1987 Corvette project car runs & drives. 4+3 manual transmission. I believe it to be a Z51 as it says so in the center console. I believe the 68,033 miles are authentic. I have owned the car for almost three years it was bought as a project car and kept in my garage all that time. It is sold with a Maine title signed by the previous owner. I have never had it registered or on the road.
I put on custom rims and new tires, K&N air filter, spark plugs, thermostat. The exterior is in decent condition there is a large section on the hood where the paint is chipping off. Other than that I think it just needs a paint job. The interior is in fair shape the main exception is that both seats are in bad shape and so is the leather on the steering wheel. I also have the drivers door panel that is not in the pics or the video.
Some things I know don't work passenger headlight motor, drivers window, emergency brake, power adjustable seat.
Check out the video to see the car running. It doesn't smoke or leak any fluids. Transmission shifts into all four gears. What you don't really see in the video is that when you first start the car it usually runs a little rough for 30-60 seconds then smooths out and runs fine. I suspect really old gasoline might be the issue, but who knows. I know this car can yard drive but I've never had it out on the road most of my driving in it has been backing in and out of the garage to be worked on. Also to answer the question would I feel comfortable driving this car to California NO. I know the car works but I can't recommend anyone driving it to its destination it would be foolish. I don't mind storing this for a while if needed just let me know first. This is a project car it needs quite a bit of TLC I did my best to describe it but please ask questions if you have any.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
