I am the second owner of this 1982 Corvette Sport Coupe. It still has its original dark claret paint (1 of 853), with original red leather interior. This car has just under 38,000 miles and starts, runs, shifts and stops like a new car. I have owned this car since June 1991. Id like to sell
only because Im moving to a smaller house with a smaller garage. The only non original items on the car are the KYB shocks, the stainless steel lined brake calipers, master cylinder, distributor cap/ coil (have originals along with distributor cap shielding cover) , plugs and wires.
Also, the original radio was replaced with an Alpine unit prior to my ownership, BUT I have the original radio IF you would like to change it back. The original paint has numerous chips and scratches BUT it shines like glass, the original bumpers have the typical age wave to them
here and there. Im sorry to say there has been a small touch up to the paint on the drivers side fender and door, done prior to my ownership... its an area about 2 foot by 2 foot that was not "blended" in professionally. I have lived with it over the years just because I dont want to
disturb any surrounding factory paint. This car has never had any body damage and has no frame rust, except for some surface rust to clips, and exhaust parts.. The interior looks excellent considering it is all original... the glovebox door has been signed by Zora Duntov, Larry
Shinoda and Dave McLellan.... with pix to prove it. However, the pix dont show Dave McLellan signing. I also have the window sticker. The exhaust system is all original and the mufflers could stand to be replaced BUT I feel that should be up to the new owner to choose which way to go with it.... stock or custom.
The A/C works BUT it needs to be recharged...... blows "cool" at best..... It comes with a very nice T-top case and factory service manual. You may find a "more perfect" 1982 Corvette on ebay BUT it will run the same and cost a lot more. This is just a really clean original
unmolested Vette signed by Zora Duntov, Larry Shinoda and Dave McLellan. This car has a clear illinois title BUT has lived in my garage in Oceanside, California since October 1994. Now for the "fine print". This car is located in Oceanside California 92057. Buyer is
responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements. This is a 31 year old Chevrolet, therefore it is being sold "AS IS / WHERE IS" condition. There are no warranties written, expressed or implied. You or your agent are welcome to inspect the car in person.
Purchase, pay and drive home if you wish. Feel free to ask questions prior to bidding. $500 non refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours and the balance to be paid in cash within 3 days by the winning bidder.

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.
Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt
Fri, Oct 31 2014The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
