1998 Chevy Corvette convertible I can and will e-mail more pics upon request
The first picture is how the car looked before IPS got a hold of it. I added a couple pics they sent me as Livernois was building the engine. And one picture of what IPS did on their joy ride when they were suppose to be breaking in the engine.
Totaled - not by me, I took it to IPS Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio. They dropped in a brand new LS3 fully built (details below) and a new clutch. They were putting break in miles on it before dyno tune and the guy was hot rodding it joy ride and threw it into a brick mailbox enclosure. There insurance was going to repair the car b/c of all modifications that was done it was worth a considerable amount. I did not want the car back, I wanted an untotaled car like what I had. They weren't going to do that. My attorney got the car totaled at a lesser value so I could get more out of it (since I got nothing out of IPS). So here it is forsale. The price of reserve is less than what the engine has in it. Basically buying a full built complete brand new engine and getting a car with it for less than what the engine alone is worth.
Engine -
- LS3 Darton Sleeved Block
- Manley Forged Crankshaft
- Diamond Forged Pistons
- Total Seal Steel Rings
- Trend Heavy Wall Wrist Pins
- Clevite Coated Bearings
- ARP Main Studs
- Sleeved
- Deck Plate Honed
- Align Honed
- Main and Rod Clearances Set
- Stroker Clearance on Block
- Radius/Prep Block
- Balance Crankshaft
- Prep Block Oil Passages
- Prep Crankshaft Oil Holes
- Fully Assembled
This car also has custom paint on hood and decklid (no good), The hood is good still, Ghost C5 emblem on it. The front bumper shaved emblem and license filler is molded in. Along with functional z06 screens in front bumper and function rear z06 screens, Ace Slick Z07 wheels, 2" adapter on rears for L5 Flares, slotted and cross drilled zink coated rotors all 4 corners, and blacked out front turn signals. ACI front ground effect with a ONE OF A KIND ACI SAVER / SPLITTER, it is made out of stainless steel. Car is lowered 1.5". 19x11 rear (one needs replaced) 18x9.5 front
As the car sits... This would make a great start to a Factory 5 five Racing GTM car. All front end suspension is good. Most of body is good besides Doors needing some repair along with convertible lid cover and the passenger L5 quarter and rear bumper. Decklid and driver quarter need replaced. The car can't be started. The lower bell housing along with full exhaust (minus headers), drive line cover and anti sway bar IPS still has. Don't ask me how they can get away with that but they did.
This car was an all out show car for me. I only took it on nice days to work and took it to shows. I did not race the car. I don't know what all would take to rebuild it. It is more work than it's worth to me. That is why I am selling it as a car but you buy the engine and get the car with it. If someone were to buy the car and part it out, I don't doubt that they could get double the price they buy it for. I'm not in for parting a car though, it takes forever and I just want it gone. If there are any questions please e-mail me thru ebay. I reserve the right to sell locally. And buyer handles all shipping/towing. Thank you.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
