Chevrolet Corvette 2 Door Roadster on 2040-cars
Maryville, Tennessee, United States
One of the 6339 Corvettes built in 1957. Lots of them listed for $80-$100+ grand, several junkers at 20K. Here's one honest Vette at a realistic price. Chrome and stainless is very good. All lights and signals work. Gauges all work except clock. Heater blower not working, need to check fuze. T-3 headlights. Radial shocks and tires, rides decent for solid axle. Bushings on front end replaced. Not pretty underneath, but solid, no Swiss cheese. I have owned this car for over 50 years. I was told by the person I bought it from that the first owner was employed by GM Styling. In the mid-60's while working on the interior, I found a business card taped upside down under the passenger seat. Still have it. The name on the card is , I assume from what I was told by the 2nd owner, (58-63) was the original owner his uncle, who worked for GM Styling. He bought a new one in 58, (of coarse, new dual headlights) . When I bought it in late 1963, it was white with silver cove, red/white interior red trunk and wheels. 220 HP/Powerglide. The drivetrain was then changed to the latest, 327cu in. with dbl hump heads, 30/30 cam, Hedman Headers, Wilcap light flywheel, with Borg Warner Close ratio 4 speed transmission, topped off with a Hurst Shifter. And also an aluminum bell housing.The injection system is from a 1962 model. (As is trans). The paint was done in 1969, so it shows its age and spider cracks & etc. In the mid 60's, it rolled into a house next door and sustained some damage to the rear. It was repaired carefully, but some places after 50 years show. Valve covers gaskets need replacing, leaks a bit. Steering box also leaks a bit. The transmission will sometimes "slip" out of 2nd gear on deceleration, so I just hold it in gear when down shifting. Needs a good tuning, valve adjustment, etc. But still runs great! If you are used to modern disk brakes, you won't like these at high speeds. The original radiator leaks, so I've knocked off $1000 from my original reserve. If it doesn't sell soon, I will replace it and adjust my price upward. Rear end, shocks, bushings & etc were redone a while back, but not many miles ago, so in great shape. I don't want to over sell this car, it is not a number 1 Fuel Injected trailer queen, however I don't want to sell it short either. It always turns heads wherever it goes. 10 years ago I thought I would do a refurbish with paint & interior, but time has caught up with me. (I'm 74 years old) I think it's time to let someone else take care of it. It's a car that could be restored original or just refurbed and driven. The engine and transmission would be worth a good bit by themselves, F/I's are pushing over 10K. The original hubcaps and etc. are included. Extras include filter and manuals.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy teases Bolt driving range, China pursues EV subsidy cheaters
Tue, Sep 13 2016Chevy is teasing the Bolt's driving range, which it is set to reveal on Tuesday. It will certainly be able to travel more than 200 miles between charges, but the second and third digits in that value, as it stands today, are still question marks. On its Facebook page, Chevrolet is asking fans to try to guess the official range. Of course, Tesla fans have already started posting their own snide remarks in the comments. Chevy fans are certainly hoping to see the Bolt's range eclipse that of Tesla's upcoming Model 3, which the California-based automaker puts at 215 miles. See Chevy's post on Facebook to make your own guess, or check back there (or here at AutoblogGreen) for the official number once it is unveiled. Fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden says it has signed an agreement with a Chinese company to make range extenders for commercial trucks. The unnamed Chinese customer has placed an order and signed a memorandum of understanding with PowerCell Sweden, and the partners will develop methanol reformer fuel cell range extenders for electric distribution trucks. "Our unique expertise in fuel cells and reformer technology is receiving an increasing attention worldwide and we are truly pleased to get another Chinese order," says PowerCell Sweden Sales Director Andreas Boden. Read more at Green Car Congress, or from PowerCell. China is accusing major automakers of violating EV subsidy rules. After the country's Ministry of Finance penalized five companies with fines and, in one case, revocation of production license for subsidy cheats, China has since named 20 more potential violators, including Nissan, Hyundai, JAC, and a subsidiary of BYD. Of the first five companies to be punished under the investigation, Suzhou Gemsea Coach Manufacturing is having its production license revoked, while four others, including a subsidiary of Chery, are being fined for about half of the subsidies received. The scandal is bad new for China's subsidy program, which has helped spur sales of plug-in vehicles. Read more from Fortune, or at Hybrid Cars.
Six-week production shutdown planned for 2016 Chevy Volt
Thu, Apr 9 2015It's no surprise that GM is winding down production of the first-gen Chevy Volt as it prepares to start building the second-gen for a launch in the second half of this year, but for now, things are proceeding as planned, according to Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho. Malcho told AutoblogGreen that GM "is still making first generation Volt" and that there has been no announcement about when that will change. The only details she would divulge is that, "It will be this summer." "Halting Chevrolet Volt production in anticipation of the all-new 2016 model year is a smart move for GM," Akshay Anand, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, said in a statement. "[The move] allows for less inventory and incentives on the outgoing model. Hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle sales have been declining for some time now, with gas prices well below the summer prices of 2014." Volt production will cease in the weeks before the traditional two-week auto plant shutdown over the July 4 holiday. A high inventory of Volts is a factor in the production cuts, but not the only one, Malcho said. The plant construction, engineering changes and pre-production plans for the new Volt and CT6 all were part of the decision, she said. Nationwide, there is about a 200-day supply of Volts on dealer lots (roughly 100 days in California, the car's biggest market), according to the Detroit Free Press, which says there will be a six-week retooling period (twice as long as normal, but other sources say the shutdown will be four weeks long) at GM's Hamtramck plant this summer to get ready for the second-gen model. The 2016 Volt will get an increase in all-electric range to 50 miles and will then get 41 miles per gallon when the battery runs out. It also has a fifth seat that straddles the battery tunnel and a larger li-ion battery. Related Video: The AP contributed to this report.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
