1981 Corvette LS1 Engine
The Engine is from a 2001 Z-28 Camaro. It has less than 65,000 miles on it. The transmission is a 4L60E automatic from the same vehicle. The front suspension is rebuilt with new springs, shocks, tie rods, upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower polyurethane control arm bushings, and sway bar bushings. The rear suspension has rebuilt rear trailing arms, rebuilt differential with new 3.31 gears, new u-joints in the half shafts and drive shaft, new shocks, new adjustable strut rods. The brakes have new drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and all 4 calipers have been rebuilt and have steel braided brake lines. The dual exhaust is new with a new catalytic converter.
The body and frame are straight and has never been wrecked. The paint is fair with some small chips and cracks in it. All the glass is good with no cracks. The windshield was replaced. The interior needs new carpet. The seats are worn but do not have any tears or holes. I did not install air conditioning because of time and money but it can be installed. I replaced the vacuum headlight system with more reliable electric motors. The tires are in fair shape but are old and should be replaced. All gauges work except for oil temp, there is not a sensor for oil temp on the LS1. The speedometer and tachometer are electronic.
Overall this is car is a great driving car and runs hard. It is very quick and handles very well. If you have any questions please email me. Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Thanks for looking!

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
