About this Vette:
This was the last year of the front & rear chrome bumpers. No AC, No Power Windows.
The original colors were Ontario Orange w/Tan Interior.
The exterior is not Steel Cities Grey, it's the Dark Metallic Grey that Chevy used on the 2001 trucks.
The new paint has been professionally done after removing all of the previous paint (had been repainted 2x). 
The car has not been driven and has been garage stored with fitted flannel cover (included) since new paint and looks great.
Receipts for prep, paint & replace windshield totaled $8,645.
Between Ecklers and Corvette Central I've spent more than $7500 in parts, with an additional $1000 or so going to other sources.
The original hood was replaced with a "Long" L-88 Hood, eliminating the air actuated wiper door and providing extra clearance in the event a Big Block was desired.
Currently in the process of installing new wiring harnesses including all new bulbs and proper fuses.
The Weather Stripping and Interior has NOT yet been reinstalled.
Windshield is new (professionally installed), side and rear windows are original but are in good shape.
The 350 cu/in motor is not original (recently replaced, I don't know the actual milage but it looks to be fairly new and ran strong). Tach and Speedo cables were replaced since I had the dash out.
The Exhaust System aft of the headers was removed with the intent of replacing the entire system utilizing side pipes (current headers are in place but planned on replacing them due to fitment requirements of the side exhaust. (The Side Exhaust Conversion Panel replaced the stock rear panel prior to paint)
The Fuel Tank was removed/discarded and will need replacement. 
The Battery Box was re-glassed and a new battery will be required.
The Wheels are Center Line 8 x15 with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires in good shape (spare tire needs to be replaced).

  • Seat Belts 
  • All Fasteners are New and Proper

When I bought this car the Odometer Reading on the Title was "EXEMPT" due to the age of the vehicle. The Odometer Reading on the Speedometer shows 34457. I don't think this car has 134,457 miles on it due to the shape it's in but I don't claim the milage is 34,457 either... Probably somewhere in between.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

Wed, Mar 9 2016

You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
