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.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
