Many other high quality Corvettes and GM muscle are also being sold - so check the other items. Car breaks down as follows: 19437 Corvette Coupe: $5653.25 FACTORY AND DEALER INSTALLED
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: TOTAL INSTALLED OPTIONS: $1676.35 Manufactured at GM’s St Louis Missouri assembly plant and then trucked across town to St Louis Missouri based Fields Chevrolet, this ’72 Corvette has benefitted from one single frame up restoration throughout its entire 42 year existence. During the top notch restoration, the car received its one-and-only repaint of GMs striking code 989 War Bonnet paint that has been well-maintained, and presents an extremely glossy shine. Unlike a lot of classic Vettes, this car has not been over-restored which means it still displays factory correct panel gaps, and its fiberglass body fits together exactly the way it would’ve when leaving the showroom in 1972. The result is an ace Corvette with an awesome, flat finish that is virtually free of ripples and waves. 1972 was the last year for chrome front bumpers on the Corvette, and this cars original bumper is in very good condition and presents a great shine. Below that bumper, great looking original stainless grilles house original marker lights and sit above a subtle black chin spoiler that follows the lines of the car’s front fenders. Above the bumper, an original fiberglass hood features painted black stripes that border correct “LT-1” callouts and sit in front of pristine chrome accents. At the back of the hood, original stainless windshield trim has been buffed to a great looking shine and connects to stainless trimmed T-tops which also wear striking War Bonnet yellow paint. At the sides of the car, chrome trimmed fender louvers sit above dent free stainless rocker trim and complement great looking original stainless mirrors and door handles. At the back of the car, a chrome factory luggage rack sits above four traditional stainless trimmed Corvette tail lights that are divided by centered “Corvette” lettering. Below the tail lights, two more razor blade style original bumpers sit above chrome trimmed exhaust outlets that house square stainless exhaust tips. Tilt the hood on this glowing Corvette and you’ll find a numbers matching, top option LT-1 V8 that was fully rebuilt to factory specifications during the cars restoration. Equipped with solid lifters and a high performance camshaft, this hot 350 produces 9:1 compression ratio and cool 255 net horsepower (or, for you traditionalists, 330 gross horsepower) At the top of the motor, a chrome open element air filter sends air into a correct, exclusive to 1972 Holley 4 barrel carburetor. Below that carburetor, a correct Winter aluminum intake sits between the cars original finned aluminum valve covers. Below those valve covers, the engine block has been bathed in correct Chevy Orange paint and is border by correct ram horn cast iron exhaust manifolds that show hardly any rust. At the back of the motor a correct distributor sits under a chrome shield, and at the front of the motor you’ll find the cars original Frigidaire AC compressor sandwiched between fresh hoses and fresh V-belts. With a smooth coat of satin black paint, the car’s engine bay presents well and features a rebuilt master cylinder and power brake booster and a correct radiator and fan shroud. Take one look underneath this car and you’ll see that it has been highly maintained and treated well its entire life. Exceptionally clean, the frame is devoid of the typical amount of scrape marks and dents you’d expect after almost four decades of road time, and the solid fiberglass floors appear to have never been hit or repaired. Behind the engine, a hardcore M21 Muncie 4-speed sends power to a Posi-traction rear end that houses tall for 1972 3.36 gears. The close ratio transmission slips easily through the gears and when combined with the cars standard power steering and power disc brakes, it makes for a quick, great driving car that might even surprise a few drivers in modern performance machines. Holding the car off the ground is a road ready original double A-arm front and solid independent rear suspension that houses a traditional transversely mounted leaf spring. Exhaust is handled by a low restriction factory style true dual system that features two factory replacement mufflers just ahead of stainless