MY DESCRIPTION:

Never hit nor driven in snow or ice, this strictly non-smoking Corvette has led a garaged, pampered, and well-loved "3-season" life. I am offering it with a reserve and Buy It Now set according to Kelley Blue Book value, at less than what I truly believe this car is worth.

This is one of the finest examples of a C5 (5th generation) Corvette produced, being from the final year of C5 production, including the 24 Hours of LeMans Commemorative Edition package (2,170 coupes produced with this option), and having every available option, including the very desirable 6-speed Manual Transmission and Magnetic Ride Control. Many people consider this generation of Corvette's sensuous and flowing body style to be among the most beautiful Corvettes of all time. It certainly is the last year for hidden headlights, probably forever.

This great, very low mileage car has been a member of our family since January of 2005, when I became its second owner 8 months after it was originally purchased. The original owner in PA bought it for his wife, who apparently didn't want the car, so he traded it in at a large powersports and automotive dealer for some ATV's and a new Harley! Well, his loss was my gain, because it kept its practically flawless history of reliable service, and it's easily been to this day the best Corvette I've ever owned. By all means check the Carfax on this Corvette, which has been my 4th Vette since 1987.

Selling this car is a decision I've gone back and forth with for the past year. It's a great sports car, beautiful to look at, and a wonderful vacation companion (we've taken it on a few long trips) with its smooth highway ride (for a sports car, thanks to Magnetic Ride Control, which GM developed with Delco and is now also used by Audi and Ferrari), large cargo area, and consistent delivery of 29 to 30 MPG on the highway (that is NOT a typo, these cars get phenomenal mileage cruising in 6th gear at 70-80+ MPH!) But the sad fact is, I just don't drive it much-- lately under 1,000 miles a year, and in the meantime it takes up garage space and adds about a thousand bucks to my insurance every year. So I think it's time to hand the keys to someone else who will love and enjoy the car more often than I'm able to. I truly believe you will not find a nicer, more fun to drive, more comfortable, better looking or more reliable sports car of any kind at this price.

As listed below, I spent a few thousand dollars over the years to make a few tasteful and functional modifications to this car, always with the thought that it should appear like it came (or should have come) from the factory that way. It has the mellow (Touring) version of the Corsa Tigershark exhaust system with its gorgeous set of chrome tips in back, originally supplied for a well-known Chevrolet-made C5 concept car called the Tigershark. This exhaust combined with an SLP Blackwing cold air intake gives the car a little boost in horsepower (probably 10-20 extra, though this car was never dyno'd). It cruises quietly, but has a nice growl when you're dipping heavily into the throttle. Part of that quiet cruising is thanks to some extra, custom-fit insulation in the hatch area, which on the C5 can otherwise be a source of significant road noise and resonance. A speed shift kit gets rid of the very rubbery feeling stock shifter and shortens throws nicely. A few interior pieces dress up the cockpit, including aluminum gauge bezels that bring the dash appearance closer to what you find in the C6. It also has something of a magic box installed that offers a mini-stereo plug inside the console storage compartment, which lets you play any portable device (iPod, Android, etc.) through the factory sound system, while retaining full use of the in-dash CD and 12-disc remote CD changer. Except for the exhaust, I have the original parts that come with the car if the buyer wishes to go back to stock. I absolutely love the new Michelin Pilot run-flat tires, which have phenomenal grip in both dry and wet; in fact I think the wet weather traction is now as good as the dry traction on the original Goodyear run-flat tires.

Please check my feedback; I'm a very honest seller and I want to find a very happy buyer! Everything on this Corvette works "as new" to best of my knowledge. The deep blue paint looks fantastic, with just a few normal small road chips that have touch-up paint on them. The edition-exclusive shale interior is also close to showroom condition, with some very minor wear on the driver side seat cushion, which is normal and unavoidable for these cars; if I didn't point it out you probably wouldn't notice. There is a nearly invisible crack in the driver side turn signal lens, and I have the new Chevrolet part, which comes with the car, but haven't had time to get it installed. There is also a slight buzz noticed recently in the console area under certain conditions of acceleration, which I haven't had time to track down (I suspect the ash tray lid or its spring). I certainly welcome all questions here, in-person requests to see the car.

Good luck bidders, and be sure to check out the full picture gallery and HD video link at:

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
