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)

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.
