best old car frame he has seen in 20 years! He said there are no bends, jack marks, or any rust other than very light surface rust. The bird cage has very little to no rust and the side glasses are in good condition. Other than the obvious fiberglass body parts, bumpers and emblems the only parts that I know of that are missing are the front and rear glass, cylinder heads, carburator and alternator. I am sure there are other small parts missing, however, these are most likely things that would be replaced in a restoration anyway. I also have parts for the car that are included that aren't pictured such as the headlight assemblies with original motors. This car will be an easy restoration because almost all of the parts are there and the damage done in the accident was mostly fiberglass. I purchased this car to restore for myself but because customer cars come first I am offering it up for sale as is. We are a full service corvette shop and can do all or part of the work to bring this car back to as new condition. You can check out our website to see the quality of work we perform at www.nuvintagecorvettes.com. The car is being sold as is, however, we have all of the high quality Sermersheim fiberglass parts in stock as well as complete Al Knoch interior parts needed to restore this car that can be sold seperately to the winning bidder (installed or not). Buy this 64 now and have it completed in time for the 60th anniversary reunion at Corvettes at Carlisle in August 2014! If you want a 64 in your midyear collection or desire an especially rare midyear corvette, then jump on this one! It's highly unlikely that you will find another 64 this rare with these options. Please feel free to email with any questions you may have. I want all bidders to feel as confident as I do as to the originality of this car. Good luck and happy bidding!

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
