Nice 1986 low mileage Corvette Coupe. 81876 miles. The engine is the tuned port, fuel injected L-98. In 2010, $2000.00 was put into the engine. A bearing had spun, so the engine was taken out and steamed cleaned the block and the crank was turned down .010 and new rod, main and cam bearing were put in. New high volume oil pump was also put it in as were new injectors (Ford Borg Warner). They atomize better with 3 orifices as opposed to the single for the Vette injectors. New water pump, thermostat, timing chain, serpentine belt, tensioners etc. Also a new rack and pinion. I traded valve covers with our 73 Blazer as I thought the orange color gave the under the hood look a little more color and people liked it. The oil pressure is very high all the time having to do with the high performance oil pump and of course the new bottom end and has a heavy duty radiator and a radiator boost fan in addition to the regular radiator fan. (fans are designed to turn on at 229 degrees), Corvette want high engine temperatures for best performance. The new thermostat is 190 degrees. It has an engine oil cooler and the performance handling package and includes the Delco-Bilstein shock absorbers. It has power drivers seat, power locks, power windows, removable plexiglass roof panel (blue tint) which is weather checked (looks like little cracks) from age but still very service able), Electronic air conditioning control and converted to 134 and blows cold. It has cruise control, the stereo system is Delco-Bose and the radio/CD player is after market Sony. The retractable antennae works fine. The transmission is the Turbo Hydra matic 700 R-4 4 speed automatic. The car fast and the engine has a nice powerful sound to it. The performance handling package (basically heavy duty) gives it a slightly higher stance than the regular Corvette 12821 were give this option. (looks Cool). We averaged around 14 to 17 MPG in the city and up to 20 to 24 in the country. It has a new block heater. We never ran it in the winter as it was stored in a heated building. There were only 128 Vettes made with the blue metallic color. The tires have maybe up to 20000 miles of wear left on them. They are the larger P255/60VR16. It's a real fun car and handles and runs superbly. There are a couple of dings and I've included them in the photos. The major one is around the upper part of the riders side wheel well which shows it in photo #8. It needs to have a little more professional attention to it and the right turn guide light lens needs to be replaced with an original lens. Photo#9 shows the rider's side rear where the paint had pealed off slightly. Photo #10 shows chips by driver's door. Photo #11 shows a scuff on rear driver's side and photo #12 show chips above driver's side wheel well. The interior color is called Graphite. Photo 20 and 21 show the roof cover off and stored in the rear. We hate to part with it but my son is in college now and I'm a disabled Vietnam vet and we need the money, so it has to go. Remember this is a 28 year old car, but I believe one of the finer examples around, most of it's life has been in storage. The NADA guide values this Vette at $19750 for high retail. The average retail is $11700 and low retail is $7282. Value wise we feel this Vette is somewhere between the high and average retail and way, way above low retail in value. Purchaser will need to put a down Payment of $500 within 24 hours to Paypal. The remainder at pickup or within 7 days by way of cash or certified funds. The sale is for "as is' where is". The vehicle will need to be picked up within 2 weeks as we are loosing our storage for it. If payment in full is not made within 7 days then after the 7th day it will be relisted for sale or sold to the next highest offer. I can deliver the vehicle at a cost of $1.00 per mile, please contact me if you have plans for that so we can make arrangements. We have this car for sale locally so the Ebay listing may end early. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions please contact me.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem
Thu, Feb 11 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog. Related Video: Transport Canada Recall # 2016053 Recall Date 2016/02/04 Notification Type Safety Mfr System Brakes Manufacturer Recall Number 20760 Units Affected The number of vehicles or components affected by the recall. 46,837 Category Light Truck & Van, SUV Recall Details On certain Heavy Duty and Police Pursuit vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may become loose, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative. If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
