You are bidding on a beautiful 1975 Corvette T-Top. The car has been recently restored by a professional, Michigan registered repair facility. The paint is a 3 stage candy apple red and is absolutely gorgeous. Nothing but the highest quality materials and paint were used on this car. The body is in excellent shape, no cracks, scratches, chips, etc. The under carriage has also been professionally prepared and undercoated to ensure many years of enjoyment from this vehicle. The black interior is in decent shape. The seats, carpet, connsole, and dash are all in good shape. The motor is a carburetted 5.7 liter (35). It has a edelbrock carburetor, aluminium intake. It has accel coil in distributer w/8.8 Accell plug wires. It has an aluminium edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers. Other features include, headers and duel exhaust with flow master mufflers. The motor was originally equipped with A/C, but the pump has been removed, probably to increase horsepower. The odometer currently reads slightly under 88,100 but may increace in mileage if we decide to drive this car to local car shows. The car has chrome crager wheels that are in very good shape, there may be minor flaws that are hardly noticable, you may find some slight peeling and small corrosion upon close inspection, but the wheels still look very good and shine well. The front tires are Radial GT HP 4000 P 245/60 R15 and rears are P275/60 R15 and tires are have 60% Good tread. Lots of miles left on them. The stereo is a Panasonic CQ-C11010 50 Wattx4 CD player. Car has factory tachometer and a 8000 RPM Sunpro tack attached to steering column. Transmission is an Automatic and shifts good and smoothly. Shifter on floor (console), all chrome, emblems, trim and T-Tops are present and in good shape (original). Imperfections on this car are minimal. The headlights are up all the time. I haven't had a chance to diagnose the problem since Corvette's are not my specialty, if we don't sell the corvette quickly I will fix the headlights when I get a couple other projects out of the way. I don't think it will take much to fix the headlights. The interior has some imperfections, scratches on headliner . Some cracks in rear panels (Behind Seats). The heater blower switch is bad, heater blower motor works fine (has been tested) the switch is bad. The driver side window goes down fine, when going up it needs guided by hand. Again I haven't had a professional look at it. It does go all the way down and 3/4 of the way up without assistance. This car is in excellent mechanical condition (Other than issues listed). The brakes are like new, pads, rotors, callipers etc. The shocks are good the rear has air shocks on it. The front and rear bumpers have been smoothed out. No gaps or waves that most Corvette bumpers have. Extra time and money were invested in this cars body work and paint work to get it to look as beautiful as it does. The pictures of this car do it no justice, the color is beautiful, and the shine is as good if not better than any Corvette around. It has chrome Hot Rod style mirrors on both driver and passenger side. (They look good) This whole car was water sanded and buffed to a lustre that will even stand out at car shows. All lights, blinkers, power windows, etc. works fine. As far as the motor and transmission, everything seems to run extremely well, the motor seems to be very tight and strong, and the transmission shifts with absolutely no apparent problems. It was very smooth riding for a Corvette. We have have a lot of time and money invested in this car and we realize you we will not be able to recoup all all of our investment considering the time and effort that has put into this vehicle. I find it hard to believe that you would ever be able to get this much car, looking as good as this one does, and have it professionally done, with the the low reserve we have placed on this corvette. My local bank says this car has a loan value of $15,500 in average condition, and a loan value of $24,000 in excellent condition. This car's exterior is in excellent condition, and the car's interior is in good to high average condition for it's age. We would encourage you to come and look at this vehicle before you purchase, or if you are unable to come and look at it, we would encouarge you to get an independent inspection. We are confident this car would have no problems passing an independent inspection. This car, as with all used vehicle, sold in Michigan is being sold "AS IS" and Without a Warranty. Is is your responsibility to do you homework when buying any used vehicle. If your the winning bidder a $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours is expected. I have 100% positive feedback, for a good reason, because I am honest with the condition of all items I sell. Do not bid if you don't have access to the money or financing!!! The restoration of this cars body would cost a minimum of $10,000 and that's on the low side considering its a 3 stage candy paint, with extensive priming and blocking and all that goes with the show quality paint work. If you are interested in financing this vehicle I would recommend going through Hagerty Classic Cars. They may be able to finance it for as low as 5.99% w/ a small downpayment. Payments based on $16,000 w/small down would come out to about $250. per month. Hagerty Insurance can insure this corvette with "full coverage - no deductible" based on good driving record for around $350 per year. My local bank may be like your local bank, who said they would loan up to $24,000 on this vehicle for as low as 1.99% interest. If you have any questions you may call Scott (who has done all the work on this vehicle and knows this corvette inside and out) at 517-960-9363 or Byron at 517-474-0627 We are anxious to sell this vehicle so the reserve is set very low. It would be a great loss to us if this vehicle sells barely over the reserve price. I have tried to be totally honest about every known issue or problem with this vehicle, however, this car's few imperfections are greatly overshadowed by the beautiful condition and eye appealing look of this corvette. If you are the high bidder, you must put a $1,000 non-refundable deposit on this vehicle within 24 hours of the close of the auction.

The seller has the right to end this auction early if this vehicle sells locally.
On Mar-13-13 at 12:31:19 PDT, seller added the following information:
*Please note: I placed a low interest loan on this vehicle when the restoration was complete and bank said it could take until the 1st of April to get the title back, therefore you may have to wait until the April 1st to receive the title to this vehicle. I will post and update in the auction if the title arrives to me before the end of the auction. I guarantee the title will clear and sent with the vehicle.

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]
Thu, Aug 7 2014It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'
Mon, Mar 17 2014As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
