This is a nice Corvette, that I would like to keep, however my financial situation requires that I must sell it. It has approximately 82,000 miles on it. We acquired it at 72,000 miles from the owner at the time in Atlantic City, NJ, so there is very minimal surface rust on exposed metal parts on the underside (basically rust free) It had a spun bearing so we trailered it back to North Dakota and then completely dismantled and steamed pressured/boiled the block and rebuilt the entire engine with new GM parts, with the exception of the injectors which are Borg Warner Ford, which are better and make for faster acceleration than the GM Corvette injectors due to better atomization utilizing 3 orifices as opposed to a single one for Corvette. Mileage in town average 14-15 mpg and country as high as 21/23 for a combined 17/19. The tires are in fair to good condition. The plexiglass top (removable and storable in the back hatch) is speckled due to aging but still strong and functional. The A/C has been converted to 134 and works very well as does the heating system. It has the high pressure oil system so even at idle it doesn't get below 40#'s and normally is 60#'s or more at higher revolutions, if my memory is right. It's meant to take high HP output for extended periods of time. The cooling fans for the radiator doesn't come on until 229 degrees and works flawlessly. (high oil pressure and high engine heat equals optimum performance). I put a remanufactured rack and pinion on it due to leaking. The Vette came factory equipped with high performance suspension so the ride is a bit choppy but has excellent handling qualities. The tires are the larger 255's. I replaced the Corvette valve covers with regular GM covers as they add some color to the under the hood set up. It has a Sony am/fm/CD radio and retractable radio antennae. There are two places on the body where I did a touch up on the paint or fiberglass. Above the right wheel well the fiberglass was chipped so I filled it in with Bondo and sprayed a fairly close match, but one day a professional should touch it up. On the right rear, near the taillight, paint had chipped off so I spray painted that and got it close, but again a professional could fix it up better. The headlight assemblies work perfectly. The blue color was relatively rare for that year. The photos I've attached were taken last summer so the mileage is showing higher than in the dash photo. Photos with the Vette on the trailer is when we brought it back from New Jersey in January of 09. The photos also show the blems that I mentioned earlier that I have since covered up but should be retouched by a professional and that is the area over the right wheel well and the rear tail light right side. It's a fun Vette to drive, it sounds nice and will get you from point A to point B rather fast if you need to. If you need assistance in delivery I may be able to help you in this regard for a nominal fee, my phone number is 701-238-1695. The Vette is presently in covered storage, so arrangements should be made in advance so the vehicle can be taken out. I can store the vehicle for up to 3 months, but of course full payment within 7 days of sale. Note: Because the Vette is in storage, I'm using my memory on mileage, but I believe this to be close to 82,000+ which is actual. The Vette has been stored inside most of it's life so the paint still looks pretty good. I did a NADA blue book and it show that the low retail is $7227.00. The average retail is $11590.00 and high retail is $19530.00. I feel the value is somewhere between the average and the high, when you read the descriptions for what those ratings are, so probably around $15000.00.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:

Chevy Silverado gets star-studded treatment at SEMA

Tue, Nov 3 2015

Chevrolet has quite a presence ready for the 2015 SEMA Show, including custom takes on the Camaro and Spark. As one of the company's most popular models, the Silverado isn't left out of the fun, either, thanks to a trio of concepts to highlight what's possible for the aftermarket event. Camouflage is supposed to blend in, but the naval-inspired, Razzle Dazzle design on the Silverado Special Ops Concept should make the truck pop under the lights at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Based on a Silverado 1500 Z71, the pickup is conceived as a "rescue vehicle special-operations forces." To get behind enemy lines, it packs extra LED lighting, wheel flares for off-road tires, and a GearOn utility rack in the bed. Plus to help get away, Chevy Performance fits an air intake, exhaust kit, and concept six-piston brakes. The Silverado Realtree Bone Collector Concept (above) also wears camo for SEMA, but it's for enjoying the outdoors rather than getting out of battle. Camouflage company Realtree and The Bone Collector host Michael Waddell help with the design for this custom truck that features 22-inch black wheels, a front push bar, LED light bar, and assist steps all from Chevy Accessories. With leather upholstery, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto inside, the drive to and from the woods should be comfortable, as well. The Silverado 3500HD Kid Rock Concept rounds out this trio and features patriotic styling from the eponymous rock star. "I wanted the design for the truck to be bold, but with features and elements that wouldn't be out of reach for working-class guys," he said about the design, and Kid Rock even visited the factory in Flint, MI, to meet members from UAW Local 598 for some inspiration. The result features a custom chrome grille with a Born Free logo and chrome exhaust stacks. For added excitement, two Gibbs Sports Quadskis are hooked up on the trailer behind it.

It is based on the Silverado 1500 Z71, which features a new front-end design and new technologies built into its strong, high-strength steel body structure and fully boxed frame, and draws its design inspiration from naval design aesthetics.

Jay Leno gets pulled over while roaring in a Corvette Z06 convertible

Tue, Jan 6 2015

No one is above the law, even if that person is a certain silver-haired auto enthusiast with a popular weekly video series about the cars in his garage. This week, Jay Leno experiences the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06, but he also gets to have a meeting with some of California's Finest immediately after a high-speed blast. As opposed to the full-bore Z06 coupe with the seven-speed manual, Leno gets behind the wheel of the slightly heavier convertible version with the eight-speed auto. Being a droptop doesn't bother him too much, but Leno makes it obvious he wishes that he could be shifting for himself. Even if the auto is technically quicker, Leno says that swapping gears gives him something to do while driving. Of course, one of the major advantages of the convertible is the ability to listen to the Z06's thumping V8 unimpeded. With 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from 6.2-liters of supercharged muscle, it already puts down impressive numbers, but the sound might just be the best part of all. Around town, the 'Vette is quiet enough to easily blend in with the rest of traffic. However, tip the throttle down and the valves in the exhaust open up to turn the engine into roaring monster. Be careful where you make this thing howl, though, because it's pretty easy for the police to take notice. The host finds that out the hard way in this week's episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
