1967 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Gray, Georgia, United States

This is a very nice surviving, unrestored car with matching numbers. Always garaged. I purchased this car about
nine years ago from a Corvette dealer based on the no-hit body, integrity and overall originality. Other than the
4-Speed, radio, shoulder belts and the fully tinted glass, it is a no option car. As a road race enthusiast, I
wanted it this way to feel the briskness of the road and the simplicity in ownership.
The original color is Goodwood Green. The car was painted in lacquer 35 years ago and it is holding up great with
no cracking but does have some nicks. This color is Riverside Gold that the original owner thought might look good
and he wanted a change. The Interior is 100 percent untouched original and only the carpet is showing any signs of
age. Even the original clear plastic floor mats are still with the car.
About nine out of ten mid-year Corvettes have blemishes and imperfections in the paint. It is just an inherent
trait with older fiberglass cars. So, in a sense, these cars always need paint jobs.
The original door waist seals and fuzzies are present and are in very good condition. This is where the window goes
down into the door...those outer seals.
The engine is matching numbers to the car’s original and unmolested data plate under the dash. It has never been
apart. All engine bay components are original and matching to the car. Only the water pump was replaced (original
is included). The engine does feature the dealer added correct 350hp alloy valve covers. I rebuilt the original
Holley carb with ethanol friendly components and used the blue Holley gaskets. I also just installed an ethanol
friendly OEM fuel pump.
In my ownership, I have replaced the rear mufflers with Magnaflows, added new stainless rear tips and new chrome
bezels. I replaced the rocker panel covers and replaced the sill covers. I rebuilt the left headlight motor so that
it matched the speed of the right side and I had the front end aligned with the steering wheel perfectly centered.
This cars drives tight and smooth. They are only original once.
The stance is excellent, nice and low and level from left to right. The car tracks perfectly down the highway and
is a joy to drive. There are no cracks on the dash top and no rips or tears in the seat upholstery. The engine is
quiet, transmission shifts perfectly and rear axle geared 3.36:1 is quite.
This is a great candidate to restore, scuff and respray back to Goodwood Green, convert to a 427 clone or
Pro-Tourer. I looked at over 25 cars before buying this car for it’s originality and perfect panel fit. The
bumpers were replaced with NOS units and they are pristine.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
