1969 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Fort Edward, New York, United States
Selling my 1969 Corvette 427 4 speed all matching numbers! This is an L36 model with the 427/390 hp. This car has
power steering and power brakes both which work flawless. Tilt/telescopic wheel and POSI rear. Entire brake system
was redone with new caliper, rotors, pads, and lines.
The block and heads are original. Bored .40 over, new pistons, connecting rods, polished crank, new bearings, double roller timing chain, oil pump, heads were ported polished and 3 angle valve job, double springs, COMP CAM 284 which sounds awesome through the factory side pipes!
One year 1969 option and they are in great shape and you can hear it from down the block.
While the engine was out all wiring was sorted through, a new clutch was also installed, flywheel and
throwout bearing and motor mounts. Muncie m20 Transmission seals replaced and gone through. This engine is better
than when it left the factory and still retains all the original numbers. I did fit a Holley 4 barrel for more
power and an electronic HEI system. A new radiator was also installed. The entire vacuum system was replaced
including completely new headlight assemblies, new actuators, new valves, relays, lines, switches, wiper actuator,
relay, and valves too. The entire vacuum system works and is brand new! The dash was removed and wiring sorted
through. At this time I was able to verify that there is no rust through out the bird cage, on any pillars, or
behind the dash. There is also no rust on the frame. Suspension has new sway bar end links and worn bushings were
replaced. A brand new battery was also installed. Paint is in good drivers shape with a few blemishes as can be
expected. T-tops in good shape as well as all glass. Seats were redone a few years ago and are in good shape with
no rips or tears. All gauges work except the clock. All lights work. Car is in great shape and ready to road trip
anywhere. Lots of power and very reliable considering everything is brand new.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
