US $24,900.00
Year:2005 Mileage:60500
Location:

Up for sale a beautiful, highly upgraded 2005 Chevrolet Corvette that just passed 60k miles.  

 

I bought this car in TX a few years back and have loved every minute of driving it.  Sadly the AF has moved me out to CA and due to the performance upgrades I can't register it here.  Since the registration from SC is going to run out soon, I am forced to part with it.  Your chance to get a great car with a lot of awesome work done to it.  This car is fully loaded with just about every option, at the bottom of the listing I’ll include the codes and associated options so you can see exactly what it has.

 

Upgrades to this car include the following:

 

Full rework of the clutch and clutch system including:

 

Tick & Monster Complete Clutch Swap Package ($1250)

http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-monster-complete-clutch-swap-package-05-08-corvette-z06/

 

This clutch is fully adjustable to your preference and bleeding the entire system is now super easy because I have installed a remote bleeder line. All the hydraulic lines are now braided stainless (far better them GMs rubber hoses) and routed far away from the exhaust heat.  Nothing to worry about with your clutch again.

 

All new exhaust system from block to tips including:

 

Melrose Motorsports LS2 Corvette Header system ($1600) http://www.melrosecorvette.com/2005-2007-ls2-corvette-header-system/

 

            LG Motorsports GT4 cat-back muffler kit ($1000)

http://www.lgmotorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=343_435&products_id=2070

 

Here’s the deal with this exhaust, I got a good deal on the LG mufflers so I thought I would try them.  Personally, they are too loud for me and there is some drone between about 1800 and 2500 RPM.  I bought a lightly used Z06 exhaust that I was planning on swapping out but have just run out of time and now am deploying soon.  Let me know if you would like me to include the Z06 exhaust (worth a few hundred at least) or even have it swapped out prior to having the car sent to you. 

 

Suspension and chassis work to include:

 

Replacing sway bars, shocks and mono leafs with almost new OEM Z51 components and lowering the car appx 1” ($500).

 

A new heat-shielded tunnel brace ($120). The car is much stiffer, the tunnel brace controls the body and frame flex and also shields the interior from the exhaust heat. 

 Overall the car rides much better, has tighter control with less roll and sway in the turns.  

 

All new intake system including:

 

Vararam VR-SC1 Gen2 SnakeCharmer cold air intake ($300)

http://www.vararam.com/sc1.html

 

I had both the throttle body and intake plenum bored and polished ($300)

 

New spark plugs and MSD Super Conductor wires ($150)

 

New Duralast Gold Battery ($140)

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Gold-Battery/2005-Chevrolet-Corvette/_/N-jmmnqZacy27?itemIdentifier=21878_817422_0_

 

 

I also sent the ECU out for tuning to take advantage of the new airflow and increase throttle response and performance.  They also programmed out the 1-4 skip-shift so now you get to decide what gear you want to be in, not the car. ($150)

 

Interior:

 

Sound and heat deadening throughout entire cabin ($400) This greatly reduces the heat soak into the cabin and makes it where you don’t need to run your AC just to make a drive livable. No more hot drinks in the cup holders!

 

Hydrocarbon wrapped center console finished in 2008 GM Hydrocarbon ($300)

http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Carbon-Fiber-Corvette-Radio-Center-Console-for-C6-Corvette.html

 

Matching carbon fiber door release bezels ($140)

http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Corvette-C6-Carbon-Fiber-Door-Release-Bezels.html

 

Kenwood DVD/Navigation system ($200)

 

 

At around 56k miles the anti-theft column steering lock sounded a little slow to retract so I had the Chevrolet dealership in Mt Pleasant, SC replace the entire pin motor assembly ($1000).  While there, I had them perform the TSB/service bulletins to install a new under dash wiring clip and replace the recalled removable hood panel.   

 

I also had a Corvette specialty shop (MSI Corvettes in Roseville, CA - http://motorsportimage.com) preemptively replace the harmonic balancer once I got to 60k miles. ($1000) They also replaced all the belts and gave the car a thorough check. 

 

Again, only selling this car because the AF moved me to CA and can’t register it here and I’m being deployed out before too long.  I need to sell it relatively soon and this is a great chance for you to get a car with all the work done and at a deep discount to you. 

 

This car has always been smoke and pet free.  There are some smell scratches and scuffs here and there which I have close up pics of and can send your way.  Right now one of the TPMS is reading zero so I’ll take it to the dealership this week to have it checked out, I’m suspecting it needs to be re-calibrated.

 

I have over 80 pictures of the car and it’s easy for me to take more of anything requested.  Just let me know what you would like.  Please contact me with any questions you have, I’m working evenings this weekend but will find time to talk with you about any questions you have. 

 

Included:

 CarCraft Custom fit cover ($200)

2 Keyless remotes and keys

 

Shipping:

 I realize that the buyer will most likely be outside of CA and as such I will drive the car  up to 2 hours (ie Reno, NV)  Even if you decide to have the car shipped I could drop it off in NV to save some on shipping costs.  Contact me and we can work out any details. 

 

Payment: 

 Paypal works great for deposits, we can work out the details on the payment method, but money orders or cashier’s checks would be the easiest. 

 

Clear SC Title. No Salvage History. No Rebuilt History. No Flood Damage. No Liens.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The 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.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