tips at the rear of the car. Putting the power to the pavement is four 15 inch steel rally wheels that are glued to 215/70 BF Goodrich T/A radials and wear pristine silver paint behind turbine style center caps and stainless trim rings. Slip into the cars heavily optioned all original code 421 Saddle interior and settle into one of the comfortable leather covered bucket seats. Well broken in, but not showing major signs of wear, these seats still contain their original frames, houses original foams and feature original headrest inserts. Below the seats, the cars clean and stain free saddle carpet runs from under the dash to the lighted cargo area and creates an awesome 70s feel. On the doors, original saddle colored panels feature great looking stainless trim and wood appliques above chrome handles and correct chrome twist locks. In front of the driver, the cars straight and crack free dash houses crystal clear gauges next to an AM/FM cassette player with a digital tuner and a correct passenger’s side map pocket. Power flows from that AM/FM cassette deck through a Pioneer amp mounted in the cars jack well to hidden Pyle speakers in the cargo area. Below the dash, the cars original saddle console houses rotary controls for the cars rare air conditioning system, a chrome Hurst shifter with a marbled shift knob and buttons for the cars optional power windows. In front of the driver, a correct black rimmed and satin spoked steering wheel features a correct C3 crossed flags horn button. This car comes with pretty extensive documentation that includes: copies of the original window sticker, the cars tank stickers, an owner history, a recent appraisal, receipts from the restoration, reference material about the car and both old and new pictures which include detailed photos of the cars 1972 LT-1 350 Holley carburetor. This is a numbers-matching LT-1 Corvette with factory air conditioning and War Bonnet Yellow paint is a rare, well documented car that’s ready to drive home today for less than the price of a frame-off restoration. |

2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible gets cleaner looks, improved refinement [UPDATE]
Wed, Jun 24 2015UPDATE: We have live photos from the reveal. Scroll to the bottom of the story and check them out in the Related Gallery. Back in May, Chevrolet introduced a redesigned Camaro. Now, and not at all surprisingly, the Bowtie brand is showing off the latest Camaro convertible, based on the coupe that debuted on Belle Isle in Detroit. From the beltline down, this is the same car that was so well-received last month. But above the waist, there's an all-new, fully automatic canvas roof that can be raised and lowered at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. On top of that, owners will be able to drop the roof remotely by simply pressing a button on the key. Chevy does not, however, say if this new convertible roof is lighter than last year's top. The biggest change for the Camaro convertible, though, is something we've long yearned for – a proper hard tonneau cover that deploys over the folded roof. The current muscle car's roof fabric has the unpleasant tendency to flap in the breeze. The new droptop shouldn't have that problem, and will likely boast an even cleaner top-down profile to boot. Like the hardtop, though, the Camaro convertible does benefit from the same lightweight structure, that helps trim "at least" 200 pounds of body fat. It should also make use of the same powertrain lineup, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, and a 6.2-liter V8 with six-speed manuals or eight-speed automatic transmissions spanning the lineup. "From the beginning, the Camaro's architecture was developed to incorporate a convertible with uncompromised driving dynamics," Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser said in the attached release. "Customers will appreciate what they don't feel: quivers, cowl shake or an under-damped chassis typically found in a four-seat convertible." Increased refinement, a cleaner look, better driving dynamics and a more usable convertible roof? We're looking forward to you 2016 Camaro convertible. Chevy claims the new car arrives in "early 2016," which means we should plan on seeing this droptop at the typically cold and snowy Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the full press release from Chevrolet.

