Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Wadesville, Indiana, United States
1967 Corvette Convertible, real deal 427 big block car, in nice dry storage for many many years. Originally optioned with 427-390HP, automatic, side pipes, power brakes and was a radio delete model, crazy group of options! The automatic was removed years ago and converted to a 4-speed, the car was clearly an automatic car originally based on the engine stamp, and the PG designation written on the rear bulkhead. The original automatic radiator is still present with the integral transmission cooler fittings on the passenger side tank. Check out the engine stamp pad, sure looks authentic to me. Originally a Sunfire Yellow car with standard black vinyl interior as indicated by the trim tag, this car suffered some driver side damage years ago and was repaired in the 80's. It appears that the left front park light panel, left door, left rear fender, left lock pillar, and decklid were replaced. The left lower side fender louvers show some minor repair evidence from the back side, but does not appear to have been replaced. The replacement door is a real one year only 67 door with the lock control knob in the proper location. The body lines appear to be very nice, gaps are nice, hood and headlight fit is very good. Headlight buckets still retain 3 original T3 bulbs, and the dated motors have been removed, cleaned and lubed and ready to install. The car has received a set of stainless sleeved calipers and rebuilt master cylinder in recent years along with the rubber brake line hoses. The engine runs and sounds great, drives and stops. Frame is very solid, only minor rust, picture of front suspension shows typical surface rust flecks for an unrestored 50 year old car. Sorry, no tank sticker, gas tank has been replaced, sure, I wish it had one too!! So, why am I selling this big block Corvette?? I have way to many irons in the fire and other projects that I need to get completed ahead of this one. No, it is not a fire sale, if it doesn't meet my reserve, I will keep it stashed away until I do have time to get it done. This is probably the most complete, original big block project that is a super easy restoration, or just a quick paint job, minor maintenance, and cleaning for a daily driver. I am timing this auction to coincide with Bloomington Gold at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on June 25-27 since this car is located within 2 hours of the show. I will deliver it to the show free of charge, and the car will be available for inspection the week of the show. I strongly suggest personal inspection or hire a knowledgeable inspector. I am representing this car based on what I see and my personal opinion. There are plenty of very knowledgeable Corvette folks located within a couple of hours from the car. Send your experts to look at this car and let them tell you their opinion. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason, the car is for sale via other channels as well. I have set a reasonable reserve for this desirable 67 Big Block Corvette Convertible. Selling in "as-is" condition, do your homework and inspections, I can provide additional pictures.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
