You are bidding on a 1986 C4 Corvette. The car will run and drive, but it overheats. It overheated, and picked up a "rough" run. I got into an engine upgrade for the car, and started taking it apart. At this time I noticed the area between the radiator and condenser was about 3/4 full of leaves. Also the inertia ring was off the balancer. Thought maybe that was the overheating and rough run. Put new balancer on and new thermostat, and reassembled. Car still overheats. head gasket? cracked head? I don't know. It will run for 20 min to half hour then gets hot. Battery is dead, but it can be started and driven for a test drive or driven onto a trailer just fine.
I want to make it clear that I am unsure of the "actual" miles on the car. I bought it with 141k. Used it some. But I doubt its over 150k. (like I said battery is dead cant read odo.)
Car drives fine, for an 86. I love to drive it. Car is complete. Dash light up most of the time, if not a "smack" gets it lit.prob a weak ground. All gauges worked last time I drove it. Needs a paint job, as clear is pealing, and a car cover played havoc on the paint. The rear carpet is all sun dried, and need replaced. Balance of interior is fine for an 86. It has a Delco Bose radio, and I feel it sounds excellent. Heat A/C worked fine, no freon in it now tho, never recharged after I put it back together. Headlights open and close just fine. Cruise doesn't work.
Tires are good, just guessing at 60% thread er better....but i don't know the new tread depth on Dunlap's.Windows are old GM typical slow. One door entry lock is drilled out, I have new one's which I never installed, to go with sale. I have the original window sticker, which has been plastic covered. Typical of GM no headliner. Has removable fiberglass roof section.
I purchased the car on E bay a couple of years ago, in Florida, and drove the car home to Texas. The car is in Freeport, TX. Which is aprox. 65 miles south of Houston.
I purchased a 95 Corvette LT-1 engine and transmission complete. All wiring, engine and dash and engine ECM, radiator w/fans and complete shroud, radiator fill tank, condenser, a/c hoses, heater core and box, Clutch, flywheel,bell housing, slave w/pedals, and drive shaft. The trans is a ZF-6spd blue tag. There is probably more I'm not adding here, but I believe I have more than an engine changeover would need. If bid winner is interested in the complete "package" I'd want 1k additional, I paid more.
I have no time, and really no place to change the engine anymore.
Payment, $500.00 within 48 hours after close of auction. Balance due Within 7 days. Email me thru E bay me if your the winner and phone numbers exchanged, and P/U arrangement's can be made.
THIS CAR MUST BE TOWED / TRAILERED. I HAVE NO WAY OF DELIVERING THE CAR. I WILL HELP AS NECESSARY IN LOADING THE CAR.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
