1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray on 2040-cars
Halstad, Minnesota, United States
Numbers matching 1972 Corvette Stingray, one of few original Pewter silver color code, 350 Base Original Engine
blueprinted to perfection (350/350 hp) by Zeke's Automotive Performance Shop. This Stingray still retains its
original alternator and point system distributor. I think this is one of 617 built with the three speed THM 400.
Production date February 14, 1972 (Valentine's Day). Production Plant, St. Louis, MO. I could go on with the engine
specs, but it would be too long. I could email relevant documentation. Yes, I am sure that the sticker tank is
still intact, because the tank is original and never was manipulated. Stainless Steel calipers, stops on a dime,
poly bushings everywhere, front and rear as well. Yes I have the original valve covers in a box.
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, rear window defroster,3 point seat belts, pop out back window.
American Racing Appliance Rims. Original radio (AM/FM push button} is still where the factory installed It along
with factory speakers. It used to work, then it just stopped getting a reception, never tried to see what the
problem was.
I have owned this car since 1985, it has always been garage kept. Never winter driven by me or the second owner
(Kept in a heated garage). Second owner (an older man) lived nearby, he purchased it from a fellow co-worker ,in
1977 (the original owner).
Please keep in mind that this car is 43 years old plus. Carpets are deteriorating in the front area; carpets in
cargo area are ok. Passenger seat is in very good condition; however driver’s seat may need some re-stitching. To
my knowledge car has the original paint with blemishes. Paint is also fading away (especially hood) and chipping
away on the tailgate. I was never able to find a competent shop to repaint this car and have left it to the next
owner to handle it. Basically what you see is what you get, nothing hidden by mediocre paint job.
Car has BF Goodrich tires that have 95+% thread but they have been on the car since 1989, Even though they are in
showroom condition, no cracks nor dry, I think they should be replaced.
Brand new Dyno-Max performance exhaust system that was sitting in boxes for years (discontinued) was finally
installed last year from headers to tail pipe (complete). This car gets a fresh oil and filter change every spring
even though I have only been putting a little over 100 miles every summer in the past few years.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
