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)

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
