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.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet'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.

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.

In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps.
