To start, this is a very rare V54 Option Corvette, only about 2,000 v54's were made and an estimated 150 exist now! The v54 components can be found selling for around $3,000.00 alone! Anyway this car is pristine! It's show quality! Within the last year it had a frame off restoration and a show-car paint job completed at the renown Stingray Shop in Marblehead Ma. This car really moves! With all the work done on it, you tap the pedal and your pushed deep back into your seat! It has 27,000 original documented miles, and clearly has been babied its entire life as seen in the interior. The interior is totally original, leather is perfect, carpets great (original corvette floor mats) Steering wheel is superb, everything works, and it's loaded! It has power locks, power windows, heat (which is hot), a/c (which is cold), power seats, and even a rear-defroster! It has perfect original glass T-tops, all seals are tight. The "floppy-lights" work perfectly and may be one of my favorite parts of the car! Everything is matching numbers of course, and the parts that have been replaced within the last year are... distributer and cap, alternator, starter, battery, horn, carburetor, and computer (which was custom made as they don't make good ones anymore). I have receipts from the last two years for over $15,000.00 which I would be happy to show any potential buyer. The paint job on this car is pristine, a lot of people say the paint on their car is perfect and then there are scratches and blemishes to be found... but this car had a show-car paint job just completed 3 months ago, you will not find a single imperfection... anywhere! The custom exhaust is adjustable for volume and performance, and Gas isn't even that bad on it, I typically get around 17-20 mpg. I am not happy to let this car go and definitely my favorite car in the world, but I'm moving across the country and won't have the space for it :( Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
