If you are looking for a perfect looking car with no blemishes, stop reading. This car was produced back when car companies were trying to save money and used inferior paint products. The clear coat has begun to peel.
So, what do we have here? A true muscle car. Over $15,000 has been invested into this car, mostly between the motor and transmission. A custom made 3 inch catback exhaust has been installed. This is a car for a true enthusiast, not a cheap beginner car for teenagers.
25th Anniversay, Black, 1992 Z28, Automatic, 5.7 liter engine with MPFI. 173,000 miles.
The good:
5.7 liter motor rebuilt less than 10,000 miles ago, easily 400+ HP
BBK throttle body
Edelbrock heads and headers
a more agressive cam than stock
Rebuilt transmission w/shift kit, less than 1,000 miles
Clean interior, non smoker, minor wear/tear on Driver's seat(see pic, from getting in/out), carpet is complete
Solid body, no undercarriage rust
Power windows, door locks, seat, steering, brakes
Cruise
The bad:
A/C need recharging (brand new compressor put in last year, system prob has a small leak)
Clear coat starting to peel in places
Minor damage to driver's front fender
2 small rust bubbles on roof (end of driver's door rail and passenger's side top of windshield)
Speedometer needs work (odometer works normally, wrong speedometer motor installed)
Computer eproms need to be reflashed to accomodate motor changes
I bought this car while I was in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii, and after retiring I moved to Iowa. The car has been stored winters since I brought it here, so it's not been exposed to the rust causing salts they use on the roads. I am guessing the previous owner had the windshield replaced as the one rust bubble looks like it was from a careless installer nicking the paint (see pic).
On the speedometer, it had started jumping 20-40mph and the shop replaced the motor on the instrument cluster. The speedomter started reading high (and the shop was bought out), so after a lot of research, I believe the motor they used is what they call an 8-pulse motor and the sender on my transmission is a 12-pulse, so the speed showed ~1.5x actual speed. It's currently set up to be accurate at 60mph, so it reads low <60 and high >60. As stated, the odometer works normally, it has a separate motor.
This car is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction with no notice.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
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.
