If you are looking for a perfect looking car with no blemishes, stop reading. This car was produced back when car companies were trying to save money and used inferior paint products. The clear coat has begun to peel.

So, what do we have here? A true muscle car. Over $15,000 has been invested into this car, mostly between the motor and transmission. A custom made 3 inch catback exhaust has been installed. This is a car for a true enthusiast, not a cheap beginner car for teenagers.

25th Anniversay, Black, 1992 Z28, Automatic, 5.7 liter engine with MPFI. 173,000 miles.

The good:
5.7 liter motor rebuilt less than 10,000 miles ago, easily 400+ HP
BBK throttle body
Edelbrock heads and headers
a more agressive cam than stock
Rebuilt transmission w/shift kit, less than 1,000 miles
Clean interior, non smoker, minor wear/tear on Driver's seat(see pic, from getting in/out), carpet is complete
Solid body, no undercarriage rust
Power windows, door locks, seat, steering, brakes
Cruise

The bad:
A/C need recharging (brand new compressor put in last year, system prob has a small leak)
Clear coat starting to peel in places
Minor damage to driver's front fender
2 small rust bubbles on roof (end of driver's door rail and passenger's side top of windshield)
Speedometer needs work (odometer works normally, wrong speedometer motor installed)
Computer eproms need to be reflashed to accomodate motor changes

I bought this car while I was in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii, and after retiring I moved to Iowa. The car has been stored winters since I brought it here, so it's not been exposed to the rust causing salts they use on the roads. I am guessing the previous owner had the windshield replaced as the one rust bubble looks like it was from a careless installer nicking the paint (see pic). 

On the speedometer, it had started jumping 20-40mph and the shop replaced the motor on the instrument cluster.  The speedomter started reading high (and the shop was bought out), so after a lot of research, I believe the motor they used is what they call an 8-pulse motor and the sender on my transmission is a 12-pulse, so the speed showed ~1.5x actual speed.  It's currently set up to be accurate at 60mph, so it reads low <60 and high >60.  As stated, the odometer works normally, it has a separate motor.

This car is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction with no notice.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
