1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray on 2040-cars
Halstad, Minnesota, United States
Numbers matching 1972 Corvette Stingray, one of few original Pewter silver color code, 350 Base Original Engine
blueprinted to perfection (350/350 hp) by Zeke's Automotive Performance Shop. This Stingray still retains its
original alternator and point system distributor. I think this is one of 617 built with the three speed THM 400.
Production date February 14, 1972 (Valentine's Day). Production Plant, St. Louis, MO. I could go on with the engine
specs, but it would be too long. I could email relevant documentation. Yes, I am sure that the sticker tank is
still intact, because the tank is original and never was manipulated. Stainless Steel calipers, stops on a dime,
poly bushings everywhere, front and rear as well. Yes I have the original valve covers in a box.
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, rear window defroster,3 point seat belts, pop out back window.
American Racing Appliance Rims. Original radio (AM/FM push button} is still where the factory installed It along
with factory speakers. It used to work, then it just stopped getting a reception, never tried to see what the
problem was.
I have owned this car since 1985, it has always been garage kept. Never winter driven by me or the second owner
(Kept in a heated garage). Second owner (an older man) lived nearby, he purchased it from a fellow co-worker ,in
1977 (the original owner).
Please keep in mind that this car is 43 years old plus. Carpets are deteriorating in the front area; carpets in
cargo area are ok. Passenger seat is in very good condition; however driver’s seat may need some re-stitching. To
my knowledge car has the original paint with blemishes. Paint is also fading away (especially hood) and chipping
away on the tailgate. I was never able to find a competent shop to repaint this car and have left it to the next
owner to handle it. Basically what you see is what you get, nothing hidden by mediocre paint job.
Car has BF Goodrich tires that have 95+% thread but they have been on the car since 1989, Even though they are in
showroom condition, no cracks nor dry, I think they should be replaced.
Brand new Dyno-Max performance exhaust system that was sitting in boxes for years (discontinued) was finally
installed last year from headers to tail pipe (complete). This car gets a fresh oil and filter change every spring
even though I have only been putting a little over 100 miles every summer in the past few years.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
