1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Conyers, Georgia, United States

I bought this car back in July,2009 and then began upgrading,repairing and replacing everything in the car other than the engine,as that had already been done before i bought the car. This car has been completely rebuilt. It needs nothing. The project was completed in Jan.,2014 with $92,250.00 having been spent. There has only been approximately 300 miles put on the car since it was completed. Put gas in the tank and drive it anywhere. This car is equipped with a factory original numbers matching 327 cu. in. / 300 h.p. engine that had been completely rebuilt shortly before i bought the car. Whoever rebuilt this engine knew exactly what they were doing,as this is a very strong engine. I replaced the 2-Speed Power Glide Transmission with the better 3-Speed Turbo Hydra Matic Auto. Trans. for much better drive ability and performance. At this time i had all (6) universal joints replaced,as well as all (4) shock absorbers replaced. I had the entire Air Conditioning system converted over to the newer R-134-A system from the old R-12 system. New "Sanden" A/C compressor,new condenser core with electric fan pushing air through the front of the condenser core. A cutoff valve installed that stops the follow of coolant running through the heater core for much better A/C cooling. Completely replaced the entire power steering system with all new components. Completely rebuilt the entire instrument cluster with new speedometer cable,new tachometer drive gear,new clock and installed all new "L.E.D." lights for much better visibility at night. New power window buttons. Completely rebuilt the entire cooling system starting with a nice big heavy duty "De Witt" aluminum radiator,a high performance water pump,a 6-blade direct drive fan replacing the original 5-blade clutch fan. You will NOT have any of the old cooling problems that Corvettes were so well known for. I also had the water jackets inside the engine block drained,cleaned and flushed before installing all of these nice new parts. I also installed nice new metallic hoses. The entire electrical system has been rebuilt with a new alternator,voltage regulator,battery and a new compact starter. All new fuel system including a Holley 4 bbl. carburetor with manual choke,Holley Fuel Pump and all new metallic fuel lines. All new "H.E.I." electronic ignition system complete with custom made "Taylor" ignition wires. All new power brake system complete with high performance stainless steel brake rotors for much cooler braking operation,a new power brake booster and master cylinder. Car has "Positraction" rear end with a rear end gear ratio of 3.08:1 replacing the 3.36:1 rear end gear ratio that came with the car. I found this to be much better for the air conditioning compressor to do a much better job of cooling at highway speeds. Replaced all old tail lights with the new "L.E.D." light bulbs. Making it much easier to be seen at night. Repaired headliner,installed new insulation and new carpet. Had windows tinted. Replaced a leaky exhaust manifold on the drivers side with a good factory original part.
Some of the factory options on this car include "Side Mounted Exhaust Pipes",Delco AM / FM push button radio with power antenna,"Day / Night" inside rearview mirror and i had installed a right hand side outside rearview mirror. This car also comes with "After Market" knock off wheels. These wheels ARE NOT factory original "Kelsey-Hayes" knock off wheels,but I think they look very nice. Also included with the car are a 1966 Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual,1964 & 1966 Corvette Owners Manual. Every part receipt and all of the documentation that I have. The spare tire is new and has never been on the ground. The 4-tires that are on the ground are relatively new,as they only have approximately 9,000 miles on them. These tires are B.F. Goodrich Premier Touring White Walls (215 70-R-15) and the spare is a B.F.Goodrich Touring Black Wall (205 70-R 15). Odometer reading at the time of this listing is 71,475. Car is being sold "AS IS". Thanks for looking. P.S. This is my "SHOW CAR" and has won 12 Plaques and Trophies. The plaques and trophies will go with the car. P.P.S. I'm sure it goes without saying,but "THIS CAR NEVER GETS DRIVEN IN THE RAIN"!!!!!!! It is garage kept in a climate controled garage,air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Anyone having any serious questions concerning my pride and joy please don't hesitate to ask and I will try to get back with you "A.S.A.P."! |

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
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.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
