Here we have a 1975 Corvette Stingray w/TTops. This car has been recently restored by a professional, Michigan registered repair facility . The paint is crystal red candy, which is on the 2013 Corvette. It is a 3 stage candy paint and is absolutely beautiful. Only high quality materials and paint were used on this car. The body is in excellent shape, no cracks, scratches, chips etc. The under carriage has been completely undercoated for future protection. All the glass (windows) is in great shape, no cracks, chips, gouges etc. The black interior of this corvette is in decent shape. Seats, carpet, console, dash are in good shape. The motor is a carburetted 5.7 liter (350). It has a edelbrock carburettor, aluminium intake. Has accel coil in distributer w/8.8 Accell plug wires. Has aluminium edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers. Has headers and duel exhaust with flow master mufflers. Motor originally was equipped with A/C, but pump has been removed, probably to increase horsepower. The odometer has 88,799 miles. This car has chrome crager wheels that are in decent shape. There is some peeling and small corrosion spots but they still look good and shine well. The front tires are Radial GT HP 4000 P 245/60 R15 and rears are P275/60 R15 and tires are have 60% Good tread. Lots of miles left on them. The stereo is a Panasonic CQ-C11010 50 Wattx4 CD player. Car has factory tachometer and a 8000 RPM Sunpro tack attached to steering column. Transmission is an Automatic and shifts good and smoothly. Shifter on floor (console), all chrome, emblems, trim and T Tops are present and in good shape (original). Imperfections on this car are minimal. The headlights are up all the time. I haven't had a professional mechanic look at them but I heard it could be a couple seals that are less than $20.00. The interior has some imperfections, scratches on headliner . Some cracks in rear panels (Behind Seats). The heater blower switch is bad, heater blower motor works fine (has been tested) the switch is bad. The driver side window goes down fine, when going up it needs guided by hand. Again I haven't had a professional look at it. It does go all the way down and 3/4 of the way up without assistance. This car is in excellent mechanical condition (Other than issues listed). The brakes are like new, pads, rotors, callipers etc. The shocks are good the rear has air shocks on it. The front and rear bumpers have been smoothed out. No gaps or waves that most Corvette bumpers have. Extra time and money were invested in this cars body work and paint work to get it to look as beautiful as it does. The pictures of this car do it no justice, the colour is very pretty, and the shine is as good fi not better than any Corvette around. It has chrome Hot Rod style mirrors on both driver and passenger side. (They look good) This whole car was water sanded and buffed to a lustre that will even stand out at car shows. All lights, blinkers, power windows, etc. works fine. As far as drivability we bought this Corvette in Ohio and drove it straight home to Michigan approximately 2 1/2 hours and had no problems. It was very smooth riding for a Corvette. Other than the drive home I haven't put a lot of miles on it. We have too much time and money in this car to be driving it around and have something happen to it. SO after the restoration we have stored it inside and covered with a car cover.(which comes with the car to the winning bidder) We have access to financing as low as 5.99%, the average loan value is approximately $15,000 and the good loan value is approximately $24,000. If your the winning bidder a $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours is expected. We have 100% positive feedback, for a good reason, because I am honest with the condition of all items I sell. Do not bid if you don't have access to the money or financing!!! We are not giving this car away, the reserve is set at a fair price. The restoration of this cars body would cost a minimum of $10,000 and that's on the low side considering its a 3 stage candy paint, with extensive priming and blocking and all that goes with the show quality paint work. This car looks like its doing 100mph sitting still!! Good Luck bidding Guys and Gals!! If you have any questions regarding the vehicle other than the reserve feel free to call Scott at 517-960-9363. We are not telling the reserve so bid according to what you plan on paying.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
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.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
