Chevrolet Corvette Lt-1 on 2040-cars
Fox Lake, Wisconsin, United States
1972 Steel Cities Gray LT-1 convertible. Numbers matching engine and transmission. In ’72 only 405 LT-1 convertibles were built and only 11.4% of all corvettes that year were Steel Cities Gray. This car is in very good shape and runs excellent. The car was treated to a frame off restoration in the late 90's and has only been driven in good weather since. The engine has been rebuilt to factory specs and produces and unbelievable rumble as it idles. I bought it in 2007, had it shipped here and it passed the Wisconsin emission test. Lights, gauges, clock, radio, turn signals, etc… all work. It is not a concourse car its more of a driver. Some changes from standard are as follows; 1) Updated suspension components including a mono spring in the rear 2) New carb, original one is included. 3) Hurst shifter, original one is also included. 4) Hood stripe should be white. 5) 4.11 rear end 6) The smog stuff is gone 7) Leather seats, light weight high torque starter, tires, etc.. The black vinyl hard top is included but could use some restoration. I’ll include a new set of weather stripping for the hard top. A 3-ring binder documenting the previous owners (including copies of titles) and work done is included. Several other things to note; 1) The speedometer runs fast due to the nonstandard rear gears. 2) There are a few small dings which must have occurred when previous owners were adding or removing the hardtop. I only had the hardtop on for a few weeks and have only used the convertible top since.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
