1985 Red Corvette

Only 14,000 Original Miles

Cars like this are very hard to find. The first owner bought the car new and kept it in a heated garage under a custom car cover since new. This Corvette is all original, numbers matching, never wrecked, painted or had any body work. He drove it a little each summer. He owns a few Corvettes but this was the only one he bought new so he tried to keep the miles low. He is a retired mechanic and did his own maintenance and made sure all maintenance was performed and he stored the car properly at the end of each summer. I have loved this car for years and tried to get him to sell it to me many years ago but he was too attached to the car. I finally got him to make me a deal a year ago. I have had the air conditioning upgraded to the latest system and I fixed a minor emissions issue it had. The car runs and drives great and has that deep awesome Corvette sound and still puts a lot of power to the road. It has the sport seats with the Bose system, power windows, door locks, tilt wheel with telescoping feature, tinted glass removable roof and many more options. This car is all original, it even has the original tires. I would love to keep it but finances are forcing me to sell it. At nearly 30 years old with such low miles this is a classic Corvette that will only go up in value if it is kept in this same condition. I have the owner's manuals and everything that came new with the car. If you are looking for a really nice classic Corvette that can be driven and will appreciate in value then this is your car. The color combination with the condition and the low, low, miles makes this Corvette a very rare car. NADA book value on this car is $19,975.00 and they give no add for miles. Most cars this age have over 100,000 miles and have had multiple owners. You can tell from looking and driving this car that it has been very well preserved since the day it was bought. I am starting the auction at a very low price and the car will sell to the highest bidder. I will deliver the car within 300 miles for free. I will work with anyone who would like to ship the car anywhere and I will do what I can to help you with shipping. I require payment by wire transfer within 5 days of purchase and I require a $500 payment from PayPal within 24 hours of purchase. I have the title with no liens so the car is ready to go. I try to be very thorough in my description and if you check out my feedback I don't embellish the things I sell. This car is exactly how I've described it and to my knowledge everything works perfect. I had my mechanic go over it in the spring and the only things he suggested, which I did fix was to upgrade the air conditioning and fix an issue with the exhaust, which would occasionally cause the check engine light to come on. Since it was fixed I driven it all summer with no issues and ice cold AC. I haven't seen another 1985 Corvette in this kind of condition with this low of miles and with such a perfect color combination. If you have any questions or would like more pictures just call Doug at 208-403-3684 and I will help in any way I can. I hate to sell this car because I have wanted it for many years but things are just not good enough for me financially to justify keeping it. I want it to go to a good home where someone will continue to care for it the way it has been cared for the last almost 30 years. Bid with confidence you WON'T be disappointed in this car. I will include the car and dash covers. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time. If you love the car and have an offer that's fair call me and I will consider ending things early if I can get a fair price. I need the money and would like to sell the car fast.  Call Doug at 208-403-3684 or send me questions through eBay and I will answer them. Thanks for the interest!!

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
