1969 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
US $11,039.00
Year:1969
Mileage:15551
Color:
Location:
Sparks, Nevada, United States
Check out this former show car built by the legendary customizer Larry Watson! This Corvette only has 15,551
original miles! This one has won many awards and trophies at car shows in the early 1970's! This car was known as
"Chetah" during its hey-day around the Southern California area!
This Corvette was purchased brand new on September 12th,1969 at Bob Keefer Chevrolet in Santa Monica,California for
the daughter of a businessman from Bellflower,CA and then was taken to the legendary customizer Larry Watson in
Hollywood,California for custom body modifications,paint and interior .He is one of the most well known crafters
along with George Barris and Von Dutch for automobile customization. The customization included L88 hood,wheel
flares,side scallops,tail lamps,5 spoke Gold painted American Racing wheels plus the rear wing is Plymouth
Superbird inspired.The pink exterior and interior was chosen by her to replace the factory Riverside Gold and
Saddle Vinyl interior. The stock 350 was then removed by Connell Chevrolet in Costa Mesa and replaced by a L88 454
where that motor remained for approximately 3 years. She later found the L88 engine to be way too powerful and was
subsequently removed and replaced in 1973 with a stock 454.
This Corvette was then sold in 1978 and remained in California until 2001 and went to Mesa,Colorado for a period of
time.They then moved to Las Vegas,Nevada where I found it in a backyard, where it has been for approximately 10
years.After much research,I spoke with the original owner and she verified the information listed.She was saddened
to hear about the car being left outside.
We rescued the Corvette and replaced the fuel tank and sending unit,replaced the battery and completed a oil
change.It does run and drive but I recommend a restoration of this rare car. The vintage Goodyear tires are from
1993 and hold air but not are not roadworthy.The options include factory A/C,tilt steering wheel,power windows and
cruise control plus AM-FM stereo.It also has power steering and power disc brakes.All of the factory gauges
including the clock work! The horn,windshield wipers and the T3 headlamps all work correctly.It does retain all
factory smog equipment.The vinyl interior and thick shag carpeting are in excellent condition.The glass and chrome
trim look great also! This vehicle does deserve to be restored back to its former glory.
Included with the vehicle are the mint original owner's manual,Protecto-plate with warranty book,delivery
envelope

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode
Fri, Apr 17 2015MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
