Chevrolet Corvette 2-door Coupe on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:139600 Color: T
Location:

Maynard, Massachusetts, United States

Maynard, Massachusetts, United States

You're looking at a nice, Black on Black C5 Corvette Coupe (less normal wear and tear). This car runs and drives great despite its mileage. The engine is very strong with no known issues. Three of the four tires are newer (according to previous owner), chrome rims with red Z06 break calipers. Overall, this is a real sharp Corvette with tons of eye appeal. The reason I'm choosing to sell this car is because I'm thinking about going back to a C3. 

History: I purchased this vehicle in May of 2011 from a neighbor and replaced the driver side tie rod along with all brand new brake pads and rotors (only 2000 miles on them). Also recently purchased (May '13) BRAND NEW Z06 Red brake calipers, BRAND NEW car battery and BRAND NEW Z06 floor mats for both driver and passenger side. This is a no-hit Corvette with a clean Car Fax. 

Exterior: This Corvette has a ton of eye appeal, with a removable hard top and black original paint, tinted windows with normal wear and tear (minor scratches, pings) and looks very good for a 16 year old car. I would rate the appearance a strong seven to eight.

Interior: Black leather seats in good condition, Bose CD stereo sound system. All interior lights, gauges and electronics appear to be in good operable condition with the exception (at times) of the driver side electronic mirror which seems to stick. Automatic transmission. Carpet throughout is really very good, front and back. Overall, the interior is in great shape and makes this vehicle even more appealing. There is a slight seam separation on the driver seat left shoulder side (can be seen in single seat pic). I would still rate the overall interior appearance as an eight. 

Please note: Original break calipers (all four) and original floor mats will accompany the sale of this car along with two sets of keys, car cover and auto manual.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
