This AMAZING 1997 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe was one of the last projects undertaken by Custom Car Legend BOYD CODDINGTON before his untimely death. Boyd and his crew worked their magic on my customer's Vette as a gift .. but the value of the Boyd work alone is valued at $25K or more... plus add in a great condition, very well maintained C5 Corvette with show-stopping Black paint with the new Boyd glove-soft red leather interior. The owner of this car is more meticulous than even an airline pilot.. and after Boyd bestowed this car with it's beauty six years ago the owner barely drove it to keep it pristine in his honor.. but now it's time to send it to a good home, with someone who will appreciate it's place in Car Customizing history...
Here are just some of the juicy details: Airflow system etc has increased the horsepower to over 400 hp, Battery Kill Switch, DVD, mult-disc CD, Back-up Camera, Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler, Toggle Switches, Glove-soft bright Red custom interior w/Corvette embroidery, Custom red disc brakes, $4000 worth of glittering Savini Forged Signature Wheels & Nito tires.. 20" in back, 19" up front, cell phone holder, Polished aluminum shift knob, Bose Stereo, Air effects / spoiler, mesh grills, leather sun visors, tinted window and sun roof panel, Chrome roll bars, high-quality matching red carpeting .... I'm sure I am forgetting something, but you can be assured this is one of the nicest C5 Vettes around.. eveyrone pays attention to it.. and don't let the 125,000 miles deter you since the owner of this car has always maintained it above & beyond the call of duty and improved it... and with Boyd's touches, you can't go wrong with this head-turning black beauty !!!!
PS - the Auto Check on this car shows a manufacturer callback at the 30 mile point when it was brand new... that means that whatever was wrong with it way back then was rectified right away by GM / Chevrolet and the car was as good as new after that.. our current owner has had the car for over 10 years and never had any problems , just regular normal routine maintenance and minor repairs... also, I have owned many C5 Corvettes and I have driven this one several times and it runs and drives almost better than new due to the Boyd Coddington touches and the owner's loving care and mantenance... it drives more like a car with just 30 or 40 Thousand miles and not like a car with over 100,000 miles.. so buy with confidence.. this is an amazing car for the money !!!!
Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car.
Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money ! Best, Steve in Las Vegas cell 213 500 8619

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
