1987 Corvette project car runs & drives. 4+3 manual transmission. I believe it to be a Z51 as it says so in the center console. I believe the 68,033 miles are authentic. I have owned the car for almost three years it was bought as a project car and kept in my garage all that time. It is sold with a Maine title signed by the previous owner. I have never had it registered or on the road.

I put on custom rims and new tires, K&N air filter, spark plugs, thermostat. The exterior is in decent condition there is a large section on the hood where the paint is chipping off. Other than that I think it just needs a paint job. The interior is in fair shape the main exception is that both seats are in bad shape and so is the leather on the steering wheel. I also have the drivers door panel that is not in the pics or the video.

Some things I know don't work passenger headlight motor, drivers window, emergency brake, power adjustable seat.

Check out the video to see the car running. It doesn't smoke or leak any fluids. Transmission shifts into all four gears. What you don't really see in the video is that when you first start the car it usually runs a little rough for 30-60 seconds then smooths out and runs fine. I suspect really old gasoline might be the issue, but who knows. I know this car can yard drive but I've never had it out on the road most of my driving in it has been backing in and out of the garage to be worked on. Also to answer the question would I feel comfortable driving this car to California NO. I know the car works but I can't recommend anyone driving it to its destination it would be foolish. I don't mind storing this for a while if needed just let me know first. This is a project car it needs quite a bit of TLC I did my best to describe it but please ask questions if you have any.

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
