1966 Chevrolet Corvette Big-Block Convertible
This could be yours. A legend from a time when our cars were inspired by passion and reflected the independent spirit of America. The classic 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray big-block convertible. In Rally Red, of course.
These second generation Corvettes (1963-1967) are widely regarded as the greatest Corvettes ever made – and near the top of any list of the 100 greatest cars of all time (where most have Italian names and 7-figure price tags). Unbridled power. Stunningly attractive.
Automatic transmission? Heavens no. Four on the floor and a sturdy clutch connect this massive engine to the road. And you’re at the controls – the real driving experience. You’ll get used to the attention and questions wherever you go – unless you step on the gas and leave them behind. This is simply one of the most powerful cars ever made.
Largely unrestored, examples like this are getting harder to find. This ain’t no trailer queen – she’s meant to be driven. So experience the passion yourself and you’ll forget all those other cars.
Go ahead now…put the top down. The convertible Corvette experience will make you feel years younger. You’re driving a real piece of the American experience. In addition to the remarkably clean white soft top, she even comes with the hard-to-find matching hard top. Either way, you’ll feel the heads turning wherever you go.
4-wheel power disc brakes. Rare power windows. The unmistakable “stinger” hood found exclusively on the big-blocks. The ‘66 roadster is arguably the most beautiful Corvette ever made, and not often found in this price range. Buy this car and drive it - you’ll never get tired of the compliments.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
