You're looking at my mostly original 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray t-top coupe. This is a numbers matching, original engine Vette. This car is a great runner. It was originally a pewter silver color but was repainted torch red by previous owner of almost 30 years! The paint job looks good but is not show quality (5-10 footer, nice and shiny, a few flaws up close). The car is highly optioned with tilt/tele steering wheel, power brakes, power steering, power windows, deluxe interior with leather seats, shoulder belts, and factory A/C. This car is a driver, so there are a few little flaws here and there. Nothing detracts from the beauty of this car though! It has a great stance and sits just right (not all goofy and jacked up because someone didn't know how to install new leaf springs correctly). The side pipes make it look even more aggressive, and it sounds amazing! The rear exhaust outlets are still present so if one wants to convert back to stock, it can be done quite easily. The original deluxe black leather interior looks good, but again it is in driver condition. The drivers seat cover has been replaced, passenger has not (looks fine, just not new). Carpets are decent. Door panels and dash are nice and original. All chrome is driver quality, again...original to the car. Again, this car has never been restored but it drives and looks good. The car is now sporting an LT-1 big block style hood, which definitely looks better than the stock small block hood (was swapped out when the car was painted red years ago). This has always been a Southern car and has no rust other than simple surface stuff which is normal for a 42 year old car. It has been garage kept all its life, and since 1984 (when the previous owner bought it with approximately 64,000 miles on it) it has only traveled an additional 16,000 miles +/- to it's current reading of 80,412. I was told by the previous owner this is original and has not rolled over. I drive the car on weekends so that number may go up slightly. The car is very strong, and pulls through all gears very well. The 4 speed tranny feels great. Tires and brakes are all good. The pop up lights work as they should. The wiper door works intermittently (probably a small vacuum leak). Interior lights work, as well as key buzzer and parking brake. I have the original radio/amp as well as an owners manual. The t-tops don't rattle, and this year still has the pop out rear glass window. Overall this is a fantastic Corvette that just needs a new owner. Drive and enjoy and restore as you go along if you desire. It is great looking and gets thumbs up every time I take her out! She's faster than my 1970 300hp Vette! This is not a $30k show car, nor is it a $10k beater. This is a basically 2 owner Vette that is mostly original (minus the color change, hood and pipes). I am a private collector thinning my collection (per my wife's request) from 15 down to 11 currently...she'd like it be 6. So, this sweet ride must go. I'm selling at NO RESERVE, so the last bid wins the car. PLEASE have all your ducks in a row, finances in order, and permission from your wife, boss, priest, whomever BEFORE bidding and certainly before winning! The car MUST be paid in FULL than no later than 5 days after auction ends. You don't have to pick it up by then, but it MUST be paid for by then. PERIOD. I have had 2 bad experiences in the last month with bidders not paying for 2 other cars I sold. I'm over it. This is not a game. It costs ME time and money to keep relisting. It's an auction. You win, you bought it. Car is for sale locally so the auction could end at any time. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to make an offer. All sales are final, no refunds and no warranty is expressed or implied. This car is 41 years old. It is a great driver and will give you years of fun. If you want perfection, go spend $30-40k for a restored one. If you want killer looks, performance, and a blast to drive at a fraction of that...then buy mine. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Remember, this is a no reserve auction..so bid high and bid often. Last bid wins! Good luck!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
