This auction is for my 1998 Corvette Convertible which is a triple black with black z06 rims. Exterior/Interior/Top black. As much as i do not want to sell this car, I have bought a couple of fixer upper houses that are in need of more cash then originally thought. Let me start with the bads which are few:
1. Cars paint is better then ok but is faded in the back some, and to be honest i would overall give it a 6.5 out of 10
2. Air conditioning is in need of a $300 fix (has a failing seal) price was quoted at the Hot Rod Barn in Morris. I personally dont care about the air as i dont drive in the rain and most of the time have the top down.
3. Top has a leak around the rear window which could be fixed with hot glue but eventually will need replaced.
HONESTLY THAT IS ALL THE BADS!
Now for the goods:
1. I purchased this car a little over a year ago for $11,000 and last August 2012 had the engine, transmission, rear end completely rebuilt and beefed up from the cars original 350 hp to nearly 500 hp (485 dyno tested). The engine was re-done using the best of parts by The Hot Rod Barn (professional speed shop). Every single part that had updates since the original build on the car was done (in other words when the car was originally built in 1998 there were parts that were not as good as some that are available now and i had all of them updated! Engine has a custom low lobe cam, dont hear it leaving others to think your stock (but the car is far from stock). I also had a $700 custom torque converter built for the car, the benifits to this converter is you only loose 15% hp from the crank to the rear tires which unlike stock Vettes that loose 38%, what this means to you is lightning fast take offs and excellerated shifting through the gears. This is about a 12.4 sec car. The transmission as well was 100% rebuilt and the rear diff was re-sealed, cleaned and tested. Now for the big surprise, which is the baddest exhaust system, i had American Racing Longtube ceramic headers installed and Stainless Works axle back exhaust ($1800 for the headers and $975 for the mufflers). The car sounds like a dragster at take off and when getting on it but purrs like a kitten when driving or cruising. I have got as much as 45 mpg while traveling on the interstates and as much as 35 in town. Total cost of the rebuild and exhaust system $15,000 and worth every penny. Brakes are in very good condition and the tires also only have 7500 miles on them (so they are practically new).
If you are looking for a fast car, that you can jump in and honestly take anywhere in the country over and over again, this is it! The cars body has 155K on it but lets face it we all worry about the mechanics of a car as that is what costs a fortune to fix and fix correctly. I chose The Hot Rod Barn to do my car because they had quite a few award winning Bloomington Gold Corvettes, not to mention show stopping restorations and some of the fastest times on the track. While I have never raced this car I can say that I have had it going over 125 mph and had a lot of pedal left for more fun. I have never done a burnout on in this and keep traction control on so that it will not do a burnout but do know it is capable of doing just about anything. If you want to hear the exhaust you or you want to talk to me about the car call me at 815-663-8148.

While other cars on ebay may have better paint, mechanically there isnt one close! There is a number of mechanical issues that the stock car has which have all been fixed and upgraded on this one. I also had a brand new $700 starter put into this, new water pump. Other cars that claim 70k miles have no upgrades and have been sitting causing the seals to be weak, mine has new everything mechanical and i would be more then happy to give you the number to the Hot Rod Barn where i had all the work done.
CASH ONLY AT TIME OF PICK UP - PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE AT THE END OF AUCTION, ALL PAYMENTS HAVE TO BE MADE 3 DAYS FROM PURCHASE.
Car is located in Spring Valley, Illinois 61362 - NOTE I AM NOT INTERESTED IN A HARLEY AND REALLY DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY TRADES UNLESS IT IS PROFESSIONAL WOODWORKING EQUIPMENT (BAND SAW, 12" OR WIDER JOINTER, PANEL ROUTER, CNC)

Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Tue, Apr 28 2020Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24. The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series. Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz. View this post on Instagram Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement
Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
