"BARN FIND", This car has sat for about 20 years and is in good shape. * Mileage on odometer is 54,165 but title says not actual.* I am the second owner, as the original owner passed away recently and I purchased it from his family. This Collectors Edition would be a great candidate for a restoration project as it appears to be fairly complete. The frame is solid but has a coating of rust from sitting in a garage with a concrete floor. The seats, door panels, carpet, and trim are in decent shape. The windshield has a crack, the rest of the glass, including the T-tops are in great shape. The rear glass is heated and opens (Only the Collectors edition has this feature). The front bumper has some damage on the front right side, there are paint chips all over and the car could use a paint job. The engine has not been started and at present does not run. The brake bleeders were removed by the previous owners son in an attempt to move the car ( the parking brake shoes were frozen to the rotor hubs, and were removed) , so the brakes are not functioning at present. The rear exhaust was removed previously and comes with a new Y-pipe. I have done nothing to this car but transport it to my home, and only have knowlege which was passed on to me by the original owners family. I bought it with plans to restore it but have other projects which take precedence. This car comes to you as I got it and if you purchase it with the "buy it now", not only will you get the car, but you will also receive a beverage and snack when you come to pick it up (Must be trailered). A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 via Pay Pal is due upon winning bid/purchase with the balance due in __"CASH"__ "NO CHECKS"___ when car is picked up within 7 days! There are no warranties and is sold where is / as is. Questions are welcome. The zip code is 46385, Valparaiso, Indiana.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