New Toyota Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado/Canyon fight for midsize truck dominance
Sun, May 28 2023Sam Wedll has been driving his Toyota Tacoma pickup on the rugged roads of Northern California for seven trouble-free years, racking up almost 100,000 miles, so he’s interested in the redesigned version of the truck coming later this year. He paid $34,000 for his truck in 2016, loading it with plenty of options. HeÂ’s eyeing the new gas-electric hybrid Toyota Motor Corp. is going to offer, but Wedll, who does his own repairs, isnÂ’t interested in paying luxury prices. “The hybrid is pretty interesting to me because I like the idea of the fuel efficiency,” says Wedll, 47, a casino operations manager in Blue Lake, California. “IÂ’m just trying to save some costs wherever possible.” The Tacoma, known as the Taco to its legions of loyalists, is the leader of the pack in midsize pickups, one of the fastest-growing auto markets of the past decade. With outdoorsy weekend warriors and do-it-yourselfers looking for a truck that could fit in their garage, sales of midsize pickups more than doubled from 2010 to 2020. General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., which abandoned the market segment when sales slowed early this century, returned with new trucks to take on the Tacoma, which has dominated the medium truck market for almost two decades. Although it's easy to predict that the most lushly appointed versions of the new Taco could approach $50,000 (prices wonÂ’t be announced until later this year), Toyota insists it isnÂ’t backing away from budget buyers even as it rolls out fancier trucks. The current Tacoma starts at $28,030, and the company says affordability is critical to its success. In fact, Toyota will continue to offer the Taco with an old-school stick shift. The Tacoma controls 42% of the midsize truck market and outsells FordÂ’s offering 4 to 1. ThatÂ’s a role reversal from the full-size pickup market, where FordÂ’s F-Series has ruled the road for 46 years. Tacoma sales in the U.S. surpassed 237,000 last year, more than twice the number of GMÂ’s No. 2-ranked Chevrolet Colorado, according to consultant LMC Automotive. But as growth in the overall segment slows, the midsize market is developing into more of a turf war, with manufacturers vying for the sweetest highest-margin spots. “This segment is likely past its prime growth spurt,” says Jeff Schuster, president of the Americas for LMC Automotive.
2021 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon fuel economy and towing capacities go official
Wed, May 6 2020Most of the puzzle pieces have fallen into place with GM’s new full-size SUVs, but today we have fuel economy and towing to add to the picture. Numbers for the standard 5.3-liter V8 and upgrade 6.2-liter V8 are out, but GM has held back on the 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six for the time being. Those numbers are most likely not ready yet. Minor improvements and decreases are seen throughout the Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon/Yukon XL lineup. Because there are so many variants, weÂ’re going to just lay them out below for you. 5.3-liter V8 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 2WD: 16/20/18 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 4WD: 16/20/18 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 2WD: 16/20/18 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 4WD: 15/19/17 6.2-liter V8 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 2WD: 15/20/17 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 4WD: 14/19/16 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 2WD: 15/20/17 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 4WD: 14/19/16 As you can see, there isnÂ’t a whole lot of difference between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options. You can eke out an extra mpg here and there, but itÂ’s a penalty weÂ’d be happy to live with to have four-wheel traction. The biggest loser in all of this is highway mpg. Chevy has made the trucks bigger and added weight with the independent rear suspension, causing a decrease in fuel economy. For example, a 2020 Tahoe with the 6.2-liter V8 and four-wheel drive is rated at 14/22/17. The 2021 truck drops 3 mpg on the highway and 1 mpg in the combined rating. There are improvements to be found, though. A 2020 Suburban with the 5.3-liter V8 and four-wheel drive is rated 14/21/16. Fuel economy in the city goes up 1 mpg, but you lose 2 mpg on the highway and 1 mpg in the combined rating. ThereÂ’s a bit of give and take here, but at least a slight increase in city mpg has accompanied the greater loss in highway fuel economy. 2021-chevy-tahoe-chicago-01 View 12 Photos As for towing, the Tahoe/Yukon with the 5.3-liter V8 and two-wheel drive has a new 7,900-pound capacity, and the four-wheel drive model is rated at 7,700 pounds. Respectively, those are the best figures youÂ’ll get with the standard towing capacity. Opt for the maximum towing package, and the Tahoe/Yukon capacities go up to 8,400 pounds (two-wheel drive) and 8,200 pounds (four-wheel drive). The numbers all take slight cuts when you go for the 6.2-liter V8. Both the Suburban and Yukon XL offer similar or identical towing figures as their shorter counterparts do.
