If you google 1993 Corvette Specifications, you will see that the torch red exterior with the torch red interior, was the poster child for 1993, however not very many were produced. Only 14% of the corvettes in 93 were manufactured with a torch red exterior and far, far less than that percentage, were made with a torch red interior, to go with it. This car also contains the the deluxe option package of torch red leather, adjustable power seats (almost $2k) and combining of all those factors, I have never seen another one like this. The car also has a one piece removeable roof which is also factory painted, torch red. The GM factory spec sheet says that they were only made in blue or bronze tint, so I'm not sure if this was a special order or not but at the least, is very rare and unusual. Unfortuneately GM does not keep those records. The car contains GM's premium, 'corvette preferred equiptment group one', their top of the line option package (see original window sticker) which added alomost $5k to to the base package and includes; a electronic climate control system, a Bose music system, including am/fm, cd and cassete, leather adjustable power sport bucket seats, selective ride control, larger tires and has beautiful gold kick plates on each door with the '40th anniversary' logo, as well as the 40th anniversary logo embroidered on each seat headrest.The car's sticker price was $39,974 and add to that dealer added options of clearcoat coating applied to the paint and dealer applied window tinting, with lifetime warranty and the car's total cost was $41,169. Add all these together and I don't think you can find another corvette like this one, a very classy combination. I've been told by at least three turnpike toll takers that its the nicest vette they've ever seen, regardess of model or year. Engine, transmission and drivetrain perform smoothly and flawlessly and the car has all the power and torque you could want. Not to be confused with the special 40th anniversary with ZR1 high performace package in burgandy. This model is a much better looking, classier and a more reliable car. My daughter stepped on the remote a few few years back, so although I have it, it doesn't work. I've seen them offered on ebay for $100-150 but I never bothered to pursue one. Tires are all very good, new parts include a new battery, new rear brakes, a new drivers seat pan with motors to make operation smoother. I've just had the AC upgraded to todays freon and AC system spec's, it's been certified it to blow cold to 43 degrees. Selling the car because I have sold the house and garage, that it's been stored in. The car comes complete with all the documentation that was provided by the dealer with the car, at the time of purchase, so the new owner will be assured it is 100% original and also provides historical traceability, very rare to have with any car. The documentation are all in very good condition and includes the following; the original window sticker, the original sales receipt, the original sales receipt for the dealer added options of Clear Coat and Window Tinting with the lifetime warranty card, the leather bound operators manual, the original coverage agreement papers for the GM protection plan, the dealers pre-delivery inspection procedure checklist, the original warranty paperwork, a corvette roadside assistance booklet, the chevrolet warranty and owner assistance booklet, a chevrolet owner satisfaction booklet, a corvette 40 year history booklet, the original corvette pen light, notepad and a 40th anniversary sweatshirt which has never beeen worn. See pictures for all of these items described. |

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas
Wed, Oct 3 2018The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet
Tue, May 9 2017When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
