1982 Corvette with 66k original miles. $15,000 OBO. The crossfire system was getting tired and hard to find people to work on so I had the car converted over to an edelbrock performance carburated system. The horsepower used to be 200 and is now over 300 making it a much faster and better running car than the worthless crossfire system. Lots of low end grunt. The car has brand new black paint (3 coats of base and 2 coats of clear). List of improvements Aamco of Fort Walton Beach, FL rebuilt transmission to a solid 700R4 removing the old electronic overdrive and making operate like any other carburated car. It literally has 10 miles on it. Warranteed for another 11 months. I used steel braided trans cooler lines New Al Knoch interior about 2 years old, also Replaced steering wheel, but have original. Tires have about 4000 miles on them. New battery with 3 year warranty. Replaced the fully functional crossfire system and kept ALL wiring harness and other items in place. Still have orig. manifold. These can go with the car. Went with Edelbrock Performer manifold with 600cfm edelbrock carb with electric choke 8mm spark plug wires and platinum bosch plugs. HEI Distributor specifically designed for this swap from Ecklers Corvettes (most parts were from Ecklers. Chrome accent HI FLOW open top air cleaner Chrome valve covers 180 degree thermostat with chrome housing. Steel braided heater hose All new vacuum lines throughout the car. New water pump mallory fuel pressure regulator (to reduce pressure from electric fuel pump in tank) new seals and gaskets and hoses throughout new suspension bushings around New Magnaflow performance exhaust - NO CATS (not super loud, just solid rumble and great revved sound.) New u-joints and had the driveshaft balance checked to make sure. I kept the entire bottom end of the engine stock and unaltered as it was in great shape and has 150+ compression in each cylinder. With only 66k miles it has probably got a long life left, but it had NO power with crossfire....Now it thumps and has solid muscle car torque and sound thru the magnaflow exhaust. Easy tire burning if you want to spin them. Brand new windshield, new weather stripping, new rear view mirror and lots of other new stuff. Issues: The A/C worked when I bought the car, but I took it apart during the rebuild and never hooked it back up. I have all of the parts (only the condensing coil is out of the car). This was just a cruising fair weather car for me and I always had the T-tops off and windows down. It is cheap to get factory A/C working if desired....way more fun to have it open air. I've never messed with the radio...It is stock and I'm not sure if it works or not, I like the engine/exhaust sound when driving these olds cars. I kept a buttload of receipts (over $8k new parts) and almost every old part and bracket that was still usable including the original exhaust and the original crossfire manifold. This was a great project car for me and is now a reliable very good condition 1982 corvette ready for long cruises, car shows or even daily driving.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic Â— isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal. Â Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
