You are bidding on a beautiful 1975 Corvette T-Top. The car has been recently restored by a professional, Michigan registered repair facility. The paint is a 3 stage candy apple red and is absolutely gorgeous. Nothing but the highest quality materials and paint were used on this car. The body is in excellent shape, no cracks, scratches, chips, etc. The under carriage has also been professionally prepared and undercoated to ensure many years of enjoyment from this vehicle. The black interior is in decent shape. The seats, carpet, connsole, and dash are all in good shape. The motor is a carburetted 5.7 liter (35). It has a edelbrock carburetor, aluminium intake. It has accel coil in distributer w/8.8 Accell plug wires. It has an aluminium edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers. Other features include, headers and duel exhaust with flow master mufflers. The motor was originally equipped with A/C, but the pump has been removed, probably to increase horsepower. The odometer currently reads slightly under 88,100 but may increace in mileage if we decide to drive this car to local car shows. The car has chrome crager wheels that are in very good shape, there may be minor flaws that are hardly noticable, you may find some slight peeling and small corrosion upon close inspection, but the wheels still look very good and shine well. The front tires are Radial GT HP 4000 P 245/60 R15 and rears are P275/60 R15 and tires are have 60% Good tread. Lots of miles left on them. The stereo is a Panasonic CQ-C11010 50 Wattx4 CD player. Car has factory tachometer and a 8000 RPM Sunpro tack attached to steering column. Transmission is an Automatic and shifts good and smoothly. Shifter on floor (console), all chrome, emblems, trim and T-Tops are present and in good shape (original). Imperfections on this car are minimal. The headlights are up all the time. I haven't had a chance to diagnose the problem since Corvette's are not my specialty, if we don't sell the corvette quickly I will fix the headlights when I get a couple other projects out of the way. I don't think it will take much to fix the headlights. The interior has some imperfections, scratches on headliner . Some cracks in rear panels (Behind Seats). The heater blower switch is bad, heater blower motor works fine (has been tested) the switch is bad. The driver side window goes down fine, when going up it needs guided by hand. Again I haven't had a professional look at it. It does go all the way down and 3/4 of the way up without assistance. This car is in excellent mechanical condition (Other than issues listed). The brakes are like new, pads, rotors, callipers etc. The shocks are good the rear has air shocks on it. The front and rear bumpers have been smoothed out. No gaps or waves that most Corvette bumpers have. Extra time and money were invested in this cars body work and paint work to get it to look as beautiful as it does. The pictures of this car do it no justice, the color is beautiful, and the shine is as good if not better than any Corvette around. It has chrome Hot Rod style mirrors on both driver and passenger side. (They look good) This whole car was water sanded and buffed to a lustre that will even stand out at car shows. All lights, blinkers, power windows, etc. works fine. As far as the motor and transmission, everything seems to run extremely well, the motor seems to be very tight and strong, and the transmission shifts with absolutely no apparent problems. It was very smooth riding for a Corvette. We have have a lot of time and money invested in this car and we realize you we will not be able to recoup all all of our investment considering the time and effort that has put into this vehicle. I find it hard to believe that you would ever be able to get this much car, looking as good as this one does, and have it professionally done, with the the low reserve we have placed on this corvette. My local bank says this car has a loan value of $15,500 in average condition, and a loan value of $24,000 in excellent condition. This car's exterior is in excellent condition, and the car's interior is in good to high average condition for it's age. We would encourage you to come and look at this vehicle before you purchase, or if you are unable to come and look at it, we would encouarge you to get an independent inspection. We are confident this car would have no problems passing an independent inspection. This car, as with all used vehicle, sold in Michigan is being sold "AS IS" and Without a Warranty. Is is your responsibility to do you homework when buying any used vehicle. If your the winning bidder a $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours is expected. I have 100% positive feedback, for a good reason, because I am honest with the condition of all items I sell. Do not bid if you don't have access to the money or financing!!! The restoration of this cars body would cost a minimum of $10,000 and that's on the low side considering its a 3 stage candy paint, with extensive priming and blocking and all that goes with the show quality paint work. If you are interested in financing this vehicle I would recommend going through Hagerty Classic Cars. They may be able to finance it for as low as 5.99% w/ a small downpayment. Payments based on $16,000 w/small down would come out to about $250. per month. Hagerty Insurance can insure this corvette with "full coverage - no deductible" based on good driving record for around $350 per year. My local bank may be like your local bank, who said they would loan up to $24,000 on this vehicle for as low as 1.99% interest. If you have any questions you may call Scott (who has done all the work on this vehicle and knows this corvette inside and out) at 517-960-9363 or Byron at 517-474-0627 We are anxious to sell this vehicle so the reserve is set very low. It would be a great loss to us if this vehicle sells barely over the reserve price. I have tried to be totally honest about every known issue or problem with this vehicle, however, this car's few imperfections are greatly overshadowed by the beautiful condition and eye appealing look of this corvette. If you are the high bidder, you must put a $1,000 non-refundable deposit on this vehicle within 24 hours of the close of the auction.

The seller has the right to end this auction early if this vehicle sells locally.
On Mar-13-13 at 12:31:19 PDT, seller added the following information:
*Please note: I placed a low interest loan on this vehicle when the restoration was complete and bank said it could take until the 1st of April to get the title back, therefore you may have to wait until the April 1st to receive the title to this vehicle. I will post and update in the auction if the title arrives to me before the end of the auction. I guarantee the title will clear and sent with the vehicle.

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.
GM is the latest automaker accused of diesel emissions cheating
Thu, May 25 2017Volkswagen and Ram need to make room on the diesel-emissions bench for General Motors. America's largest automaker was accused in a lawsuit on Thursday of rigging hundreds of thousands of diesel trucks with at least three so-called defeat devices to ensure that the trucks would meet federal and state emission standards, even if they generated more pollution in real-world driving. According to the complaint, on-road emissions testing conducted for the plaintiffs found that Duramax-equipped trucks produced NOx pollutants, comprised of nitrogen and oxygen atoms, two to five times higher than legally permitted, and "many times" higher than their gasoline counterparts. The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Detroit on behalf of people who own or lease more than 705,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks fitted with "Duramax" engines from 2011 to 2016 model years. The lawsuit seeks remedies including possible refunds or restitution for lost vehicle value, plus punitive damages. It adds to legal problems for Detroit-based GM, which has already paid about $2.5 billion in penalties and settlements over faulty ignition switches linked to 124 deaths. GM joins at least five automakers whose diesel emissions have been scrutinized by regulators or consumers. They include VW, which has admitted to cheating; Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler; Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Peugeot and Renault. GM spokesman Dan Flores called the claims "baseless," and said the trucks comply with US Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards and California's own tough standards. Shares of GM were down 69 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $32.50 in afternoon trading, after earlier falling to $31.93. The GM lawsuit was filed by several law firms, including Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, which helped reach multibillion-dollar settlements with VW on behalf of drivers and dealers. The case is Fenner et al v General Motors LLC et al, US District Court, Eastern District of Michigan, No. 17-11661. The named plaintiffs are Andrei Fenner of Mountain View, California and Joshua Herman of Sulphur, Louisiana. They said they would not have bought their respective 2011 Sierra and 2016 Silverado trucks, or would have paid less for them, had they known about the alleged rigging. Joseph Spak, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, in a research report said "negative publicity" from the lawsuit could drive buyers to trucks from Ford or even Fiat Chrysler's Ram.
Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men
Tue, Apr 7 2015The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
