This Car runs and drives Excellent, it has always been garaged and has been taking care of in terms of my ownership.
Brake Calipers, pads, rotors, and caliper lines have been done.

The Wipers on the car work just fine also. so do the headlights.

This Corvette offers the perfect class for a real restoration.  Every part is there , and there is no searching for parts on the car in terms of providing a complete restoration!

The interior of the Corvette is in Original Condition as you will see in the pictures, the dash does have little cracks and the door panels are weathered and the seats will eventually have to be redone.

The Gm original T-top bags are still there also as a plus.  One bag does have a hole in it.  The T-tops themselves are in good and shape and function like the should.

The Glass in the car is also in good shape and both power windows work.

The car also offer a Laugauge rack for travel. Factory alarm also- that I don't have the key for.

The gauges on the car work also.  The speedo has a quiet tick to it because i think  the odometer might be disconnected -it does not work also the clock does not work.

The radio in the car is updated -(looks original) and you can add a cd changer if desired.

The heat and blower control does work in the console-the ac is all intact and retrofitted.

The big block 454 runs fine, good oil pressure and does not over heat.  The vette shifts excellent and the clutch has a good grab to it.

This car is a totally different animal vs. a small block Corvette.  When you drive a Big block car-you will not want a small block anymore!! 
The Power and Torque that a 454 offers is significant over thhe 350 small block motor!

Turn Key- and I kept it up to road standards- shifts great. Enjoy!

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
