A fresh 355 small block w/Powerglide trans, new floorboards, fenders and quarters were installed at S/W Performance, Glassboro, NJ. ![]() Totally disassembled by Brian and his friends. Scott, being the local “Speed Shop” owner, figured this type of car (1967 Chevy Nova), would be a perfect candidate for a mild Hot Rod build and were ready to take a couple of years to complete it.Ī running car was purchased, and the process began. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.The car was purchased to be Brian Hughes’s first, “High School” daily-driver (at age 14). One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.Ĭhevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here.

But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.Ģ014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut Mon, A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood.
