This listing is for a Black 1999 2 Door Corvette Convertible C-5 Automatic 5.7L 4 Speed V8 350ci 345HP with 106,590 Miles.

The current owner's late husband who was an auto body worker who past away not long ago. His wife has decided to have me sell this car for her. No one has driven this car regularly since April of 2012 but the car has been regularly started and run and is still in great condition. 

This Corvette convertible is loaded! 
The previous owner removed all of the panels and professionally repainted this car back to black piece by piece in 2006. The body is in excellent condition. There is only one really notable scratch, behind the drivers side door handle, which is not a very big scratch. This car has been garage kept and still looks great. Compared to a factory black mustang with the same mileage I would say the body is in excellent overall condition, with a newer custom paint job(still the original factory color) with minor micro-scratches that when waxed are virtually unnoticeable.   

The specs on the engine and transmission are that this is a 350 Cubic Inch 5.7 Liter 4 Speed with 345 Horsepower and it can be very fast, very quick. This car can go zero to 50 in about 3-4 seconds.

The 1999 Corvette Convertible was the second and last year that the fifth generation Corvette was released with retractable headlights.

This car has aftermarket wheels and a Cat Back exhaust system. The gear ratio on the rear axle is 3:15. This Corvette has a Z-51 Suspension Package and has the Bose speaker system option with a factory radio/cd player.

The tires on this car were recently installed and in new condition. PLEASE NOTE: This car does not have a spare tire or emergency jack.

This two owner Corvette has never been in an accident and has been properly maintained with regular oil changes, tune-ups, tire rotations, lights, fluids, and normal vehicle maintenance upkeep.

I recently drove this Corvette so that I could help list this vehicle more accurately. The battery was dead when I got there, but we hooked a battery charger up to it and it started right up and a few hours later when I went to take pictures the car started right back up without any issues. 

This Corvette drives great! The suspension and front end are tight and well aligned. The engine has great compression and an abundance of Horsepower. When you drive it, the belt tension(tensioner) pulley chirps a little bit. This may be due to the age of the bearings in the pulley getting worn out, but the Pulley doesn't squeal or squeak... it is simply a chirp sound, like maybe it could used some lubricant. Regardless, it is a minor issue for a car or it's age and otherwise the car preforms greatly.

The engine and transmission have not had any repairs or damages and are perfectly functioning with plenty of torque, ample horsepower and smooth shifting.

The interior of the car is black with leather automatic power bucket seats. The drivers side seat has 3 small tears in the leather from the normal use in the lifetime of the drivers seat, but the seat is still comfortable and functional.

The door locks and windows are also automatic powered locks and windows....

The convertible's latches work smoothly for the soft top which works properly and drops or pops quickly with ease.  

Here are some specs on the some of the options of the car that I may have overlooked when typing this listing.

Bose Speaker option
CD player
Leather Seats
Power seats
Power Windows.
Cruise Control.
Power Locks.
Airbags on both drivers and passengers sides.
Anti-lock breaks.
Aftermarket wheels
Brand new tires.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
