1969 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Buckhead, Georgia, United States
This is my 1969 Chevrolet Corvette with all matching numbers engine, transmission and rear end. It's an extremely original car that retains all of what was installed at the factory with the exception of what needed to be replaced for drivability and safety. Interestingly, up until the time I bought it, this car has spent all 46 years of it's life with the first two owners within a few miles of the original selling dealership. The original owner special ordered it in January 1969, received it in April and kept it for the next 41 years! The odometer is currently showing 32,905 miles and after thoroughly going over the car, I believe it to be correct. Everything seems to be in good working order and even all the factory installed glass is still present. It was ordered with the following options according to the tank sticker: 427 CI - 390 HP Turbo Jet V8, 4-speed close ratio transmission, posi-traction 3:36 rear end, tilt-telescopic steering wheel, soft ray tinted glass, rear window defroster, F70-15 red stripe tires, special wheel covers, front fender louvers with trim, AM/FM radio in Fathom green with black interior.
I have the original window sticker ($5729.05 MSRP), protecto plate, warranty papers, owner’s manual, key number knock outs (rare), special order receipt with the $100 deposit check, paid in full delivery bill of sale receipt and the canceled check for the remaining balance of $5249.85 dated April 3, 1969. The original owner drove it approximately 18,343 miles up until late 1974 when he parked it in his furniture warehouse only to be taken out occasionally. He only added about 11,254 more miles over the next 15 years when the car needed a new AC Delco carburetor (I have the one that was removed) installed August 2,1989 with 29,597 miles. The points and condenser were also replaced. The gas tank developed a leak and was replaced with a new one March 26, 1990. I have the original tank with the infamous broadcast sheet still attached! New Firestone F70-15 red stripe bias ply tires were installed June 13, 1990 (still on the car with no signs of dry rot). Four new brake calipers with stainless piston sleeves were installed June 25, 1996 (I have the original calipers). The exhaust pipes are stainless steel and both mufflers were replaced with OE style from "Corvette Central" June 22, 2011. This year, the distributor cap, rotor button and spark plugs were replaced. The car starts, runs, drives very well.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
