1965 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray on 2040-cars
Boston, Georgia, United States
1965 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible
This Car has been Garage Kept in my family in a smoke free environment since 1977. 1965 Corvettes are perhaps
the biggest bargain of the mid-year period. They're not the iconic 63's yet they have all the up grades that came
in, '65 most notable is 4 wheel disc brakes and a small block rebuilt to factory specs. Obviously if you like
driving your Corvette this car represents tremendous bang for the buck. If you drive any mid year Corvette
especially a Rally Red Corvette Roadster your going to get noticed. Subject to an exhaustive cosmetic and
mechanical restoration this one remains in excellent condition that's well above what most folks consider a
"driver". Professional frame off total restoration of the car some years back and it has always been
garage kept!
The seat covers are correct and these seats are some of the most inviting buckets I've seen in a long time-they're
just begging you to slide behind the wheel aren't they? The gauges are in beautiful condition, however the
odometer is not working and the tachometer is after market.
This vehicle is only driven about 200 miles per year, therefore the mileage is very low since the engine was
rebuilt however I don't know exactly what the mileage is. The markings are so crisp that I'm left wondering if
they even looked that good when they were new. Fresh carpets and center console add's to the factory fresh feeling
and the door panels are wonderfully done.
The radio is a rare AM/FM unit with that unique vertical orientation and there's a black 3 spoke steering wheels as
well, and the power antenna works! A bright white vinyl convertible top was installed at the same time and looks
quite good.
The block is a 1967-vintage 327 4 bolt main rebuilt. The manifolds have obviously been coated to protect the cast
iron and keep them looking good for years and they feed a reproduction exhaust system that sound's great.
The Muncie M 20 4-speed has been fully rebuilt and out back a set of 3.36 gears and positraction make it street
friendly no matter what you are doing. Four-wheel discs were new in '65 and very welcome given the car's
performance.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
