1999 C5 Frc (fixed Roof Coupe) Black On Black, 34k Miles, Perfect Condition on 2040-cars
Grants Pass, Oregon, United States
|
You are looking at a first year hard top Corvette. It is a rare FRC model (Fixed Roof Coupe). The FRC was first offered in 1999 and just over 4000 units were built. They were only offered in Black, Red, or White, and only with a 6 speed stick and black interior. Only 1227 black models were made. The FRC became the chassis for the ZO6 in 2001. I purchased this in 1999 and have been the only owner and driver. I have maintained it as an original factory car. It had Wet Okole seat covers on both seats until last year, so leather is brand new. Carpets and floor mats are perfect. No flaws or damages at all in the interior. It is clean throughout. Outside paint is as perfect as it can be. There are a couple of small nicks, one from a stone on the nose under the license plate, and one from the handle of the garage door on the rear panel just above the license plate. Both are touched up and hard to notice. Paint has been cared for with 3M products for swirl removal and buffing, Finish First for polishing. Wheels are the original alloy but have been chrome dipped for a beautiful finish. Tires are Toyo Proxes T1R with 2000 easy miles on them. Brakes are upgraded to ceramic pads. System flushed every two years. Oil has always been Mobil 1, changed spring and fall. Only changes to stock is the air intake to a K&N cold air box (I have all of the original parts boxed) and a Cat Back Stainless Steel 4" Billy Boat exhaust that gives the car a mellow purr on normal driving, but with a raspy bark on acceleration, very nice. All windows are tinted black and both license plates are behind tinted Plexiglas covers. Car looks like a shiny black panther ready to leap. Drives great with very tame clutch. Acceleration is impressive and handling is extremely stable at any speed. In fact, the faster it goes, the better it handles. Has traction control and can be turned off with a push button on the console. The car can get 31-32 mpg on the highway in 6th gear. Around town with normal driving gets 19-22 mpg. Not bad for a performance car. Gotta love the 6 speed stick. This car could become more valuable as the first ever Corvette FRC. I've maintained it with that in mind. It is also a great driver, so you choose. This car has never had to deal with bad weather. Only in rain a couple of times, never in snow or wind. Always kept in a climate controlled garage with my other babies. Always washed with soft water. Sale includes a 3 volume factory shop manual (never used), fitted car cover, mats, jack pucks. Time to move on and make room for something else. I'll be sad to see him go. Still excites me every time I get behind the wheel. Buy this car with confidence that you are getting a show room condition Corvette that turns heads everywhere. Contact me with any questions or requests. I'm also happy to make the car available for inspections. BTW; In 2005 it won best in class at the famous Vettes in the Rockies in Breckenridge, Colorado. It looks exactly the same today. Cheers.....Les (Did I mention only 1227 were made???) |

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
