Chevrolet Corvette Convertible on 2040-cars
Bonaire, Georgia, United States
1970 was the shortest production year of the Corvettes because of a GM strike that started later part of 1969 and went on thru alot of 1970. Because of this only 17,316 Corvettes were made and of this number only 6648 were convertible making the 1970 models one of the most sought after years because of the smaller amount made. Here is a very, very nice 1970 Chevy Corvette Convertible. This car only has 31,740 documented miles. ( See Pic ) It has the Matching Number 350 engine with 350 HP and 4 Speed transmission. It has the hard top and soft top. It's the factory color of Cortez Silver ( Paint Code 986 ) with Black Vinyl Interior ( Trim code 400 ). ( It has had 1 re paint )The body is super straight. All gauges work like they should. All lights work and the headlights come up like they are suppose too. The wipers work as well. The bumpers are nice. This car did not come with A/C and has No A/C now. It is just like it came from factory. It has power steering, tilt steering column and new front Disc brakes that were just put on. It has the original Carb. that was just completely rebuilt and it does great. I have pics of the engine numbers to show they match the Vin and to show it's a Factory 350/350 HP 4 Speed Car. This car is in great condition. It would be hard to find many faults with this Vette!! The door window rubbers are a little dry rotted but are the original ones. That is about the only flaw I can see. I have alot more pics of this car that if your interested in it you need to see. This Corvette looks better in person to me than in pics but I have enough pics to give you a good idea of the condition this car is in. I have the original owners manual. This Corvette is also For Sale locally and on other sites so auction could end early.

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.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
