You're looking at my mostly original 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray t-top coupe. This is a numbers matching, original engine Vette. This car is a great runner. It was originally a pewter silver color but was repainted torch red by previous owner of almost 30 years! The paint job looks good but is not show quality (5-10 footer, nice and shiny, a few flaws up close). The car is highly optioned with tilt/tele steering wheel, power brakes, power steering, power windows, deluxe interior with leather seats, shoulder belts, and factory A/C. This car is a driver, so there are a few little flaws here and there. Nothing detracts from the beauty of this car though! It has a great stance and sits just right (not all goofy and jacked up because someone didn't know how to install new leaf springs correctly). The side pipes make it look even more aggressive, and it sounds amazing! The rear exhaust outlets are still present so if one wants to convert back to stock, it can be done quite easily. The original deluxe black leather interior looks good, but again it is in driver condition. The drivers seat cover has been replaced, passenger has not (looks fine, just not new). Carpets are decent. Door panels and dash are nice and original. All chrome is driver quality, again...original to the car. Again, this car has never been restored but it drives and looks good. The car is now sporting an LT-1 big block style hood, which definitely looks better than the stock small block hood (was swapped out when the car was painted red years ago). This has always been a Southern car and has no rust other than simple surface stuff which is normal for a 42 year old car. It has been garage kept all its life, and since 1984 (when the previous owner bought it with approximately 64,000 miles on it) it has only traveled an additional 16,000 miles +/- to it's current reading of 80,412. I was told by the previous owner this is original and has not rolled over. I drive the car on weekends so that number may go up slightly. The car is very strong, and pulls through all gears very well. The 4 speed tranny feels great. Tires and brakes are all good. The pop up lights work as they should. The wiper door works intermittently (probably a small vacuum leak). Interior lights work, as well as key buzzer and parking brake. I have the original radio/amp as well as an owners manual. The t-tops don't rattle, and this year still has the pop out rear glass window. Overall this is a fantastic Corvette that just needs a new owner. Drive and enjoy and restore as you go along if you desire. It is great looking and gets thumbs up every time I take her out! She's faster than my 1970 300hp Vette! This is not a $30k show car, nor is it a $10k beater. This is a basically 2 owner Vette that is mostly original (minus the color change, hood and pipes). I am a private collector thinning my collection (per my wife's request) from 15 down to 11 currently...she'd like it be 6. So, this sweet ride must go. I'm selling at NO RESERVE, so the last bid wins the car. PLEASE have all your ducks in a row, finances in order, and permission from your wife, boss, priest, whomever BEFORE bidding and certainly before winning! The car MUST be paid in FULL than no later than 5 days after auction ends. You don't have to pick it up by then, but it MUST be paid for by then. PERIOD. I have had 2 bad experiences in the last month with bidders not paying for 2 other cars I sold. I'm over it. This is not a game. It costs ME time and money to keep relisting. It's an auction. You win, you bought it. Car is for sale locally so the auction could end at any time. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to make an offer. All sales are final, no refunds and no warranty is expressed or implied. This car is 41 years old. It is a great driver and will give you years of fun. If you want perfection, go spend $30-40k for a restored one. If you want killer looks, performance, and a blast to drive at a fraction of that...then buy mine. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Remember, this is a no reserve auction..so bid high and bid often. Last bid wins! Good luck!

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
