 You are bidding on a 1986 C4 Corvette. The car will run and drive, but it overheats. It overheated, and picked up a "rough" run. I got into an engine upgrade for the car, and started taking it apart. At this time I noticed the area between the radiator and condenser was about 3/4 full of leaves. Also the inertia ring was off the balancer. Thought maybe that was the overheating and rough run. Put new balancer on and new thermostat, and reassembled. Car still overheats. head gasket? cracked head? I don't know. It will run for 20 min to half hour then gets hot. Battery is dead, but it can be started and driven for a test drive or driven onto a trailer just fine.
 I want to make it clear that I am unsure of the "actual" miles on the car. I bought it with 141k. Used it some. But I doubt its over 150k. (like I said battery is dead cant read odo.)
 Car drives fine, for an 86. I love to drive it. Car is complete. Dash light up most of the time, if not a "smack" gets it lit.prob a weak ground. All gauges worked last time I drove it. Needs a paint job, as clear is pealing, and a car cover played havoc on the paint. The rear carpet is all sun dried, and need replaced. Balance of interior is fine for an 86. It has a Delco Bose radio, and I feel it sounds excellent. Heat A/C worked fine, no freon in it now tho, never recharged after I put it back together. Headlights open and close just fine. Cruise doesn't work.
 Tires are good, just guessing at 60% thread er better....but i don't know the new tread depth on Dunlap's.Windows are old GM typical slow. One door entry lock is drilled out, I have new one's which I never installed, to go with sale. I have the original window sticker, which has been plastic covered. Typical of GM no headliner. Has removable fiberglass roof section.
 I purchased the car on E bay a couple of years ago, in Florida, and drove the car home to Texas. The car is in Freeport, TX. Which is aprox. 65 miles south of Houston.
 I purchased a  95 Corvette LT-1 engine and transmission complete. All wiring, engine and dash and engine ECM, radiator w/fans and complete shroud, radiator fill tank, condenser, a/c hoses, heater core and box, Clutch, flywheel,bell housing, slave w/pedals, and drive shaft. The trans is a ZF-6spd blue tag. There is probably more I'm not adding here, but I believe I have more than an engine changeover would need. If bid winner is interested in the complete "package" I'd want 1k additional, I paid more.
 I have no time, and really no place to change the engine anymore.
 
 Payment, $500.00 within 48 hours after close of auction. Balance due Within 7 days. Email me thru E bay me if your the winner and phone numbers exchanged, and P/U arrangement's can be made.

             THIS CAR MUST BE TOWED / TRAILERED. I HAVE NO WAY OF DELIVERING THE CAR. I WILL HELP AS NECESSARY IN LOADING THE CAR.

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016

Wed, Jan 27 2016

If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Recharge Wrap-up: EVs poll well in Portland, Tesla seeks office space

Tue, Aug 5 2014

In a poll of drivers in Portland, more than 80 percent said they would be driving an EV in the next 10 years if they weren't already. The poll was small and not scientific, with just 218 votes cast, but it does reflect a slice of a certain population with changing attitudes toward electric mobility, and 80 percent is an impressive figure. Additionally, 43 percent of respondents planned to have an EV in the next five years, and only 18 percent said they prefer gasoline-powered vehicles. With EVs in many ways repeating the adoption process that hybrids went through a decade ago, the five- or ten-year timeframe for more widespread use seems only natural. Read more at the Portland Business Journal. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee parks like an idiot, or rather, his security detail does. His Chevrolet Volt has been ticketed for parking six times since he took office. Granted, those street-sweeping signs are tough to keep track of, but his car has been photographed blocking at a bus stop while grabbing a burrito (who hasn't sinned in the name of a delicious burrito?), and was even caught parked in a crosswalk. The tickets were all dismissed. Read more from the SF Gate. Tesla is looking for office space in Silicon Valley. As the electric car company continues to search for a place to build its $4- to $5-billion battery Gigafactory, it also needs some real estate to expand its operations near its Palo Alto home. Tesla has expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 California-based employees since the end of 2012, and plans to add 500 more by the end of the year. It is currently looking for 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space close to its Fremont factory, according to sources in the real estate industry.
