Up for auction is my 1972 Corvette Big Block 454 Convertible. This was an eight year restoration project that was completed October 2012. It has less than 500 miles on it since restoration. It has been driven to local car shows. This is a factory 454 car with the color options of white exterior and saddle tan interior. The car displays very nice and has won several trophies at local car shows. I have all documentation of the restoration process which includes receipts and pictures. New wiring harnesses and vacuum hoses were installed during restoration. Motor, transmission and rear end were rebuilt during restoration. All paint was stripped to fiberglass. No major repairs were required to fiberglass. Again, have photos of restoration process. The car drives and responds very nicely. Only non-factory options I added was the tan convertible top and cd player/speakers. All bushings, u-joints, etc, etc. were replace during restoration. A black vinyl hardtop and a new Corvette car cover goes with sale of vehicle. On a personal scale of 1-10, I would rate it at 8. I restored this car to enjoy, not to be a trailer queen, but it can be. Drop the top and enjoy driving, getting those thumb ups from people looking at it as you drive by. Purchase this car and drive it home if your not scared that someone may hit it. The list of items I did during the restoration is to long to list. Please ask questions prior to bidding. Call 910-262-8400 - 8:00am est - 8:00pm est - if you have questions or want make appointment to view vehicle. Serious inquiries only. This vehicle is listed locally, so I have the right to pull auction at any time. Clear NC title in hand. A non-refundable $1000 deposit is required within 48 hours end of auction. Full pay off required prior to vehicle being released. Local pick up only. Shipping provided by buyer. This vehicle is being sold as-is, no warranty and no refund. Thanks for interest.

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?
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
