Are you looking for a pristine, numbers matching show car? Are you wanting a perfect car for a show that has never seen rain/snow/weather? Are you looking for a garage queen?

This isn't your car.

For sale is a 1988 Corvette Coupe, Z51 manual trans (4+3). Car has been mechanically gone through from top to bottom including a new suspension, brake system, clutch system, engine, driveline ... lets say it's a driver. Car runs and drives well after fresh engine rebuild with upgrades. It is not the prettiest car, the interior is "meh" and definitely needs some lovin'. Body is straight, but 25 years is a long time of for that plastic body to see the elements. Car spent the first 21 years in Arkansas before I brought it up to Indiana. It's been parked for winters and what steel is in the car is mostly rust free.

New Starter

Car runs great, stops great, handles great. Seats are generic eBay racing seats. They have great bolstering and sit about an inch lower than the broken stock seats they replaced. The AC DID work after I recharged it, but it leaked fast. It only lasted me about 2 weeks before it no longer cooled. Likely needs all new o-rings in the lines as they were dried/cracked when I took them off to pull the engine. The 4+3 trans works like new. The OD unit shifts like it's supposed to. I've always used it as a 5th gear.

The bad:

Interior needs carpet and door panels.

Passenger window motor died, I have the new motor but have not had the time to replace it. Since I'm selling it, I likely won't have the time/desire.

Tint on the passenger window looks like hell (previous owner installed) and needs to come off.

Seals are 25 years old and they are original. Do I need to say more?

The body needs paint and the rear bumper cap filled/sanded. It's old. It's original.

Obviously looks have not been my priority. Making the car solid and fast was. If I had it apart, and there was any question of condition, it got replaced. Look at the list of things replaced.... I didn't skimp. Time has come for me to move on. I've got a lot invested, just need to sell so I can fund the next project from my vehicular ADD.

Can Help deliver for cost of gas (round trip from 46052 @ 14mpg) and depending on distance lunch.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
