This beautiful, smooth running V-8 convertible is great for cruising around town or long road trips.  Very reliable with an electronic ignition and rebuilt TH-350 transmission.  The engine has the original Rochester carburetor and a newer GM Performance air cleaner.  The exhaust system has been upgraded with Hedman headers and full Flowmaster dual exhaust.  It sounds amazing!  It also has a new battery, new alternator and reconditioned radiator (and new hoses).  The brakes; discs in front and drums in back work fine, but need new pads and rotors.  The carb could use a tune-up and the sending unit for the gas tank is not very accurate.

The exterior is rust free and has been repainted with period correct Flame Red with clear coat.  The chrome bumpers are in good original condition with a few small stone chips and the front bumper has a small dent in the corner (see pics).  The badges and emblems are all in place.  There are a few small stone chips on the front edge of the hood.  The side mirrors are 1970 Camaro/Chevelle sport mirrors.  The wheels are aftermarket  16" Rallys and the tires are fairly new with about 5k miles on them.  The convertible top is in ok condition, it doesn't have any holes or tears.  But, it shows a bit of wear.

The interior is refinished black vinyl and the carpet is new.  It has brown stock GM lap belts and I have black aftermarket lap belts included.  The heater/defroster work as do the windshield wipers and windshield radio antenna. All of the gauges work. There is a  Rockford Fosgate CD head-unit and new speakers.  2 tweeters, center 4" and rear 6x9's.  It sounds OK, not great.  The power top works but struggles on the way up.  It usually requires a hand assist to get it fully closed.  The trunk is clean and rust free, with a full size spare and original jack. The windows are manual roll down, the rear passenger side window pops out of its track occasionally.

Overall, this is a very reliable, fun, daily driver or weekend cruiser.  I have tried to give as much info as I know, but I am not a mechanic.  The car has been basically trouble free and now is starting to need some TLC.  I don't have the time to keep up with it, so unfortunately I should sell it to someone who can.  I will be sad to see it go.  If you have any questions or would like to see it in person, send me a message.

Please, only serious bidders and NO TRADES.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
