See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"See item description."

This 1985 Corvette runs good and should be quite drivable. It sat in the previous owners garage for many years not running until I purchased it and got it going. Mechanically it looks to be in good condition.. I have recently replaced the fuel tank filler assembly (including fuel pump, strainer, and level sensor), distributor cap and rotor, driver side power window motor and rack, fuel filter, and valve cover gaskets. The catalytic converter was also replaced with a new California Magnaflow unit. It also has a new Interstate battery. Car passed smog well with emissions being around the middle of acceptable limits. The original valve covers were damaged by the previous owner, so I replaced them with stock appearing stamped steel types. I do believe this to be the original corvette engine. Transmission is free of excessive noise and shifts well. Car does not appear to leak oil.

This corvette does however need some mechanical more work. The front tires are well worn and the rear tires have cracks from sitting around too long in dry Nevada. The AC clutch is not receiving power. I suspect a relay to be at fault as the fuse is good. The power door locks, interior lights, and radio do not function as well.

The Exterior is in overall good condition but the paint is oxidized on the doors, nose, and left rear quarter panel. The oxidized paint does appears to polish out to a nice shine. With some effort, the paint should be able to be made to look pretty good. There is some small fiberglass damage in the front of the hood , on the front side panel, and there is some paint cracks in center of hood. Other then that typical scuffs and scratches for a car this age. See pictures.

The Inter is in fair condition. The rear carpet is in serious need of replacement and the door panels are starting to delaminate and separate. The seats appear well used but are in otherwise in decent shape. The dash pad is free of cracks. The steering wheel is aftermarket but I do have the original. The original wheel however does need restoration of leather. The left front Bose speaker is out of the car and is in need of a new amplifier board.

I am selling the car because I simply have too many projects and not enough time. My asking price is quite firm. I have tried to give enough detail of the good and bad characteristics, but this is an old car and may have other issues. I encourage any interested party to come look at the car before committing to buy, as I expect the buyer to complete the transaction. I accept only cash payments and require it within 7 days of auction end. Please contact me if you have any more questions or if you want to come look at the car. Thanks for looking at my listing.

Mon, Apr 14 2014

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We 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.
