1986 Chevy Corvette 5.7l V8 41k Original Miles- No Reserve on 2040-cars
Broad Brook, Connecticut, United States
|
We have the paperwork from when we purchased this car in 2004 for $8,250.00 with 38,851 miles. It now has 41,228 miles. Everything is all original. Recently done: This vehicle is not in mint condition however, it was recently painted. The body is very clean. The interior could use a good bath and conditioning. The seats do have some wear but no tears. The floor mats have some slight discoloration (see pictures). The car needs new weather stripping. The horn is no longer functional. Dash display sometimes fades out. If you tap dash it turns back on (loose wire?). We did however spend over $4,000 in the last couple of years between new injectors and a paint job. The motor runs fantastic. The car runs incredibly strong with a fantastic deep V-8 growl. The transmission shifts smoothly. The power steering works great. We hope to find it a good home with someone who will make her perfect and love her for a long time. Currently it is stored away for the winter so if you are local and would like to come see it we would need a few days notice to get it out, hook up the battery,and add on collision insurance. Please, serious buyers only. We are expecting our first child in April and we have to get this car sold. This is why we have no reserve. If you have any questions please contact us through ebay or you can call Greg at 860-209-6186. This car is for sale locally and online so this auction may end at anytime without warning. |

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
