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.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
