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.

Camo'd Chevy Camaro ZL1 is one bad boy

Tue, Sep 15 2015

Thanks to a fresh gallery of spy shots, we're getting a much better look at the next Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 during its development, and this machine is looking seriously mean. Unlike the last photos, the heavy cladding is gone from the body this time and is replaced by a camouflage wrap. That switch makes checking out the details a whole lot easier. The first thing you'll notice at the front is the massive grille that looks ready to devour anything that gets in the way. To add a little more menace, the lower air dam appears to jut out a bit more, as well. While harder to see in these latest shots, our spies say the hood still boasts an extractor similar to what's found on the Cadillac CTS-V. The big, double spoke wheels look great in black and really dominate the styling in profile. Look past them, and you notice some tweaked side sills, as well. At the very back, you can also spot some styling adjustments to the rear bumper. There's an unmissable wing back there, too. The powerplant for the ZL1 is still a mystery, but it's rumored to use the LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8. The similar hood design as the CTS-V is one piece of evidence to support that. Even with the same engine, Chevy's engineers could tweak the output higher or lower than the Caddy. The wait to find out isn't too long because the ZL1 is anticipated to launch for the 2017 model year. Related Video:

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
