1998 Corvette, Silver with Red interior. As a former Corvette Shop owner (I retired last December) I frequently ran into good deals and this is one of them. I bought this car about a year and a half ago from the local BMW dealer who took in as a trade-in and then called me to give me the opportunity to buy the vehicle wholesale. Why would they do that? Because I have a friend that works there and this car has had around $5,000 spent on it prior to trade-in and it would be a shame to just wholesale it. I bought it on the spot. Since then, I have put less then 1000 miles on the car and repaired a few minor problems.
Prior to trade-in -- 4 new Pilot Sports, new ZO6 Calipers, New slotted Rotors and ZO6 Titanium Exhaust. Additionally, the stock wheels have been chromed. I repaired the radio and the driver's sport seat.
Everything works and the car is fully equipped with selective ride control, sport seats, glass top (only), power windows, door locks and seats. AM/FM CD radio, intermittent wipers, cruise control, cold AC and dual climate control. No chips, cracks or stars in the windshield. MPG is about 30 on the freeway if you keep your foot out of it.
The tires have less than 1000 miles on them still look new. The car runs great and I would not have a second thought about driving it to New York tomorrow. I drove this car on Corvette Club functions for the past year without any problems.
Minor Issues: Driver's seat bottom while not ripped, the thread is starting to pull at the seams (see pictures). There are a couple of small scratches (touched-up) on the car and a few rock chips (mostly touched-up) on the hood. The driver's floor mat (that protects the carpet) needs to be replaced.
My reserve is less than the price I paid for the car, so there is the potential of a very good deal here -- thousands below Kelley Blue Book. Since selling my shop, I have way too many cars without room to keep them. My loss your gain. Please ask questions and look closely at the pictures. This is a western car that has lived in California and Nevada and has no rust issues.
Clear California title in hand.
If at all possible, please make arrangements to see and drive the car. This car is sold as is, where is with no warranty. I will work with the buyer for shipping if necessary.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
