This is a 1989 Corvette Coupe that was purchased new at Mountain View Chevrolet in Upland, CA. The family that owns it now is the second owner, as they purchased it from an elderly gentleman on the same block and have known the car it's whole life,
In a moment of weakness, I agreed to help them have the engine rebuilt, and it has inhabited my driveway since then. It was having head gasket issues, so we removed the engine and took it to Waynes Engine Rebuilder's in Riverside, CA who went through it completely with new pistons, rebuilt the heads, etc and returned it to us a complete long block in a bag ready to install. Receipts will be included with the sale. We installed all new cap, rotor, wires, battery and so forth when we reinstalled it.
The transmission was completely gone through recently as well, with all heavy duty parts and a nice shift kit. The car still has the original paint, and as you can see in the photos it is experiencing classic GM clear coat fade and could use a repaint.
The car runs and drives well, I took it around the block this morning. The exhaust has been upgraded with Flowmaster mufflers, and there is an Edelbrock/BBK Throttle body as well. Other than that it is factory original. All the headlights, digital dash, power accessories function properly. The seats are the original leather, and have experienced some cracking over the years and will need to be recovered.
It needs some finishing touches, such as final tuning, There is an aftermarket electric fan solenoid that is in there haphazardly that should be redone, and the power steering cap is cracked. The air conditioning needs to be recharged as well.
Overall it is a very solid original piece, with most of the mechanichal restoration done. It needs someone to take it the rest of the way. I can put you in contact with the owner if you have any more questions, please message me your contact info.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
2022 Genesis GV70, raging at VW ID.4 tech and thoughts on a new Lexus LFA | Autoblog Podcast #696
Fri, Sep 17 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. This week, they talk about driving the Genesis GV70, VW ID.4 and VW Taos. They talk about ways Chevy could "fix" the Camaro. James ranked all the James Bond films based solely on their starring cars. Next, they reach in the mailbag and discuss the question, "Do you think Lexus will make a successor to the LFA and, if so, what do you guys think it would be like?" After ruminating on that query, they dip into the mailbag a second time to recommend a sporty crossover to a listener in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
