This is a very nice surviving, unrestored car with matching numbers. Always garaged. I purchased this car about
nine years ago from a Corvette dealer based on the no-hit body, integrity and overall originality. Other than the
4-Speed, radio, shoulder belts and the fully tinted glass, it is a no option car. As a road race enthusiast, I
wanted it this way to feel the briskness of the road and the simplicity in ownership.
The original color is Goodwood Green. The car was painted in lacquer 35 years ago and it is holding up great with
no cracking but does have some nicks. This color is Riverside Gold that the original owner thought might look good
and he wanted a change. The Interior is 100 percent untouched original and only the carpet is showing any signs of
age. Even the original clear plastic floor mats are still with the car.
About nine out of ten mid-year Corvettes have blemishes and imperfections in the paint. It is just an inherent
trait with older fiberglass cars. So, in a sense, these cars always need paint jobs.
The original door waist seals and fuzzies are present and are in very good condition. This is where the window goes
down into the door...those outer seals.
The engine is matching numbers to the car’s original and unmolested data plate under the dash. It has never been
apart. All engine bay components are original and matching to the car. Only the water pump was replaced (original
is included). The engine does feature the dealer added correct 350hp alloy valve covers. I rebuilt the original
Holley carb with ethanol friendly components and used the blue Holley gaskets. I also just installed an ethanol
friendly OEM fuel pump.
In my ownership, I have replaced the rear mufflers with Magnaflows, added new stainless rear tips and new chrome
bezels. I replaced the rocker panel covers and replaced the sill covers. I rebuilt the left headlight motor so that
it matched the speed of the right side and I had the front end aligned with the steering wheel perfectly centered.
This cars drives tight and smooth. They are only original once.
The stance is excellent, nice and low and level from left to right. The car tracks perfectly down the highway and
is a joy to drive. There are no cracks on the dash top and no rips or tears in the seat upholstery. The engine is
quiet, transmission shifts perfectly and rear axle geared 3.36:1 is quite.
This is a great candidate to restore, scuff and respray back to Goodwood Green, convert to a 427 clone or
Pro-Tourer. I looked at over 25 cars before buying this car for it’s originality and perfect panel fit. The
bumpers were replaced with NOS units and they are pristine.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog. Related Video: Transport Canada Recall # 2016053 Recall Date 2016/02/04 Notification Type Safety Mfr System Brakes Manufacturer Recall Number 20760 Units Affected The number of vehicles or components affected by the recall. 46,837 Category Light Truck & Van, SUV Recall Details On certain Heavy Duty and Police Pursuit vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may become loose, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative. If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.
