1973 Corvette Convertible Factory Red With Black Leather L82 Rare Car No Reserve on 2040-cars
Soda Springs, Idaho, United States
Here it is a Factory Red L82 Corvette Convertible with Black Leather Interior!! Super Rare!! Being Sold At No Reserve!! My employment has changed and it has forced me to part with my toys. I purchased this car from Seattle last spring and drove it down HWY 101 down into California and back to Idaho. It drives and runs fantastic. This car is a factory L82 350ci 4 speed that runs, shifts and drives great. I do not believe that it is the original engine. The engine is built right and has tons of power. The exterior needs paint. It looks great at 15 feet but has noticeable flaws as you get closer. The interior looks to be original and is in nice drivers condition. It could use a nice cleaning and the door panels could use a little attention. I have new carpets for the bottoms of the door panels. The seats have no tears. All of the guages, heater, wipers, lights, etc.. work great other than the tach will require a new cable and the drivers side headlight is slow to come up and sometimes requires help. The top is original and is in new condition. The top is a manual top and works great. The car originally came with the removable hard top but was not available when I purchased the car. The car still has its original rally rims and the tires are newer and have 90% tread left. This car is very fun and looks great. Please let me know if you would like any pics or if you have any questions. VIN, paint, and trim info Below

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
