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.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
