You are considering an all original 1982 Corvette. The last of the C3 corvettes. The only fuel injected C3. This car has been perfectly stored and preserved. As you can tell by the condition of the chasis, the car has never been dirty. The original shim counts are still in the fenderwell in yellow marker. The original paint dobs (blue and orange) are still on the front suspension. The car comes with window sticker and build sheet. I also have the original date coded tires (the goodyears) on the original wheels. Check out the build date in yellow stencil on the frame!! Yes!, that IS the original paint!! The interior is also ALL original with NO fading or discoloration of the carpet as you would see on a car that had spent time in the sun. All guages work perfectly as does the clock and stereo. I stored the car for 6 years before sending it to a restoration shop to be gone through. All low mileage 30+ yr vehicles must have this done before you can confidently drive it anywhere you would like. This means replacing and inspecting all rubber hoses, grommets, bushings, seals,gaskets,and body mounts. The entire original brake system has been rebuilt as well. The restorer went to great lengths to keep this car original so we replaced as little as possible,rebuilt what we could at a much higher expense than just garage repair. The air conditioning works flawlessly as do all systems on this car. This car is ready to be performance verified and judged at any local or national NCRS event! The expense to bring this car up to this level was right at 12K and I will provide you with the documentation for that as well. All work was completed in April of this year and 150+ miles have been driven the time of this posting. The paint,interior,engine compartment, and chasis needed little to no detail work. We did not want to cover up the story of a survivor. Everything including all options on this car operate as new. I do not believe you will find a better 1982 Corvette. I am showing this car in other places so I do reserve the right to end this showing at anytime. Thanks for looking.

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 warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
