1973 Chevrolet Corvette L-48

 

Take a look at this beautiful 1973 Chevrolet Corvette brought to you by CARuso Classic Cars.  

The 350 engine was rebuilt about 8K ago. It was bored 0.030-inch over. TRW pistons and rings were used. Crane cam, lifters and timing set were used (0.450-inch lift and duration cam).  All new Clevite bearings were used. The connecting rods were replaced with stock shot peened rods. The crankshaft is original and the block is a 2 bolt main bearing design. The distributor is an original design with tack drive. Current Owner has installed electronic components in it. The intake and carburetor are Edelbrock. The carburetor is a 650 CFM. The heads are a GM 194 and were rebuilt when the engine was. The engine numbers are matching for the car and as far as current owner knows it is the original block. 

The transmission is a Turbo 400 Automatic and it was replaced with a rebuilt unit when the engine was overhauled.

This car has had the following work completed during the rebuild: Rear trailing arms , new brake lines, new fuel lines and sending unit, new brake calipers, master cylinder, brake booster and brakes. The interior was dyed where it could be and replaced where needed. The seats are Corbeau Racing seats and 3-point harnesses (The current owner has the original seats but they need to be rebuilt no belts). The battery cover lid is broken and needs replacement as well. The odometer stopped working recently. The speedometer and tachometer are operational. The dash pad is in fair condition. It has some tears where the speakers are.

The body was stripped down to the bare fiberglass before painting. The front clip of the car was replaced and has a solid nose cone vice the soft original style. This modification also ended up removing some of the metal supports located in the front end. (The current owner has taken photos to try and capture what was done).  The T-Tops leak as most do. There is some paint wear around the headlights. (The stops need some repair) the vacuum system is intact and the lights are operational. There is also a paint chip on the top of the driver’s door. The windows are operational as are the locks. The windshield wipers work, but the linkages require new bushings. The blades are not original to the 1973 and the wiper doors aren’t there. The washer also doesn’t work.    Overall, this is a very solid and great looking Corvette with reasonable reserve.

GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras

Fri, Apr 15 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
