1973 Corvette Stingray with T-Tops and 350 V8.

The color is Mille Miglia Red, Black interior. Miles are approximately 75,000. Condition overall is clean and very good. Super strong driver, reliable starter, good performer, great looker. This is the last of the chrome bumper Corvettes--classic, rare and harder and harder to find, especially in such good condition.

Rims and tires are brand new, and really fit the wheel wells just right. Engine is the 350V8, 3-spd automatic, power steering, power windows, power brakes, A/C (which is currently disconnected, but could probably be reattached pretty easily), AM/FM CD with JBL Corvette speaker system, sounds great and fits the car perfectly. New headlight motors and mechanism (that was about $1200), new fiberglass front end bumper (replaces cheap OEM plastic unit that shrinks and fades over time) new gas tank, recent stainless steel exhaust with beautifully tuned exhaust note, Edelbrock intake, Weber 4-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock chrome air cleaner. The engine is very strong and starts right away, even if it's been sitting a while.

I would not call this a numbers-matching car, because I don't think the engine is the original, but it is the correct type of 350 V8. The car has great T-tops (Usually on C3's they leak, but I siliconed the weatherstipping and made sure the connections are all tight, so they really don't leak anywhere that I can tell. I checked the other day with a hose, and no leaks) easy to take off and put on. There are a few nice chrome upgrades under the hood. Suspension is tight, no rattles, doors close without the typical C3 rattles, very solid and fast and fun to drive. If you're looking for a muscle car experience, a fast and fun C3 that gets a ton of heads turning, your search has paid off--you have found it.

Seats are in great shape, door panels great--check the pix. Overall the interior is very nice--just like you see. Not concourse perfect, but very nice and not disappointing in any way. Paint is gorgeous, perfect color. All the gauges work, even the clock. The beautiful chrome bumpers are in very nice condition overall. Steering is precise and feels wonderful. The visors are not present, but they would get in the way of the view anyway, so most folks remove them. Very fun to drive! It's tight and accurate and really makes other cars feel wallowy and disconnected. Carves those corners, and pounds those straightaways.

Many say this is the best year for the Corvette C3--this is the only year that they had the color matched front bumper, without the ugly black rubber blocks on it, and the cool abbreviated rear end with the split chrome bumper. The following year they went to a totally different back end that stuck out funny and in many ways ruined the lines of a true classic, and they got rid of all the chrome. Then they went on to ruin the front end with those distracting and ugly blocks I mentioned previously. Larry Shinoda, the designer for the Corvette during the 70s, says that the 1973 Stingray Coupe is the designers' favorite year, as it's the one that's the closest to their original vision and concept. I believe it, it's as good as anything Pininfarina ever put out of Italy, and it's Made in the USA.

This is the year they added the side-impact bar in the doors--previous versions did not have it and neither rider will take a side hit very well at all without it. This the year they made the hood have that very cool center rise (for the rear air induction), which gives it so much sex appeal and muscle. Plus, this is the first year they got rid of the troublesome wiper doors mechanism that plagued owners with problems for so long. 1973 is the first year they flared out the wheel wells--earlier models suffered terrible chipping from rocks thrown up by the tires. There is also a little more ''trunk'' space in the '73 than in 68-72 models. This is the first year without the ''egg crates'' they had on previous years in the side scoops--the smooth '73 scoops seem to fit the car much better and don't break up the flowing lines like the others did. The color is spectacular. The photos really do not do it justice. I hope you think like I do that it's the absolute perfect color for this car.

IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving

Tue, Oct 11 2022

WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise Â— two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention Â— reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.

2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696

Fri, Sep 17 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
