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.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award

Tue, Nov 17 2015

It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
