  • I am the Original OWNER of this fully loaded 2000 C5 Corvette … I ordered it from Anderson Chevrolet in Cupertino, CA and I took delivery in October 1999
  • 208,302 miles  (But the car drives awesome and feels like half the mileage) the car is 15 years old and this means the car travelled about an average of 14k miles per year with the exception of the last three years when it’s been only occasionally driven as I am retired, probably less than 3k mikes a year. As long as I’ve owned this Corvette the predominant usage has been on the highway (I was a salesman)….I rarely had to replace brakes!
  • Engine is strong and uses no oil. Oil and filter have been changed within the prescribed mileage intervals and only with Mobil 1. It has a Donaldson Blackwing Air Filter
  • Transmission shifts smooth and crisply. Recently I replaced the Reverse Synchronizer and gear, and the other gear assemblies were prefect!
  • Clutch is tight and responsive and has much of its life left. It has had 3 clutches and all have been Luk Gold clutch/pressure plate assemblies. Current clutch has about 15K on it.
  • Differential is an A&A Specialties 3.90 (I replaced the stock 3.73) and it makes 6th gear much more useable at freeway speeds and pulls very hard under acceleration!
  •  Bassani Quad Tip Stainless Steel Exhaust system w/X-pipe
  • Griffin  LS1/6  2 Row  1 1/4 ” aluminum Radiator
  •  Z51 Performance Handling Package
  • Active Handling System w/control button
  • Lowered 3/4 ” utilizing Bilstein shocks
  • Exterior body and paint is in good condition commensurate with a 15 year old car and shows no dings, but does have some scratching and rock chips on the nose car   SEE PICS! 
  • Interior is nice and has maintained all its appeal. No smells and no foul odors. The driver's seat shows some tears/wear around the edges of the driver’s bolster (see pics) …passenger seat almost unused but aged.. Included are two NEW Sport Seat Covers (see pics)
  • The Interior includes ALL the options available that year, HEADS UP Display, 6-way power seats on both sides, Dual Zone Air Conditioning, Bose AM/FM Stereo w/ remote Compact 12 disc changer, Twilight Sentinel and power Telescoping Steering Column
  • Roof package includes BOTH roofs.  Lt. Pewter and Blue Transparent which is in excellent condition, only used maybe 6 times.  Removable Tops lock and unlock perfect and absolutely no signs of any leaks.
  • Tires are Brand New!.. just installed
  • Wheels are the optional Magnesium. They are in reasonable condition but do show some signs of road rash and some paint chipping… see pics
  • This car was not a “garage queen”, I’ve had several Corvettes (C4s & C5s) and I bought them because I love to drive them!!  If you are looking for a pristine example to grace your garage and be driven on sunny Sundays, this car might not be for you…If you are a gear head looking for a well-equipped Corvette to drive, renovate or convert to a track car…This is it!... This car will only go up in value as the years go by and there is less and less of these around (Especially this well-equipped)
  • Premium All weather Car Cover (virtually unused) included
  • Set of three factory shop manuals included and many docs, receipts, instructions etc.
  • Box of extras, including Red Z06 valve covers, several hi-po shifters, stock air box, fuel filters, shifter knobs etc

        Please this is being listed locally and I reserve the right to withdraw on prior sale

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
