Up for auction is our 1982 Collector Edition Corvette, we started to fix this up for my wife but have too many irons in the fire to complete it. There were 6,759 of these cars made in 1982. This car has a clear Oregon title, the crossfire injection motor was rebuilt (numbers matching long block) by Portland Engine Rebuilders (Larson and King). The rest of the engine assembly and installation was done by an ASE Certified mechanic. The engine has not been fired since being rebuilt. We purchased this car as a project, we have not ever tried the power stuff (windows, locks, seat, etc.)
The car comes with the new in the box GM mirrored glass T-Top panels, we have purchased two new wheels with center caps, the a/c condenser was tested (it's good) and repainted. We installed a new carpet kit, there are new carpet pieces for the seat backs as well. The factory standard options are: Original leather interior (in decent condition), power driver seat, power radio antenna, storage compartment cover, air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, disc brakes and a lighted vanity mirror for the passenger side. All 1982 Corvettes had an automatic transmission, manual transmissions were not available in 1982. Rear glass hatch window *****
The car still needs to finish being assembled, it needs a new windshield, and radiator. The body of the car is in great shape, it should be repainted to look really great but it is ok for a driver. This will be a great car, it just needs some assembly.
**** All of the shocks, latches and such are in the car for the rear hatch glass, however we do not have the correct glass for the car. We do have a standard non hatch glass for the rear. The standard glass can be installed while you track down the hatch style glass piece.
Please contact us with any questions. If there is an area you would like a photo of that is not shown in this listing, please let us know. Buyer is responsible for transportation of the Corvette after the auction has ended. Buyer has 30 days to remove the car from our property. $500 non refundable deposit is due at auction end via Pay Pal, we prefer to have the balance paid in cash. Local delivery can be arranged within 100 miles of Portland Oregon for an extra fee. We are not selling this car with a warranty or any guarantee given or implied.
Thank you for looking and good luck.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
