See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"See item description."

This 1985 Corvette runs good and should be quite drivable. It sat in the previous owners garage for many years not running until I purchased it and got it going. Mechanically it looks to be in good condition.. I have recently replaced the fuel tank filler assembly (including fuel pump, strainer, and level sensor), distributor cap and rotor, driver side power window motor and rack, fuel filter, and valve cover gaskets. The catalytic converter was also replaced with a new California Magnaflow unit. It also has a new Interstate battery. Car passed smog well with emissions being around the middle of acceptable limits. The original valve covers were damaged by the previous owner, so I replaced them with stock appearing stamped steel types. I do believe this to be the original corvette engine. Transmission is free of excessive noise and shifts well. Car does not appear to leak oil.

This corvette does however need some mechanical more work. The front tires are well worn and the rear tires have cracks from sitting around too long in dry Nevada. The AC clutch is not receiving power. I suspect a relay to be at fault as the fuse is good. The power door locks, interior lights, and radio do not function as well.

The Exterior is in overall good condition but the paint is oxidized on the doors, nose, and left rear quarter panel. The oxidized paint does appears to polish out to a nice shine. With some effort, the paint should be able to be made to look pretty good. There is some small fiberglass damage in the front of the hood , on the front side panel, and there is some paint cracks in center of hood. Other then that typical scuffs and scratches for a car this age. See pictures.

The Inter is in fair condition. The rear carpet is in serious need of replacement and the door panels are starting to delaminate and separate. The seats appear well used but are in otherwise in decent shape. The dash pad is free of cracks. The steering wheel is aftermarket but I do have the original. The original wheel however does need restoration of leather. The left front Bose speaker is out of the car and is in need of a new amplifier board.

I am selling the car because I simply have too many projects and not enough time. My asking price is quite firm. I have tried to give enough detail of the good and bad characteristics, but this is an old car and may have other issues. I encourage any interested party to come look at the car before committing to buy, as I expect the buyer to complete the transaction. I accept only cash payments and require it within 7 days of auction end. Please contact me if you have any more questions or if you want to come look at the car. Thanks for looking at my listing.

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application

Fri, Dec 26 2014

In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.
