1982 - Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Homestead, Florida, United States
1982 Corvette with 66k original miles. $15,000 OBO. The crossfire system was getting tired and hard to find people to work on so I had the car converted over to an edelbrock performance carburated system. The horsepower used to be 200 and is now over 300 making it a much faster and better running car than the worthless crossfire system. Lots of low end grunt. The car has brand new black paint (3 coats of base and 2 coats of clear). List of improvements Aamco of Fort Walton Beach, FL rebuilt transmission to a solid 700R4 removing the old electronic overdrive and making operate like any other carburated car. It literally has 10 miles on it. Warranteed for another 11 months. I used steel braided trans cooler lines New Al Knoch interior about 2 years old, also Replaced steering wheel, but have original. Tires have about 4000 miles on them. New battery with 3 year warranty. Replaced the fully functional crossfire system and kept ALL wiring harness and other items in place. Still have orig. manifold. These can go with the car. Went with Edelbrock Performer manifold with 600cfm edelbrock carb with electric choke 8mm spark plug wires and platinum bosch plugs. HEI Distributor specifically designed for this swap from Ecklers Corvettes (most parts were from Ecklers. Chrome accent HI FLOW open top air cleaner Chrome valve covers 180 degree thermostat with chrome housing. Steel braided heater hose All new vacuum lines throughout the car. New water pump mallory fuel pressure regulator (to reduce pressure from electric fuel pump in tank) new seals and gaskets and hoses throughout new suspension bushings around New Magnaflow performance exhaust - NO CATS (not super loud, just solid rumble and great revved sound.) New u-joints and had the driveshaft balance checked to make sure. I kept the entire bottom end of the engine stock and unaltered as it was in great shape and has 150+ compression in each cylinder. With only 66k miles it has probably got a long life left, but it had NO power with crossfire....Now it thumps and has solid muscle car torque and sound thru the magnaflow exhaust. Easy tire burning if you want to spin them. Brand new windshield, new weather stripping, new rear view mirror and lots of other new stuff. Issues: The A/C worked when I bought the car, but I took it apart during the rebuild and never hooked it back up. I have all of the parts (only the condensing coil is out of the car). This was just a cruising fair weather car for me and I always had the T-tops off and windows down. It is cheap to get factory A/C working if desired....way more fun to have it open air. I've never messed with the radio...It is stock and I'm not sure if it works or not, I like the engine/exhaust sound when driving these olds cars. I kept a buttload of receipts (over $8k new parts) and almost every old part and bracket that was still usable including the original exhaust and the original crossfire manifold. This was a great project car for me and is now a reliable very good condition 1982 corvette ready for long cruises, car shows or even daily driving.

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.
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin 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.
