1968 Chevy Carryall Suburban on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
Engine:Inline six
Drive Type: 2wd
Model: Suburban
Mileage: 999,999
Trim: C20
1968 Chevy Carryall (Suburban) 3/4-ton three-door with barn doors in the back. Inline six (250?) with SM420 four-speed manual. This must have been a city fleet truck when new, as it is factory orange (been repainted once, a little darker than original) with rubber floor mats and no options. No power steering, no power brakes, no A/C--nothing. It runs and drives well, with a decent running engine, good clutch, good brakes, tracks straight, and the trans does not pop out of gear. It's geared low and doesn't like more than 65 mph on the highway; drive it faster and the engine starts to push oil out of the valve cover. It obviously has late-model wheels on it, and the tires are ok. Someone painted the interior brown a long time ago. I put a '72 bench seat in the front (when I got it it had the random bucket seats you can see in the back) and it's blue so it does not match. There's no rear seat at all. Some of the window cranks are missing, and some of the buttons on the outside door handles are hinky. The body is pretty rough, with small to medium dents on every panel. There's rust at the bottom of the rear quarters and a little in the rockers, but I've seen way worse. The wood in the bed is not rotted anywhere. The driver door has been replaced (note it's the only part of the truck with trim above the beltline), but matches surprisingly well. Basically, this thing is a fantastic beater. It would not be worth a huge resto project, but as a rat it's pretty cool. I'd slam it and take it to El Mirage and Bonneville as a push truck if I didn't need to thin the fleet.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
