Chevrolet Corvette Lt-1 on 2040-cars
Fox Lake, Wisconsin, United States
1972 Steel Cities Gray LT-1 convertible. Numbers matching engine and transmission. In ’72 only 405 LT-1 convertibles were built and only 11.4% of all corvettes that year were Steel Cities Gray. This car is in very good shape and runs excellent. The car was treated to a frame off restoration in the late 90's and has only been driven in good weather since. The engine has been rebuilt to factory specs and produces and unbelievable rumble as it idles. I bought it in 2007, had it shipped here and it passed the Wisconsin emission test. Lights, gauges, clock, radio, turn signals, etc… all work. It is not a concourse car its more of a driver. Some changes from standard are as follows; 1) Updated suspension components including a mono spring in the rear 2) New carb, original one is included. 3) Hurst shifter, original one is also included. 4) Hood stripe should be white. 5) 4.11 rear end 6) The smog stuff is gone 7) Leather seats, light weight high torque starter, tires, etc.. The black vinyl hard top is included but could use some restoration. I’ll include a new set of weather stripping for the hard top. A 3-ring binder documenting the previous owners (including copies of titles) and work done is included. Several other things to note; 1) The speedometer runs fast due to the nonstandard rear gears. 2) There are a few small dings which must have occurred when previous owners were adding or removing the hardtop. I only had the hardtop on for a few weeks and have only used the convertible top since.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
