You are bidding on a beautiful 1975 Corvette T-Top. The car has been recently restored by a professional, Michigan registered repair facility. The paint is a 3 stage candy apple red and is absolutely gorgeous. Nothing but the highest quality materials and paint were used on this car. The body is in excellent shape, no cracks, scratches, chips, etc. The under carriage has also been professionally prepared and undercoated to ensure many years of enjoyment from this vehicle. The black interior is in decent shape. The seats, carpet, connsole, and dash are all in good shape. The motor is a carburetted 5.7 liter (35). It has a edelbrock carburetor, aluminium intake. It has accel coil in distributer w/8.8 Accell plug wires. It has an aluminium edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers. Other features include, headers and duel exhaust with flow master mufflers. The motor was originally equipped with A/C, but the pump has been removed, probably to increase horsepower. The odometer currently reads slightly under 88,100 but may increace in mileage if we decide to drive this car to local car shows. The car has chrome crager wheels that are in very good shape, there may be minor flaws that are hardly noticable, you may find some slight peeling and small corrosion upon close inspection, but the wheels still look very good and shine well. The front tires are Radial GT HP 4000 P 245/60 R15 and rears are P275/60 R15 and tires are have 60% Good tread. Lots of miles left on them. The stereo is a Panasonic CQ-C11010 50 Wattx4 CD player. Car has factory tachometer and a 8000 RPM Sunpro tack attached to steering column. Transmission is an Automatic and shifts good and smoothly. Shifter on floor (console), all chrome, emblems, trim and T-Tops are present and in good shape (original). Imperfections on this car are minimal. The headlights are up all the time. I haven't had a chance to diagnose the problem since Corvette's are not my specialty, if we don't sell the corvette quickly I will fix the headlights when I get a couple other projects out of the way. I don't think it will take much to fix the headlights. The interior has some imperfections, scratches on headliner . Some cracks in rear panels (Behind Seats). The heater blower switch is bad, heater blower motor works fine (has been tested) the switch is bad. The driver side window goes down fine, when going up it needs guided by hand. Again I haven't had a professional look at it. It does go all the way down and 3/4 of the way up without assistance. This car is in excellent mechanical condition (Other than issues listed). The brakes are like new, pads, rotors, callipers etc. The shocks are good the rear has air shocks on it. The front and rear bumpers have been smoothed out. No gaps or waves that most Corvette bumpers have. Extra time and money were invested in this cars body work and paint work to get it to look as beautiful as it does. The pictures of this car do it no justice, the color is beautiful, and the shine is as good if not better than any Corvette around. It has chrome Hot Rod style mirrors on both driver and passenger side. (They look good) This whole car was water sanded and buffed to a lustre that will even stand out at car shows. All lights, blinkers, power windows, etc. works fine. As far as the motor and transmission, everything seems to run extremely well, the motor seems to be very tight and strong, and the transmission shifts with absolutely no apparent problems. It was very smooth riding for a Corvette. We have have a lot of time and money invested in this car and we realize you we will not be able to recoup all all of our investment considering the time and effort that has put into this vehicle. I find it hard to believe that you would ever be able to get this much car, looking as good as this one does, and have it professionally done, with the the low reserve we have placed on this corvette. My local bank says this car has a loan value of $15,500 in average condition, and a loan value of $24,000 in excellent condition. This car's exterior is in excellent condition, and the car's interior is in good to high average condition for it's age. We would encourage you to come and look at this vehicle before you purchase, or if you are unable to come and look at it, we would encouarge you to get an independent inspection. We are confident this car would have no problems passing an independent inspection. This car, as with all used vehicle, sold in Michigan is being sold "AS IS" and Without a Warranty. Is is your responsibility to do you homework when buying any used vehicle. If your the winning bidder a $1,000.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours is expected. I have 100% positive feedback, for a good reason, because I am honest with the condition of all items I sell. Do not bid if you don't have access to the money or financing!!! The restoration of this cars body would cost a minimum of $10,000 and that's on the low side considering its a 3 stage candy paint, with extensive priming and blocking and all that goes with the show quality paint work. If you are interested in financing this vehicle I would recommend going through Hagerty Classic Cars. They may be able to finance it for as low as 5.99% w/ a small downpayment. Payments based on $16,000 w/small down would come out to about $250. per month. Hagerty Insurance can insure this corvette with "full coverage - no deductible" based on good driving record for around $350 per year. My local bank may be like your local bank, who said they would loan up to $24,000 on this vehicle for as low as 1.99% interest. If you have any questions you may call Scott (who has done all the work on this vehicle and knows this corvette inside and out) at 517-960-9363 or Byron at 517-474-0627 We are anxious to sell this vehicle so the reserve is set very low. It would be a great loss to us if this vehicle sells barely over the reserve price. I have tried to be totally honest about every known issue or problem with this vehicle, however, this car's few imperfections are greatly overshadowed by the beautiful condition and eye appealing look of this corvette. If you are the high bidder, you must put a $1,000 non-refundable deposit on this vehicle within 24 hours of the close of the auction.

The seller has the right to end this auction early if this vehicle sells locally.
On Mar-13-13 at 12:31:19 PDT, seller added the following information:
*Please note: I placed a low interest loan on this vehicle when the restoration was complete and bank said it could take until the 1st of April to get the title back, therefore you may have to wait until the April 1st to receive the title to this vehicle. I will post and update in the auction if the title arrives to me before the end of the auction. I guarantee the title will clear and sent with the vehicle.

GM files to trademark name Badlands
Mon, Feb 23 2015If 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.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers
Fri, Jan 1 2016Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:
GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
