1985 Iroc-Z convertible 2 seater. It was converted by Auto Form when the car was new. It has a hard rear lid that covers the area over where the back seats were. It has a 350 TPI engine that was swapped in at some point. It looks like a factory engine install and they also installed all the right emblems for the 5.7 engine. The soft top is attached to the factory hard top and has an apron that snaps top the deck lid. It doesn't have any rot, some surface rust by the passenger side door handle. It does have a dent on the driver side rear panel that is in one of the pics. The nose cone has a groove across it diagonally. It looks like a guide wire from a telephone pole. I know the guy who had it before my slid off the road in a snow storm and I would guess this is from that. No damage to anything structurally, but looks cosemetic on the plastic and a small puck on the hood, also shown in a picture. It needs the bushings in the rear suspension replaced because when you put it in reverse the control arms bang up sometimes. The engine could use a tune up, but starts and runs good. It needs the valve cover gaskets replaced from sitting. Runs and drives, but wouldn't advise planning on driving it far until it is gone though mechanically. I have had it for 12 years and have stored it for the past ten. I would expect to restore the car, but it could be driven with some work. It also needs the steering column rebuilt. The tilt mechanism is loose and I had it tightened up when I first got the car. One of only 500 converted by Auto Form. Looks like the batmobile with the top down. Just too many projects, so this one is going. I do reserve the right to end the auction early as it is also listed locally.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
