1998 Chevy Corvette convertible I can and will e-mail more pics upon request
The first picture is how the car looked before IPS got a hold of it. I added a couple pics they sent me as Livernois was building the engine. And one picture of what IPS did on their joy ride when they were suppose to be breaking in the engine.
Totaled - not by me, I took it to IPS Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio. They dropped in a brand new LS3 fully built (details below) and a new clutch. They were putting break in miles on it before dyno tune and the guy was hot rodding it joy ride and threw it into a brick mailbox enclosure. There insurance was going to repair the car b/c of all modifications that was done it was worth a considerable amount. I did not want the car back, I wanted an untotaled car like what I had. They weren't going to do that. My attorney got the car totaled at a lesser value so I could get more out of it (since I got nothing out of IPS). So here it is forsale. The price of reserve is less than what the engine has in it. Basically buying a full built complete brand new engine and getting a car with it for less than what the engine alone is worth.
Engine -
- LS3 Darton Sleeved Block
- Manley Forged Crankshaft
- Diamond Forged Pistons
- Total Seal Steel Rings
- Trend Heavy Wall Wrist Pins
- Clevite Coated Bearings
- ARP Main Studs
- Sleeved
- Deck Plate Honed
- Align Honed
- Main and Rod Clearances Set
- Stroker Clearance on Block
- Radius/Prep Block
- Balance Crankshaft
- Prep Block Oil Passages
- Prep Crankshaft Oil Holes
- Fully Assembled
This car also has custom paint on hood and decklid (no good), The hood is good still, Ghost C5 emblem on it. The front bumper shaved emblem and license filler is molded in. Along with functional z06 screens in front bumper and function rear z06 screens, Ace Slick Z07 wheels, 2" adapter on rears for L5 Flares, slotted and cross drilled zink coated rotors all 4 corners, and blacked out front turn signals. ACI front ground effect with a ONE OF A KIND ACI SAVER / SPLITTER, it is made out of stainless steel. Car is lowered 1.5". 19x11 rear (one needs replaced) 18x9.5 front
As the car sits... This would make a great start to a Factory 5 five Racing GTM car. All front end suspension is good. Most of body is good besides Doors needing some repair along with convertible lid cover and the passenger L5 quarter and rear bumper. Decklid and driver quarter need replaced. The car can't be started. The lower bell housing along with full exhaust (minus headers), drive line cover and anti sway bar IPS still has. Don't ask me how they can get away with that but they did.
This car was an all out show car for me. I only took it on nice days to work and took it to shows. I did not race the car. I don't know what all would take to rebuild it. It is more work than it's worth to me. That is why I am selling it as a car but you buy the engine and get the car with it. If someone were to buy the car and part it out, I don't doubt that they could get double the price they buy it for. I'm not in for parting a car though, it takes forever and I just want it gone. If there are any questions please e-mail me thru ebay. I reserve the right to sell locally. And buyer handles all shipping/towing. Thank you.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
