Royal Oak, Michigan, United States
This beautiful, smooth running V-8 convertible is great for cruising around town or long road trips. Very reliable with an electronic ignition and rebuilt TH-350 transmission. The engine has the original Rochester carburetor and a newer GM Performance air cleaner. The exhaust system has been upgraded with Hedman headers and full Flowmaster dual exhaust. It sounds amazing! It also has a new battery, new alternator and reconditioned radiator (and new hoses). The brakes; discs in front and drums in back work fine, but need new pads and rotors. The carb could use a tune-up and the sending unit for the gas tank is not very accurate. The exterior is rust free and has been repainted with period correct Flame Red with clear coat. The chrome bumpers are in good original condition with a few small stone chips and the front bumper has a small dent in the corner (see pics). The badges and emblems are all in place. There are a few small stone chips on the front edge of the hood. The side mirrors are 1970 Camaro/Chevelle sport mirrors. The wheels are aftermarket 16" Rallys and the tires are fairly new with about 5k miles on them. The convertible top is in ok condition, it doesn't have any holes or tears. But, it shows a bit of wear. The interior is refinished black vinyl and the carpet is new. It has brown stock GM lap belts and I have black aftermarket lap belts included. The heater/defroster work as do the windshield wipers and windshield radio antenna. All of the gauges work. There is a Rockford Fosgate CD head-unit and new speakers. 2 tweeters, center 4" and rear 6x9's. It sounds OK, not great. The power top works but struggles on the way up. It usually requires a hand assist to get it fully closed. The trunk is clean and rust free, with a full size spare and original jack. The windows are manual roll down, the rear passenger side window pops out of its track occasionally. Overall, this is a very reliable, fun, daily driver or weekend cruiser. I have tried to give as much info as I know, but I am not a mechanic. The car has been basically trouble free and now is starting to need some TLC. I don't have the time to keep up with it, so unfortunately I should sell it to someone who can. I will be sad to see it go. If you have any questions or would like to see it in person, send me a message. Please, only serious bidders and NO TRADES.

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds
Sun, Dec 28 2014We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 engine blows up at just 891 miles
Thu, Jan 1 2015You've waited and watched and waited some more for the arrival of your 650-horsepower, $78,000 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Finally, that joyous day arrives and you eagerly, but gingerly, begin to break-in the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster under your hood. Then 900-odd miles after delivery, your excitement grinds, quite literally, to a halt. That's what the owner of one 2015 Z06 claimed happened to him when a simple break-in drive resulted in a lunched engine. The owner, known as Lawdogg149 on Corvette Forum, says he was out breaking-in his car ahead of a January track event when it happened. "While making a pull from 35 miles per hour, I accelerated and shifted short of redline, and boom - the car began knocking. I pulled over and popped the hood. I could hear a loud knock coming from the No. 6 cylinder area along with a serious, grinding, metal-on-metal sound coming from the supercharger area," Lawdogg wrote. A subsequent trip to the dealer confirmed his concerns, with the service facility telling Lawdogg that the No. 6 valvetrain had failed. The dealer couldn't research the issue further, though, as General Motors requested the engine be returned for a more thorough evaluation. The good news for the Z06's unlucky owner, at least, is that GM will be covering the engine replacement under warranty, an expense that Corvette Forum estimates is a nearly $24,000 procedure. At this point, the two leading theories behind the engine's detonation involve a manufacturing defect – which could be why GM is so keen to tear the blown powerplant down – or a mistake on the part of Lawdogg. As Motor Authority points out, such an error could be something as simple as the Z06's owner accidentally shifting to first rather than third during his 35-mph pull. If, however, there's a deeper manufacturing problem with the Z06's engine, this might not be the only case we end up hearing about.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
