After owning my dream car for over 16 years I have decided to sell my baby and find a new love. This sale is for my ridiculously clean 1987 Corvette that I purchased July 17 1997. It had 39000 miles on it then and now has 44970 on it. It has been my baby since then and I have taken care of it very well. There are numerous upgrades done to it for better performance while still being very reliable if you chose to drive it more regularly than I have. The exterior is Light Blue Metallic and is in excellent shape. The front bumper has some small nicks on it and a small chip or two. The interior is extremely  clean and taken care of, the grey cloth seats are perfect and have no tears or wear through them. The door panels are in very good shape with no damage or cracks. The dash functions as it should but sometimes I feel it is not as bright as I think it should be. I have not taken apart the dash and cleaned the sensor eye to perhaps improve that. When I purchased this car in 1997 I wanted to have the fastest, cleanest C4 there was so I started to remove all unnecessary items in the car that did not help performance. I removed all wiring to the radio, speakers and theaftermarket radio that was in it and also the spare tire and carrier. I do not have these items anymore. I also removed the cruise control module that went above the battery in the engine compartment. Some of the upgrades I have done to the vehicle are:                   -Installed TPIS shocks, installed an open air filter housing and a smooth plastic air intake duct, installed bosch platinum +4 spark plugs and TPIS plug wires, installed TPIS long tube headers with no mufflers and just long stainless exhaust pipes. I have removed all smog equipment and have a stainless bracket kit in place of the smog pump. I installed a Tpis MINIRAM manifold which has made a BIG difference in performance. Also have installed a TPIS air foil in the throttle body. I have changed the rearend gears from 3.07 to 3.73 which was a great improvement! Also I had a B&M shift kit put in the transmission which gives it very firm shifts when shifting it manually which feels great as compared to letting it shift on its own. The car was and is one of my favorite designs ever and it will always be. But I dont drive it nearly enough as the miles attest to and with a family now perhaps a four seat sports car might be more practical. This car drives awesome and sounds amazing with the practically no exhaust on it and I would feel good driving it nearly anywhere (as long as its sunny and dry) . The car is exceptionally clean underneath and the engine compartment would compare I believe to almost anyone seen. I am crazy OCD with keeping my vehicles clean as you will see. The few negatives about the car is the A/C has never been charges since I bought it and doesnt blow any air out of the vents, not sure if the ventilation in the dash was disconnected when I removed the radio and equipment but the car is/was my sunny day baby and never really cared. I do not have the stock wheels just the aluminum ones on it that I have now. The front tires have good thread left and the back tires are BF goodrich drag radials and didnt have much to begin with new, probably have about 2000 miles on them. The power windows/locks/seats all work perfectly and the bronze clear roof has no crack but some crazing in it. The weather stripping is good except for the rear roof which if fine except for a small chunk taken out I think by the previous owner perhaps locking himself out? I replaced the fuel pump with a high flow pump when I installed the MINIRAM manifold and since then the fuel gauge is not as accurate as it should be. Not sure if I bent the arm installing it but have not tried to correct it. The only spot the carpeting is poor is in the hatch area where it has a few dry spot and doesnt look perfect.(I keep the sunshade over it now). Anyway the car will impress anyone looking to have the cleanest loudest C4 corvette around and it has low miles so its reliable and could be taken to carlisle or wherever with confidence. Please call or text me with any questions or if you would like to look at the car in its garage palace in northeast PA. I am asking 13000.00 for the car and I also have lots of paperwork, the original gastank build sheet, the two part shop manuals and a haynes manual for it. My cell number is 5706903159, Mark. Thank you very much for looking!

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
