See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"See item description."

This 1985 Corvette runs good and should be quite drivable. It sat in the previous owners garage for many years not running until I purchased it and got it going. Mechanically it looks to be in good condition.. I have recently replaced the fuel tank filler assembly (including fuel pump, strainer, and level sensor), distributor cap and rotor, driver side power window motor and rack, fuel filter, and valve cover gaskets. The catalytic converter was also replaced with a new California Magnaflow unit. It also has a new Interstate battery. Car passed smog well with emissions being around the middle of acceptable limits. The original valve covers were damaged by the previous owner, so I replaced them with stock appearing stamped steel types. I do believe this to be the original corvette engine. Transmission is free of excessive noise and shifts well. Car does not appear to leak oil.

This corvette does however need some mechanical more work. The front tires are well worn and the rear tires have cracks from sitting around too long in dry Nevada. The AC clutch is not receiving power. I suspect a relay to be at fault as the fuse is good. The power door locks, interior lights, and radio do not function as well.

The Exterior is in overall good condition but the paint is oxidized on the doors, nose, and left rear quarter panel. The oxidized paint does appears to polish out to a nice shine. With some effort, the paint should be able to be made to look pretty good. There is some small fiberglass damage in the front of the hood , on the front side panel, and there is some paint cracks in center of hood. Other then that typical scuffs and scratches for a car this age. See pictures.

The Inter is in fair condition. The rear carpet is in serious need of replacement and the door panels are starting to delaminate and separate. The seats appear well used but are in otherwise in decent shape. The dash pad is free of cracks. The steering wheel is aftermarket but I do have the original. The original wheel however does need restoration of leather. The left front Bose speaker is out of the car and is in need of a new amplifier board.

I am selling the car because I simply have too many projects and not enough time. My asking price is quite firm. I have tried to give enough detail of the good and bad characteristics, but this is an old car and may have other issues. I encourage any interested party to come look at the car before committing to buy, as I expect the buyer to complete the transaction. I accept only cash payments and require it within 7 days of auction end. Please contact me if you have any more questions or if you want to come look at the car. Thanks for looking at my listing.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012

Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
