1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray on 2040-cars
Halstad, Minnesota, United States
Numbers matching 1972 Corvette Stingray, one of few original Pewter silver color code, 350 Base Original Engine
blueprinted to perfection (350/350 hp) by Zeke's Automotive Performance Shop. This Stingray still retains its
original alternator and point system distributor. I think this is one of 617 built with the three speed THM 400.
Production date February 14, 1972 (Valentine's Day). Production Plant, St. Louis, MO. I could go on with the engine
specs, but it would be too long. I could email relevant documentation. Yes, I am sure that the sticker tank is
still intact, because the tank is original and never was manipulated. Stainless Steel calipers, stops on a dime,
poly bushings everywhere, front and rear as well. Yes I have the original valve covers in a box.
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Windows, rear window defroster,3 point seat belts, pop out back window.
American Racing Appliance Rims. Original radio (AM/FM push button} is still where the factory installed It along
with factory speakers. It used to work, then it just stopped getting a reception, never tried to see what the
problem was.
I have owned this car since 1985, it has always been garage kept. Never winter driven by me or the second owner
(Kept in a heated garage). Second owner (an older man) lived nearby, he purchased it from a fellow co-worker ,in
1977 (the original owner).
Please keep in mind that this car is 43 years old plus. Carpets are deteriorating in the front area; carpets in
cargo area are ok. Passenger seat is in very good condition; however driver’s seat may need some re-stitching. To
my knowledge car has the original paint with blemishes. Paint is also fading away (especially hood) and chipping
away on the tailgate. I was never able to find a competent shop to repaint this car and have left it to the next
owner to handle it. Basically what you see is what you get, nothing hidden by mediocre paint job.
Car has BF Goodrich tires that have 95+% thread but they have been on the car since 1989, Even though they are in
showroom condition, no cracks nor dry, I think they should be replaced.
Brand new Dyno-Max performance exhaust system that was sitting in boxes for years (discontinued) was finally
installed last year from headers to tail pipe (complete). This car gets a fresh oil and filter change every spring
even though I have only been putting a little over 100 miles every summer in the past few years.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
