1989 Chevrolet Corvette Base Hatchback 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
hello up for auction is my 1989 chevy corvette it has a six speed manual and good clutch I bought this car a few weeks back to have as a daily driver but it's become more involved than I want.she runs and the engine sounds very healthy I've changed almost every relay.I drove her for a bout 15 minutes when I picked her up and she ran like a bat out of hell but for some reason the electric cooling fan doesn't kick in and she started to run hot so I had her flat bedded the rest of the way home to spare the engine.she starts hard(you need starting fluid )and won't idle on her own till she warms up a little,when she gets to operating temp she accelerates great but once she gets hot she seems to bog down and lose power I don't know if this is a separate issue or related to the temp.the tires are all dry rotted which is a shame cause they have a lot of tread.the owner before me had her a few years as a project and redid the brake lines among other things.the car cosmetically is in beautiful shape and all gauges and lights are operational,the seats are leather the pass seat is worn on the inboard side.I haven t tested the ac so I can t say if it works or not.I've posted three videos of her on youtube if you want to hear her run and get a look at her.I love the car but I need a daily driver and not a project even though it could be something simple.low reserve thanks for looking the titles for the videos follow:

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.

There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford
Tue, 07 Jan 2014
The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
