This is a 1989 Corvette Coupe that was purchased new at Mountain View Chevrolet in Upland, CA. The family that owns it now is the second owner, as they purchased it from an elderly gentleman on the same block and have known the car it's whole life,
In a moment of weakness, I agreed to help them have the engine rebuilt, and it has inhabited my driveway since then. It was having head gasket issues, so we removed the engine and took it to Waynes Engine Rebuilder's in Riverside, CA who went through it completely with new pistons, rebuilt the heads, etc and returned it to us a complete long block in a bag ready to install. Receipts will be included with the sale. We installed all new cap, rotor, wires, battery and so forth when we reinstalled it.
The transmission was completely gone through recently as well, with all heavy duty parts and a nice shift kit. The car still has the original paint, and as you can see in the photos it is experiencing classic GM clear coat fade and could use a repaint.
The car runs and drives well, I took it around the block this morning. The exhaust has been upgraded with Flowmaster mufflers, and there is an Edelbrock/BBK Throttle body as well. Other than that it is factory original. All the headlights, digital dash, power accessories function properly. The seats are the original leather, and have experienced some cracking over the years and will need to be recovered.
It needs some finishing touches, such as final tuning, There is an aftermarket electric fan solenoid that is in there haphazardly that should be redone, and the power steering cap is cracked. The air conditioning needs to be recharged as well.
Overall it is a very solid original piece, with most of the mechanichal restoration done. It needs someone to take it the rest of the way. I can put you in contact with the owner if you have any more questions, please message me your contact info.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
