1998 Chevrolet Corvette Manual Trans, New Clutch, Z06 Diff, Carbon Targa Top on 2040-cars
Phillipsburg, New Jersey, United States
|
For sale is my beloved Nassau Blue 1998 Corvette coupe. I've owed the car for 3 years, put nearly 38,000 miles on it, done virtually all the work myself (Dad and Grandpa were both mechanics, and I'm pretty hardcore for a shade-tree). Currently at my house near Easton, PA (18042). I've loved this car to death, but I'm doing pretty well financially and am looking to upgrade, possibly to a C7Z. With that in mind, I have designed this ad to be as transparent and direct as possible about all advantages and problems of this car:
In June, I completed an absolutely biblical 100-man-hour upgrade/maintenance program for the car, including the following: New C5 Z06 Clutch New Flywheel Pilot Bearing New OEM Clutch Slave Cylinder New OEM Clutch Master Cylinder Tick Performance Speed Bleeder New Torque Tube Bushings New Fuel Filter New C5 Z06 3-Rib Differential (No while or hum at all, period) including diff seals Trans opened, serviced, including fastidious resealing. Exterior of the trans and rear end are absolutely BONE DRY. The driveline and rear suspension were thoroughly cleaned when dismounted as well. Additionally, the following modifications/replacements have been done in the last couple years: 7-Layer custom carbon fiber targa top from user SOCalVettes with UV-proof clear coat New GM OEM targa top weatherstrip (not the $30/side Ebay stuff, the real deal, have receipts) 00-04 TPMS upgrade package with new FOBS courtesy of GM Parts House C5 Z06 shocks Metal sway bar end links New Starter New Trottle position sensor TB, air filters fully dismounted and cleaned in the last 4 months New Ignition Switch C5 Magnesium competition wheels (No curbing/digs, but the finish is chipped on two of the wheels in a couple spots)\ Carbon wrapped fuel door (have original in perfect condition included with car) C5 Z06 titanium axle back exhaust. All fluids except brake fluid have been done recently. Oil just changed with Mobil 1 (always) and a Bosch filter in May, 87% left according to the clock. I have put 650 miles on the car since these repairs with zero issues, including city driving, commuting, highway, and even a number of extremely rapid pulls. No leaks, No chatter. No overheating. No problems. Car has 118,000ish miles on it. Yes, that's a fair amount, but the engine idles flat as a table, does not burn or leak any oil, and the car now has a substantial number of high price wear components that are newer than what you'd get on a car with super low miles. Only problems with the car are normal under-front-bumper chin scrapes, a small 1" scratch on the passenger door, a weak passenger side window regulator (still works fine) and the driver's power seat struggles a bit moving forward only, but starts fine with a little nudge. $500 deposit due in 48 hours of auction close. You are bidding for the opportunity to own this car, not the opportunity to think about it if your settlement comes in or your boat sells. Contact me by message to view/test drive the car before bidding, otherwise, I have described the car's condition accurately. For sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. |

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.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
