1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible on 2040-cars
Seminole, Florida, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email: wiltonwmmacbeth@ukphotographers.com .This car was found in Sarasota, Florida owned by a young man that really did not know the cars worth. Either that,
or he knew the cars condition was very "ruff" and needed a lot of "attention". As Extreme Motorcar of Tampa, Inc.
began the complete disassembly, they found that the "attention" the car needed was a lot more than "ruff". The good
news was, that this was a true survivor car and had never been abused , raced or modified in any way. Every
original part was there. Incredible. 40 years old and never been modified.!! What a FIND !!
Needless to say, she was completely disassembled and the body removed. No expense was spared in putting her back
together to her original glory...and then some. The paint and interior were designed by car designer, RobertBruce.
The result was a corvette built so well, you will find it extremely difficult to find another car that has
perfected body lines and a fit and finish that will rival the finest cars of today. Visit Extrememotorcar com for
a complete photo documentation of her build, from start to finish. You will be amazed !
The car was originally Donnybrooke Green over tan. According to my NCRS book, 1970 was the only year for that
color. But the color was very popular. Matter of fact , the most popular color sold that year. The 1970 was
available with 454 cubic inch engines. There were three engines available for the 1970 Corvette:
350 ci 350 hp base engine (L46)
454 ci 390 (LS5)
350 ci 370 hp (LT1)
11 Exterior colors were available (Paint code in parenthesis):
Classic White (972)
Monza Red (974)
Marlboro Maroon (975)
Mulsanne Blue (976)
Bridgehamptone Blue (979)
Donnybrooke Green (982)
Daytona Yellow (984)
Cortez Silver (986)
Ontario Orange (991)
Laguna Gray (992)
Corvette Bronze (993)
The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette replaced the 4 side gills with an egg-crate vents on the side. The fenders were flared
slightly to keep rocks from being kicked up and scratching the paint. The seats were redesigned again, this time to
create more headroom. 1970 enlarged the "Big Block" (known as the Rat motor) to its largest displacement at 454 ci.
. The relatively low production in 1970 was caused by a labor dispute that started in May of 1969. This dispute
caused the 1969 production run to be stretched 4 months and the 1970 run to be cut short. Just 6648 convertible
1970 Vettes were made. This made the 1970 Convertible one of the lowest production vettes ever.
This is a highly collectible car. Fun to drive, show and and enjoy. I will assure you , she draws a crowd where
ever you take her.

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans
Tue, Apr 30 2019According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
