Chevrolet 1960 Corvette Roadster (scta Custom Hot Rat Rod) on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
1960 Corvette 283 cu. in. 230 hp. Borg Warner 4 spd. with correct linkage and two tops. This car has been owned by the same lady for the past 49 years. It under went a frame off restoration in the late 90's. The 283 engine was rebuilt, though not the original, it is a 519 casting dated Dec. 1959. It also received a new clutch, new gas tank and stainless steel exhaust system. The complete chassis was restored using new or rebuilt parts. A set of 5 BF Goodrich bias ply 670/15 tires on original wheels were installed. The interior is completely new including seat skins, carpets, door panels, window seals and dash pad. The hard top received new side windows, headliner and rubber seals. The white convertible top was replaced and the frame rebuilt but has since received a tear caused by being pinched in the top frame. The Wonderbar radio does not work. All of the original gauges work properly, the tach is a little bouncy. The engine now has a new Edelbrock 500 cfm carburetor but the WCFB carb goes with the car. The car has only been driven about 690 miles in the past 15 years. The Edelbrock was more forgiving over long periods of non use. The Roman Red lacquer paint, also 15 plus years old, shines beautifully but has a few chips and shows some paint crazing and shrinkage. All chrome was re-plated. This car shows very well and could be driven with pride for many more years as is. It runs, drives and shifts great and is extremely tight and rattle free.

Autoblog Podcast #327:
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?
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
