1985 Corvette 4+3. 350 v8 tune port fuel injection, the transmission is the Doug Nash "4+3" transmission - a 4-speed manual coupled to an automatic overdrive on the top three gears. The car has 114K miles on it. It is not a daily driver. I've put less than 1,000 miles on the car since January. I drive an hour one way to work, so I do not drive the car except when I am on my days off. The car is in very good condition and has been taken care of (even babied). New tires all around and not the '85 factory wheels (they have been upgraded). The car has the moon roof in it that can be taken out and stored in the hatch. Upgraded sound system to a CD player, installed door speakers and rear speakers being pushed with a 600 watt amp. 2 - 12" subs in the hatch being pushed by a 1,000 watt amp and routed through a passive EQ for excellent sound. The latest maintenance completed on the car was a new timing chain, water pump, harmonic balancer, motor mounts & drive (serpentine) belt. Things I think the car will need soon: brakes to be bled (to strengthen the pedal), new window tint on both doors, hydraulic arms for the rear hatch & air conditioner will need to be charged. Other than that, the car is solid and like I said, well taken care of. It has been driven respectfully (because I do not want to tear the car up). The reason I am wanting to sell is because I have a camper. I am looking for a truck to pull the camper with. I am married with six children and the 'vette only seats 2. :-) My family time is more important right now than "cruising" time so I am going to sell or trade for a truck. I figured I would start here first and see what happens. If there are ANY questions at all, please ask. I will do my best to answer everything! Thanks for looking and bidding. I am also interested in trading if there's a truck out there that someone wants to get rid of that peaks my interest!

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
