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.

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.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.

GM struggles to sell small cars, plans to lay off 2,084 employees at two plants

Thu, Nov 10 2016

Due to low demand for some of its vehicles, General Motors plans to cut 2,084 jobs at its assembly plants in Lordstown, OH and Lansing, MI. At the same time, the automaker also announced plans to invest approximately $900 million in three of its facilities – the Toledo Transmission Operations in Ohio, Bedford Casting Operations in Indiana, and Lansing Grand River in Michigan - for future products. GM will discontinue the third shift at both the Lansing Grand River plant and the Lordstown, OH plant. The Cadillac ATS, Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Camaro are made at the automaker's plant in Michigan, which currently has 2,700 employees. The move to eliminate the third shift affects 810 hourly workers, as well as 29 salaried employees, starting on January 16th. The plant in Lordstown, OH currently has 4,500 employees and makes the Chevrolet Cruze sedan. The plan to discontinue the third shift will affect 43 salaried workers and 1,202 hourly employees and will start on January 23rd. As Fortune points out, sales of the Cruze are down 20 percent through October, while sales of the Cadillac ATS and CTS were down 17 percent through the same period of time. In addition to cutting the third shift at both assembly plants, the automaker plans to invest a total of $900 million between three of its facilities for unnamed future products. GM's Toledo Transmission Operations will receive $667.6 million, the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant will receive $211 million, and the automaker's Bedford Casting Operations will get $37 million. Last year, GM cut roughly 500 jobs from its Orion Township factory due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, with surging crossover and SUV sales as the most likely culprit. With GM posting much healthier sales figures for the Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac XT5 compared to the ATS, CTS, and Cruze, it looks like compact SUVs are to blame for this year's layoffs as well.
