1999 CHEVROLET EURO VETTE CONVERTIBLE. These Corvettes were produced in Bowling Green right along side all the
other Vette's, but with options for European export. We've all seen the old classics, and who wouldn't like to own
one of them? I knew a guy that had a 69 L 88 back in the mid seventies, he flaired the fender wells, put some big
tires on it and raced that ol' Vette all over town. Then he got married and settled down, I remember the day I
stopped by his house and setting in the driveway in the place of that Vette, there sat a brand new Ford LTD. I'll
bet he wants to slap himself every time he thinks about that L 88. But you know, we all did the same thing, I owned
a 64 1/2 GTO and a 67 Camaro SS, sure wish I'd held on to at least one of them, oh well, it's all water under the
bridge now. I think that's what you have here, the opportunity to purchase an extremely rare car. GM only made a
few, best calculation is less than 100 of the Euro Vette Convertible's were produced in 1999. Out of the whole C5
production run from 1997 to 2004 not more than 5000 Corvette's were exported to Europe. This listing is a very real
chance to own a genuine low production Chevrolet Corvette. Most of the options are subtle, the average person
wouldn't even notice. An extra light here or there, the button for the trunk release was relocated from the dash to
the console, on the dash where the trunk button was located, now there is a switch to control the back up fog
lamps. The oil pressure gage is in kPa and the water temp ins in Celsius, but no one is going to mistake that 300
mph speedo. To many Euro options to list here, I'll put a photo of the RPO codes in this listing, you can look them
up yourself if your so inclined. This car was originally titled in Gombrook, Manchester, England. the original
owners brought the car to the US in 2003. I purchased the car in January of 2006. I have always treated this car
gently and kept it in the garage, the motor and drive train do not have any issues. I service the car regularly and
only use Mobil 1 oil, has new tires, A-C blows cold air, heads up display, the interior and exterior look great. In
1999 GM didn't produce very many Corvette's for European export, a couple of hundred total, and of these no more
than 100 were convertibles. That being said, it doesn't take a genious to figure how rare of an opportunity you
have to purchase what is sure to be a classic. Cars like the 1969 L88 Corvette, low production numbers are what
made those cars what they are today. That's what's being offered right here, it's just a 1999 Vette, but with the
European export options, this is a genuine GM product with less than 100 examples in the world. I heard about a 63
Euro Vette that sold for 350 grand a couple a years back, that car wasn't really anything special, the kicker was
that it was a low production European export. Put 30 more years on this car, no telling what it'll be, because you
know, those crazy driving Europeans will wreck all there Vette's by then, this might be the only one left, who
knows.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
