This is an original factory Super Sport Nova with the L79 option. The block casting number is (3858180) which is the correct time period for this application. These particular engines were produced between 1965-66 at the Tonawanda N.Y. engine plant. They were built in various horsepower configurations, but Chevrolet records indicate that starting in March of 1966 these models were either 275 hp or 350hp. This engine has a date code stamped on the block which shows it was produced at the Tonawanda N.Y facility on March 27th 1966. It's kinda cool that the stamp code (TO327HC) and the engine production date and cubic inch are the same (327). All of the larger horsepower applications were fitted with 12 bolt differentials, posi trac rear ends and multi leaf springs as this car is. The engine has the correct double hump heads, larger valves plus a low mount alternator. The headers and entire exhaust system has recently been ceramic coated with flow masters and electric exhaust dumps. The car has a muncie close ratio 4 spd trans with a factory console. Upgraded instrument panel, Rosewood steering wheel, Bucket seats, Deluxe interior with appearance package group and disc brakes. The car sports its original front suspension, drive line and rear differential of which all were gone through at the time of restoration including replacing both left and right rear quarter fenders. The trunk and floor pans are solid. This car has not been cut or modified in any way that would detract from its appearance or value. The car has been stored in a climate controlled garage on a sealed concrete floor. The restoration was completed in approximately 2001 and the car has about 1500 miles on it. The only upgrade that I would recommend if you chose to drive the car long distances would be a 5 speed. Let's all remember this is not a new car and although it has been professionally restored it wasn't perfect the day it left the factory. That being said the car is very, very nice and has been a pride and joy to own. It has been an award winner at virtually every car show I've attended. Rest assured whomever buys the car could not build or restore this car for anywhere near the selling price. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. You are welcome to make an appt and drive/fly to Tulsa to inspect the vehicle. I will try and accommodate you anyway possible! The car requires nothing to enjoy - just turn the key and go!

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.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
