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.

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

Our favorite mid-engine Corvette theories and rumors

Tue, Sep 13 2016

The mid-engine Corvette! We just saw blurry photos through the foliage, and are hearts are all aflutter because it means that this car is real. And it's the most " never before" Corvette since 1984. Which leads us to all kinds of wacky theories and speculation. Everybody knows something or heard from a guy. None of those guys (or gals) from GM are talking to Autoblog, to be clear. But that won't stop us from stirring the pot. Let's go over a few point-by-point. The pushrod engine will be replaced by an overhead-cam V8 Car and Driver has repeatedly reported that an overhead-cam engine will come after the mid-engine Corvette's debut with an old-school pushrod. We've heard the same thing firsthand, albeit from a source with no connection to the development of the Corvette or powertrain. "At some point two valves can't pass future emissions regulations," said the guy we know. While the pushrod engine is compact, the design makes it difficult - if not impossible - for sophisticated variable valve timing (and lift) systems that control combustion with more precision. Hasty conclusion: The pushrod engine has a finite life in front of it. This one's a lock, it's a just a matter of when. Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million. Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.
