My 59 chevy is my absolute everyday car. Its a reliable fun car to drive everyday. living in Texas the temp easily gets in the 100's all the time. This car doesnt over heat and runs great all the time. This is the Biscayne model of the 59. It came with vinyl floors and manuel windows. This was an upgraded model that originally had the 235L6 with 3 on the tree and the rare Overdrive. I drove it this way for a while, then one buddy drives it and poof.... Motor was cooked. So now it has a SBC 350 V8 and a 700R4 as its powerhouse. This is a perfect set up for daily highway use. I live on a toll road and cruise 80mph to and from work every day. Shifter was moved to the floor with a nice B&M shifter. I wanted this car so my family and I could all ride together. So i had brackets for my kids car seats installed in the rear bench, so they can just click into place. All floors are solid and rear bench has minor tear from age. front seat is fine. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL inside. Because its a daily i had to have my tunes. I installed a Pioneer CD player with Bluetooth and ipod controls in the glovebox with speakers hidden under the dash and under the rear deck. Original radio still works but speaker is disconnected. I installed an IR repeater under the dash (hidden as well) so the glovebox doesnt have to be open to control the radio.
Installed a basic 2way paging alarm for security purposes. It has a static drop to the whole car. After tons of research about the X frames these cars were built on, most people recommended not buying the lowering springs, but cutting coils off originals. So coils were cut, with new shocks all the way around. Car floats down the highway. Driveshaft is a 2 piece set up and the carrier bearing is a beefy Billet heavy duty one. new brakes and lines. New Gas tank, All gauges work. Still has drums all the way around but stops great. Gets a whole lot of attention, and tons of remember when stories too. I had the dash striped at a show with colors to best match the paint. Its not really a show car in the condition it is now, but they sure do love it. This car didnt come with A/C but did however come with a strong factory fan and heater/defrost. Wipers work great as well. As a daily ive been in the cold the rain and hot summer days, which surprisingly this thing gets tons of air flow in the car even with the windows rolled up. Dent on passenger fender when i got it and i never got it fixed. All glass is good except for drivers window has a crack but still solid. I was shocked at how easy it is to find parts for these cars. Not expensive at all. 15" wheels all around and with Yokohama Vulcanized white walls. Hush flow exhaust gives it that nice V8 rumble but isnt obnoxious for your passengers. I HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THIS CAR THE BEST THAT I CAN IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME. I HAVE A VIDEO WALK AROUND AND TONS OF PICTURES AT YOUR REQUEST. LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT THOSE FINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
