Just a few hours left. Don't miss out on this incredible deal on probably the most fun car you will ever drive!
If you are looking for a car that is very fun to drive, in amazing condition, and reasonably priced given the
extras (> $20K spent on modifications) this could be exactly what you are looking for! It is very low mileage, and
in great shape. Take a look at the attached Oil Analysis photo from 17K miles that states the oil is what they
would normally find at 4,100 miles. It is rare to find a built car like this that was not abused and doesn't have a
ton of miles on it. That car is very special.
I am the original owner of a low mileage daily driver C5 that is adult driven, stored winters, and meticulously
cared for. It drives like a normal Corvette until you get on the gas a little and then it becomes a torque monster.
This triple-black naturally aspirated beauty has all of the most desirable features, such as heads-up display,
magnetic selective ride control, and dual roof panels (smoke and black). No accidents, floods, or other bad things
have happened to this car. It has been truly been pampered and is in great shape.
The car was modified by Phil Rickard from Dynotech Engineering (DTE) in Fort Wayne, IN based on my goals (power,
speed, drivability, and a cam that is not too lumpy). He is a perfectionist with a ton of experience and success,
and took the time to understand my goals and created a customized package. Work was done in two phases (custom
grind cam (unique cam lobe geometry based on his racing experience that outperforms other cams) and differential
first (Stage 2+, nearly a stage 3 racing differential), then heads and Fast 90 / LS2 intake the following year).
AFR205 heads were volume balanced to have identical compression in all cylinders, and then port matched with Fast
90 (which was also "blended" - inside pathways enlarged and smoothed out for increased air flow). Finally, a stock
Z06 Titanium exhaust catback was installed. The car has a beautiful sound and the mild cam is barely noticeable
when idling, but sounds very exotic when revved.
Gears switched from 3.15 to 3.42 (Z06 shot peen hardened, with additional cryogenic hardening) and differential
blueprinted and significantly strengthened and improved. The DTE differential - transmission strut brace added for
increased strength. A Z06 rear spring and front / rear anti-sway bars were added during the last modification. I
had Baer Eradispeed "Plus" (larger two-piece) drilled & slotted rotors, Carbotech brake pads, and Earl's
Performance stainless steel braided brake hoses for improved braking. Elite Engineering "Abs of Steel" tunnel brace
to stiffen the chassis and improve handling. It also has Z06 factory rims. The suspension modifications help
balance out the power modifications to create a car with incredible power and handling!
Most OEM parts kept and included if wanted (valvetrain upgraded on heads, throttle body ported and polished, cam
and pulleys, rotors and brake pads, original headlights, still have original catback if desired but don't have
original exhaust manifold or original rims). They are something you could sell or use to bring the car back to
original if ever desired.
The attached dyno graph shows the initial stock results (it did have a K&N air filter at the time), second results
with a custom grind cam and QTP Tri-Y long-tube headers (great for torque), and final results with AFR 205 heads
and Fast 90 intake. Dyno testing performed with unlocked torque converter (more torque but less horsepower) and
closed hood (less air but more accurately represents real performance). Notice how quickly the torque ramps-up and
stays-up.
This car also has the Elite Engineering gas pedal that matched the brake pedal and their PCV catch can. I also
installed an interior insulation kit (behind seats to the rear of the car) and added a rear carpet insert to
minimize the additional sound from the headers. The interior is nearly as quiet as stock, and is very comfortable
for long trips.
The car has been very well maintained and cared for. The only problem I've had was a "parasitic loss" last year
that was tracked down to the driver's seat control switch (a fairly common problem). The seat had to be removed I
had an upholstery person modify the driver's seat to replace worn foam with denser foam, and alter to create a
better, firmer fit. It looks stock but feels better, is far more comfortable, and really helps hold you in place. I
also replaced the battery last year when initially troubleshooting this problem.
When the car is cold and started there is a very slight rattle under the car that originates behind the catalytic
converters. I brought this to a mechanic and he told me that one of the hangers for the Ti exhaust had stretched
slightly. The rattle disappears in as little as 5-10 seconds, and has not persisted for more than a minute (very
seldom more than 20-30 seconds). It is minor so I have just left it as-is.
From 3'-5' away you can't really notice the paint issues, but I'm very picky and want to be completely up-front.
The biggest issue with my car is the same as most Corvette's of this era - the factory paint job was not the best.
There is a small 1" or so drip on the driver's door that was hidden under the body side molding - found when I
removed that molding. The factory clear coat is soft and scratches easily. There is some orange peel in a couple of
areas (example shown in a rear close-up photo). There are a few scratches (light - nothing deep, and in the 3"-6"
size range), paint chips (most covered with touch-up paint), and some light pockmarks on the rocker panels from
being hit by dirt and gravel while driving. I've tried to document these problems in the attached photos, but
sometimes it is difficult to show (or even see from a few feet away). If you have questions or would like to see
something from a different angle I will try to respond to all reasonable requests.
Thank you for taking a look.

Recharge Wrap-up: EVs poll well in Portland, Tesla seeks office space
Tue, Aug 5 2014In a poll of drivers in Portland, more than 80 percent said they would be driving an EV in the next 10 years if they weren't already. The poll was small and not scientific, with just 218 votes cast, but it does reflect a slice of a certain population with changing attitudes toward electric mobility, and 80 percent is an impressive figure. Additionally, 43 percent of respondents planned to have an EV in the next five years, and only 18 percent said they prefer gasoline-powered vehicles. With EVs in many ways repeating the adoption process that hybrids went through a decade ago, the five- or ten-year timeframe for more widespread use seems only natural. Read more at the Portland Business Journal. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee parks like an idiot, or rather, his security detail does. His Chevrolet Volt has been ticketed for parking six times since he took office. Granted, those street-sweeping signs are tough to keep track of, but his car has been photographed blocking at a bus stop while grabbing a burrito (who hasn't sinned in the name of a delicious burrito?), and was even caught parked in a crosswalk. The tickets were all dismissed. Read more from the SF Gate. Tesla is looking for office space in Silicon Valley. As the electric car company continues to search for a place to build its $4- to $5-billion battery Gigafactory, it also needs some real estate to expand its operations near its Palo Alto home. Tesla has expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 California-based employees since the end of 2012, and plans to add 500 more by the end of the year. It is currently looking for 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space close to its Fremont factory, according to sources in the real estate industry.

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
