Repairable Rebuildable Project Light Collision Damage Easy Fixer!!! on 2040-cars
Enfield, Connecticut, United States
|
This auction is for a 1981 Corvette which has been involved in a front end collision. It was paid off by the former owners insurance company, and I purchased it from their auction. The title has been signed over by the insurance company, but has not been stamped salvage. This may or may not deem the title salvage, depending on your state's laws. The car is in great shape for it's age. The interior looks to have been restored at some point and is in beautiful condition as seen in the pics. The body looks excellent, except for the obvious damage to the front end. I have a lot of experience with C3 Corvettes and this one looks like it had never been hit before. The frame looks straight, I see nothing bent, except possible the horns at the very front, which are very thin and can be moved with a hammer if needed. The remainder of the frame is exceptionally clean for a 33 yr old car. The exhaust is in excellent condition and looks fairly new. The tires look fairly new too, with lots of tread. The car starts right up and idles fine, sounds good, with no noise or smoke. I see a Crane Cam sticker inside the hood, the car has a nice lope to it. Other than that, the engine appears all original, down to the valve covers and air cleaner. It has a small exhaust leak and there is a pair of hoses missing from the AIR pump to the exhaust manifolds. The car drives in the yard. The brakes work but the pedal feels soft. There is an aftermarket stereo in the dash, along with a multi disc CD changer and amp in the back cargo area. The car also has a very nice set of PPG glass t tops. I have all of the damaged parts that I removed from the car and have saved the hardware in Ziploc bags. This car is being relisted due to a non paying bidder. Please do not bid unless you intend to follow through with your commitment. You are bidding to buy the car, not to think about whether you want it or not. If you are a new bidder with zero feedback please email me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. I'm sorry to have to say all of this but some people ruin it for everybody. This car is being sold as a repairable in as is condition, with no warranty. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that it has been repaired to roadworthy condition before driving on public roads. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I can list it on Central Dispatch to help find a ride home for it. We will be glad to help load the car on our end. Please feel free to email me with any questions. |

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
