1986 Corvette, Automatic transmission with 93,305 miles..runs and drives great. No drips, No leaks. This car is very sounds and ready to drive, a little time and love would go a long way on this car. Has newer after market rims, with low millage Z rated tires (cost me over $220 each) Also has newer exhaust, Y pipe was replaced and new flow master mufflers. The heat and air both work good - the AC will need charged. Both headlight motors have been redone and work great, both power window motors have been changed and work great. I couldn't get the lock correct, so it needs "tucked" back inside the panel, but works fine. Both door panels have a screw in the corner, to hold them tight (done by previous owner - the plastic clips must have broken) The dash board was replaced and is nice. The radio works, but has a short, banging on it seems to fix.? The leather seats are OK, for 27 years old, the power adjustment on the seats are pulling out of the boxes, could be glued back/repaired, but no huge tears in the leather. I only drove this car 10 or 15 times last year, I only drive on weekend days where you can remove the top and enjoy. The removable top has 2 cracks, one on each side edge, and can be replaced - for now I have filled the cracks with super glue and they only have a minor drip if left in rain or power washed. There are a few minor cracks in plastic pieces here and there, about what you expect from the age of the plastic. The dashboard has 2 small lights on speedometer out, but the panel is bright and works perfect. The outside paint looks good when wet, pictures were taken just after it rained it clean (was very dirty from sitting for 6 months) but the black is very faded, mostly near the back, and the is a scratch down the drivers side door (courtesy of my EX) When very first started it smokes a bit of exhaust, just for a second, and kind of jumps a little bit when first put into drive..Its a GREAT car to drive, nothing else drives or rides like a VETTE. but I don't have the time or extra spending money to make it what it could be. Pictures will tell the story, I will add more later. Feel free to ask any Q's I'm sure I forgot to add something. Its a very solid running Corvette with good millage. I bought from a friend and have owned for about 8 years, and i am the cars 3rd owner.

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best
Tue, May 3 2016Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
