I HAVE TO SAY FOR A CAR THAT IS 25 YEARS OLD ITS A PRETTY LOOKER AND STILL LOOKS LIKE A DREAM THEY SURE DONT MAKE CARS LIKE THIS ANY MORE!! LETS START BY TELLING YOU SOME THINGS ABOUT THIS CAR AS IT SITS TODAY, MY UNCLE RECENTLY PASSED AND LEFT THE CAR IN THE FAMILY TO SEND OFF WITH A GREAT POTENTIAL PERSON TO KEEP IT GOING THE WAY UNCLE JIM WOULD HAVE LIKED IT TO BE. WELL HERE GOES THE CAR CAN USE A LITTLE TLC AND WHEN I SAY TLC I MEAN SMALL THINGS THAT WILL KEEP HER A CLASSIC THAT SHE IS TODAY.
THIS CAR WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED BY MY UNCLE TIL ALMOST HIS VERY LAST DAY. WHENEVER THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR HE RAN VERY FAST TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF WHICH WAS EITHER AT HIS OLD MAN MECHANIC OR AT THE CAR DEALER ITSELF WHICH WAS NOT VERY OFTEN BECAUSE THE CAR SERVED HIM WELL.

CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AS FAR AS I KNOW THE BODY IS PRETTY SOLID I SHOULD KNOW I BRUISED MY ANKLE ON IT 4 TIMES ALREADY.
CARS INTERIOR IS GORGEOUS THE SEATS (VELOUR) HAVE NO TEARS OR RIPS AND THE DASHBOARD IS ALL INTACT, THE AIR CONDITIONAL BLOWS OUT ICE COLD THE COMPRESSOR AND FREON ARE AWESOME ANOTHER PLUS FOR A 25 YEAR OLD CAR.
THE CHEVY V8 305 ENGINE WITH 4 BARREL CARB IS VERY STRONG AND PURRS LIKE A KITTEN SHE DONT BURN ANY OIL OR LEAK ANY OIL AND FOR A 25 YEAR OLD CAR THATS TRULY INCREDIBLE PLUS THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPERB AS WELL IT SHIFTS BETTER THAN MY NEWER MODEL CAR OF TODAY!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
