1985 Corvette hatch back, running driving project. new brakes, shocks, paint. rebuilt motor and transmission. Great project that you can drive! Engine and trans rebuilt by previous owner. Converted to Carb set up with Elderbrock, manifold and carb, headers. Exhaust is not loud! stock type. engine starts right up and runs smooth. transmission shifts fine. Paint is a fair job does have some runs in the clear coat etc and needs a good polish.Nice and shiny though. Runs cool no overheating problems. Gas tank has been cleaned out. I do have the original rims, TPI set up etc which comes with the car. She does not need a whole lot done to be a real good looking daily driver, mostly interior. New wood steering wheel. Some electrical issues such as, headlight motors, A/C. A/C does work.
The TPI set up is included with the car. You will need a good engine harness to reinstall if wanted. Slight valve cover oil leak on passenger side. Alternator overcharges per gauge. A load control switch like used for large stereo units will fix this cheap. Heater hoses will need to be hooked up, no leaks.
Dash gauges are ok . Gauge cluster is good. Please ask all questions before you bid. Although the Corvette does run and drive it is a project car.( mostly interior, cosmetics.) I am having back issues and will have to give up on my hobby. I have about 5 grand in this car by the way so she is a great deal. Pay Pal or cash only. $500 deposit nonrefundable through Pay Pal.
I do have most of the trim, Corvette emblems etc, Thanks Happy bidding!

I have only driven the vette about 50 miles at a time. I would not attempt to drive it across country! I listed it as a running project not a finished ready to go car! Would it make a 1000 mile trip? Probably so, but why chance it!
On Jan-15-13 at 06:07:27 PST, seller added the following information:
Just a few more details, A/C Heater control is inoperative,heater hoses need to be hooked up. Heater core is good no leaks. Head light motors need the relays, I think the headlight motors are good. Alternator overcharges a bit, needs a regulator. Drove it yesterday ,starts right up even in the cold. Steering is good and tight.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
