1985 Corvette hatch back, running driving project. new brakes, shocks, paint. rebuilt motor and transmission. Great project that you can drive! Engine and trans rebuilt by previous owner. Converted to Carb set up with Elderbrock, manifold and carb, headers. Exhaust is not loud! stock type. engine starts right up and runs smooth. transmission shifts fine. Paint is a fair job does have some runs in the clear coat etc and needs a good polish.Nice and shiny though. Runs cool no overheating problems. Gas tank has been cleaned out. I do have the original rims, TPI set up etc which comes with the car. She does not need a whole lot done to be a real good looking daily driver, mostly interior. New wood steering wheel. Some electrical issues such as, headlight motors, A/C. A/C does work.
The TPI set up is included with the car. You will need a good engine harness to reinstall if wanted. Slight valve cover oil leak on passenger side. Alternator overcharges per gauge. A load control switch like used for large stereo units will fix this cheap. Heater hoses will need to be hooked up, no leaks.
Dash gauges are ok . Gauge cluster is good. Please ask all questions before you bid. Although the Corvette does run and drive it is a project car.( mostly interior, cosmetics.) I am having back issues and will have to give up on my hobby. I have about 5 grand in this car by the way so she is a great deal. Pay Pal or cash only. $500 deposit nonrefundable through Pay Pal.
I do have most of the trim, Corvette emblems etc, Thanks Happy bidding!

I have only driven the vette about 50 miles at a time. I would not attempt to drive it across country! I listed it as a running project not a finished ready to go car! Would it make a 1000 mile trip? Probably so, but why chance it!

Just a few more details, A/C Heater control is inoperative,heater hoses need to be hooked up. Heater core is good no leaks. Head light motors need the relays, I think the headlight motors are good. Alternator overcharges a bit, needs a regulator. Drove it yesterday ,starts right up even in the cold. Steering is good and tight.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
