Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Roadster & Hardtop on 2040-cars
Helenville, Wisconsin, United States
1963 Corvette Stingray Convertible with soft and hardtop. This is the first time this car has been offered to the public. The last time this vehicle was licensed was in 1993 in Florida. Watch the video below of engine running and scroll down to see 250 photos documenting the vehicle condition. Please note that I am not a car dealer. This vehicle is from my private collection. I do not claim to be a Corvette expert. I obtained this car that came out of an estate located in Miami Beach, FL. The undercarriage is in excellent condition. Zero accidents nor ever any frame damage. Odometer reads 74,078 miles. Appears to have a 327/340HP motor in it (casting number 3783870). I cannot locate serial numbers on the front of the block, unless they are located somewhere I am not aware of. The car has a four speed Muncie transmission with a tight close ratio shifter (I did not try to locate any numbers on the trans). The original color appears to be red from the code on the body plate although I cannot locate any red paint anywhere on the car. The car runs and shifts excellent. The clock and Am/FM radio works. I have a copy of the original title showing the vehicle was transferred to the last owner in 1987. The plates on the rear shows vehicle registration expiration in 1993. Car runs excellent and will be an excellent driver with some minor repairs. I do not have time as I have too many projects. Overall this is a very nice original car that is extremely clean for being 52 years old. Try and find another in this condition for the price. Nice solid investment as Corvette values continue to rise. Overall the cars needs minor repairs to be a very nice driver:1) Needs brake lines (complete brake line kit from "Inline Tube" goes with the car). I have no time to install. Car will need to be towed.2) Spare tire is missing. The jack and wrench are intact.3) Soft top and rear plastic window needs cleaning4) Drivers seat has a minor tear on seam5) The paint is in driver quality with scratches and paint bubbling. The body is excellent overall. I cannot locate any prior accident repairs.6) Carpet is a faded, but in good driver condition7) The back glass in the hardtop has a crack in it8) The passenger door glass needs to be re installed in the track. Window goes up but tilts on the way down9) Left headlight does not go up with switch, appears to need grease New parts:1) Master cylinder installed2) Complete "Inline Tube" complete brake line kit comes with the vehicle3) Brand new tires are on the car with zero miles on them.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
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.
