Nice 1986 low mileage Corvette Coupe.  81876 miles.  The engine is the tuned port, fuel injected L-98.  In 2010, $2000.00 was put into the engine.  A bearing had spun, so the engine was taken out and steamed cleaned the block and the crank was turned down .010 and new rod, main and cam bearing were put in.  New high volume oil pump was also put it in as were new injectors (Ford Borg Warner).  They atomize better with 3 orifices as opposed to the single for the Vette injectors.  New water pump, thermostat, timing chain, serpentine belt, tensioners etc.  Also a new rack and pinion.  I traded valve covers with our 73 Blazer as I thought the orange color gave the under the hood look a little more color and people liked it.  The oil pressure is very high all the time having to do with the high performance oil pump and of course the new bottom end and has a heavy duty radiator and a radiator boost fan in addition to the regular radiator fan.  (fans are designed to turn on at 229 degrees), Corvette want high engine temperatures for best performance.  The new thermostat is 190 degrees. It has an engine oil cooler and the performance handling package and includes the Delco-Bilstein shock absorbers. It has power drivers seat, power locks, power windows, removable plexiglass roof panel (blue tint) which is weather checked (looks like little cracks) from age but still very service able), Electronic air conditioning control and converted to 134 and blows cold. It has cruise control, the stereo system is Delco-Bose and the radio/CD player is after market Sony. The retractable antennae works fine. The transmission is the Turbo Hydra matic 700 R-4 4 speed automatic. The car fast and the engine has a nice powerful sound to it.  The performance handling package (basically heavy duty) gives it a slightly higher stance than the regular Corvette 12821 were give this option. (looks Cool).  We averaged around 14 to 17 MPG in the city and up to 20 to 24 in the country.  It has a new block heater.  We never ran it in the winter as it was stored in a heated building.  There were only 128 Vettes made with the blue metallic color.  The tires have maybe up to 20000 miles of wear left on them.  They are the larger P255/60VR16.  It's a real fun car and handles and runs superbly.  There are a couple of dings and I've included them in the photos.  The major one is around the upper part of the riders side wheel well which shows it in photo #8.  It needs to have a little more professional attention to it and the right turn guide light lens needs to be replaced with an original lens.  Photo#9 shows the rider's side rear where the paint had pealed off slightly. Photo #10 shows chips by driver's door.  Photo #11 shows a scuff on rear driver's side and photo #12 show chips above driver's side wheel well. The interior color is called Graphite.  Photo 20 and 21 show the roof cover off and stored in the rear.  We hate to part with it but my son is in college now and I'm a disabled Vietnam vet and we need the money, so it has to go.  Remember this is a 28 year old car, but I believe one of the finer examples around, most of it's life has been in storage.  The NADA guide values this Vette at $19750 for high retail.  The average retail is $11700 and low retail is $7282.  Value wise we feel this Vette is somewhere between the high and average retail and way, way above low retail in value.  Purchaser will need to put a down Payment of $500 within 24 hours to Paypal. The remainder at pickup or within 7 days by way of cash or certified funds. The sale is for "as is' where is".  The vehicle will need to be picked up within 2 weeks as we are loosing our storage for it.  If payment in full is not made within 7 days then after the 7th day it will be relisted for sale or sold to the next highest offer.  I can deliver the vehicle at a cost of $1.00 per mile, please contact me if you have plans for that so we can make arrangements.  We have this car for sale locally so the Ebay listing may end early. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions please contact me.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
