This car has 24,400 orginal miles with orginal Brown metallic lacqure paint and Light beige interior. Paint is amazing for a 33 year old car. It has some road chips and front bumper paint is thin. Again this paint is amazing for factory paint. This car is 100% stock. Car was bought from orginal owner who bought it new in 1979 from Bast Chevrolet in Seaford New York.
Orginal owner retitled the car in 2001due to a divorce and did not know about actual miles on the title and got a title with exempt miles from the state of New York. So I can not document orginal miles. If you look at the pictures of this cars it is as orginal as they get. When I got the car it had the orginal hoses still on it. I replaced every rubber bushing in the rear and replaced the orginal radiator . Have orginal radiator. I replaced all front end compontents and bushings. New A/C delco shocks.
I put on the corvette valve covers and crome alternator. Have orginal parts. Interior is 100% complete no cracks with the orginal carpet, door panels, seats and steering wheel ( has a crack on top see picture). Car starts and drives like a 24,000 mile car. Mufflers had been replaced by previous owner. The rest of the exhust is factory.
Everything in the car work as it should cold Air conditioning, clock, Instrumentation, Seat belt reminder, Key buzzer, Alarm ect.
Previous owner did not save the window sticker and I tried to get out the tank build sheet but it was all beat up and in many pieces. I was unable to find a build sheet under the carpeting.
I do have some of the delivery paperwork see photos. This car was undercoated from the factory and has no rust what so every on the chassis or the bird cage. This car was also garaged from the day it was picked up and it shows. It still had the orginal brake calipers and pads from GM when I got it. I have since changed them to SS sleeved o ring calipers. This car is really unmolested and stock.
500 dollar deposit and remainder to be paid with wire transfer or bank check.
car is for sale locally and can be withdrawn at any time

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
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.
