1966 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Watsonville, California, United States
|
It is with some regret that I am putting my 1966 Corvette Stingray up for sale.
I bought this car from ProTeam Corvette in Napoleon OH in June of 1999. After driving it for a few years the original engine (matching # block) threw a rod. Instead of rebuilding the engine I put it on a engine stand and installed a new Chevy ZZ4 crate engine. I will ship the original engine and stand with the car. The ZZ4 engine is a 350 ci, 360 horsepower engine with aluminum heads. I don't recall what the torque is. The new brakes are upgrades from the original 4-wheel disc and will not loose brake pressure if stored for a while. I have also installed the following: Power steering with an aftermarket rack and pinion steering unit from Corvette America (I think it was Corvette America or Eklers) I was getting catalogs from them for years. Ceramic headers. Front Stabilizer bar. Large capacity radiator and fan. Everything on this car works but not perfectly. Headlights are a bit slow but will rotate. The radio and even the power antenna works although living in Santa Cruz CA. the reception is terrible. Door latches are a bit sticky. Interior is original as far as I can see. The car had a frame on restoration at ProTeam Corvette and was repainted. I have a dust cover for it but is only a inside cover, not waterproof. The car runs beautifully and other than a couple paint chips (tiny) is in excellent shape. The car shows no evidence of ever having been in an accident, the body shows no evidence of fiberglass repair or undercarriage damage. I have the steering parts, flywheel and an extra cam from the original engine. I do have a hard top for it but while it was painted when they did the restoration, it is scratched. I did this when I moved it from my shop to my garage. I never planned to put it back on anyway. I would like to pass this great car on to a good home, my time taking care of it is coming to an end. I'm 56 yrs old and have never abused or been out hot rodding in it, well maybe a little. I had the mechanic who has done all the work on it for the last 10-12 years go over everything that I wrote in this ad to verify the description and I just had it detailed and it really looks great. I have replaced or repaired everything on this car so all you need to do is enjoy it. The classic Corvette is a joy to drive, it sounds powerful and throaty, and it draws a crowd wherever I go.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
