You are bidding on a 1986 C4 Corvette. The car will run and drive, but it overheats. It overheated, and picked up a "rough" run. I got into an engine upgrade for the car, and started taking it apart. At this time I noticed the area between the radiator and condenser was about 3/4 full of leaves. Also the inertia ring was off the balancer. Thought maybe that was the overheating and rough run. Put new balancer on and new thermostat, and reassembled. Car still overheats. head gasket? cracked head? I don't know. It will run for 20 min to half hour then gets hot. Battery is dead, but it can be started and driven for a test drive or driven onto a trailer just fine.
I want to make it clear that I am unsure of the "actual" miles on the car. I bought it with 141k. Used it some. But I doubt its over 150k. (like I said battery is dead cant read odo.)
Car drives fine, for an 86. I love to drive it. Car is complete. Dash light up most of the time, if not a "smack" gets it lit.prob a weak ground. All gauges worked last time I drove it. Needs a paint job, as clear is pealing, and a car cover played havoc on the paint. The rear carpet is all sun dried, and need replaced. Balance of interior is fine for an 86. It has a Delco Bose radio, and I feel it sounds excellent. Heat A/C worked fine, no freon in it now tho, never recharged after I put it back together. Headlights open and close just fine. Cruise doesn't work.
Tires are good, just guessing at 60% thread er better....but i don't know the new tread depth on Dunlap's.Windows are old GM typical slow. One door entry lock is drilled out, I have new one's which I never installed, to go with sale. I have the original window sticker, which has been plastic covered. Typical of GM no headliner. Has removable fiberglass roof section.
I purchased the car on E bay a couple of years ago, in Florida, and drove the car home to Texas. The car is in Freeport, TX. Which is aprox. 65 miles south of Houston.
I purchased a 95 Corvette LT-1 engine and transmission complete. All wiring, engine and dash and engine ECM, radiator w/fans and complete shroud, radiator fill tank, condenser, a/c hoses, heater core and box, Clutch, flywheel,bell housing, slave w/pedals, and drive shaft. The trans is a ZF-6spd blue tag. There is probably more I'm not adding here, but I believe I have more than an engine changeover would need. If bid winner is interested in the complete "package" I'd want 1k additional, I paid more.
I have no time, and really no place to change the engine anymore.
Payment, $500.00 within 48 hours after close of auction. Balance due Within 7 days. Email me thru E bay me if your the winner and phone numbers exchanged, and P/U arrangement's can be made.
THIS CAR MUST BE TOWED / TRAILERED. I HAVE NO WAY OF DELIVERING THE CAR. I WILL HELP AS NECESSARY IN LOADING THE CAR.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet 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.
