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.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
