Up for auction is our 1982 Collector Edition Corvette, we started to fix this up for my wife but have too many irons in the fire to complete it. There were 6,759 of these cars made in 1982. This car has a clear Oregon title, the crossfire injection motor was rebuilt (numbers matching long block) by Portland Engine Rebuilders (Larson and King). The rest of the engine assembly and installation was done by an ASE Certified mechanic. The engine has not been fired since being rebuilt. We purchased this car as a project, we have not ever tried the power stuff (windows, locks, seat, etc.)
The car comes with the new in the box GM mirrored glass T-Top panels, we have purchased two new wheels with center caps, the a/c condenser was tested (it's good) and repainted. We installed a new carpet kit, there are new carpet pieces for the seat backs as well. The factory standard options are: Original leather interior (in decent condition), power driver seat, power radio antenna, storage compartment cover, air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, disc brakes and a lighted vanity mirror for the passenger side. All 1982 Corvettes had an automatic transmission, manual transmissions were not available in 1982. Rear glass hatch window *****
The car still needs to finish being assembled, it needs a new windshield, and radiator. The body of the car is in great shape, it should be repainted to look really great but it is ok for a driver. This will be a great car, it just needs some assembly.
**** All of the shocks, latches and such are in the car for the rear hatch glass, however we do not have the correct glass for the car. We do have a standard non hatch glass for the rear. The standard glass can be installed while you track down the hatch style glass piece.
Please contact us with any questions. If there is an area you would like a photo of that is not shown in this listing, please let us know. Buyer is responsible for transportation of the Corvette after the auction has ended. Buyer has 30 days to remove the car from our property. $500 non refundable deposit is due at auction end via Pay Pal, we prefer to have the balance paid in cash. Local delivery can be arranged within 100 miles of Portland Oregon for an extra fee. We are not selling this car with a warranty or any guarantee given or implied.
Thank you for looking and good luck.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
