 Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to check out my car!!  I will be sad to see the SS go, but I am looking to get some cash put together for a business I am starting up.  I purchased this car from a nice fellow in Ohio in April of 2010.  I grew up hearing stories of the car my father had, it happened to be exactly like this one!!  He also ended up selling it for the same reason I am selling mine, I guess history repeats itself after all.  When I bought the car it's odometer read 65,610 miles, I haven't even put 4,000 miles on this car since I owned it.  The longest trip it made was coming back from Ohio, that was fun!!  Restoring cars was this guys passion, and he spared no expense on this Super Sport.  He purchased the car in 1999, restored it from 2001 to 2003, going over everything in the process.  I bought the car in the condition shown in the pictures.  He took the stereo system out when he sold it, I put one back in it, and added a wooden steering wheel, that's all!!

Here is the nitty gritty on the car:

  • Paint - 2003 GM Cadillac "White Diamond"
  • Interior - black, restored to Original GM Specs
  • Dual electric cooling fans
  • 9.5:1 compression ratio
  • Muncie M-22 "Rock Crusher" 4 speed (rebuilt)
  • 396 V-8 naturally aspirated ( rebuilt)
  • Hurst competition plus shifter
  • Chevy 12 bolt posi rear end 3.08.1
  • Stock ride height
  • Stock GM suspension
  • Original drum brakes restored (work great too!!)
  • Hedman ceramic coated headers
  • custom dual exhaust w/ chrome tips
  • Flow-Master mufflers
  • BF Goodrich Traction T/A Tires (225-55 R17)
  • American Torque Thrust II Wheels

I have all the receipts for the work done to the car since 2001 when the restoration began, it is quite thick!!

Well, hopefully you have made it this far!  Here is the full disclosure on the car.

  1. Despite being a newly rebuilt engine, it does use oil (as everyone runs away from this listing).  I bought the car knowing this (see it can be done).  The amount of oil is uses has never changed since I purchased it, I am too nervous to have it worked on because the car runs amazingly well, and I fear that it would never run the same if someone was to touch it.
  2. Some person (ok, lets say asshole) managed to run into the corner of my car.  I did not ever find out who it was, actually happened when the car was in a parking lot, at a car show for that matter.  There was no body damage, but it did take a piece out of my paint job.  I will provide a picture, even though I hate looking at it.  The paint on the car is amazing, such a classy looking paint job.
  3. This car does not have a heater core in it, I never take it out in the snow or cold, so it hasn't bothered me : )
  4. Other than the above stuff, it leaks a drop of oil or two when sitting for extended periods of time, the engine, transmission and under body are amazingly clean.

Please, please, please contact me with any questions.  I am accepting cash only on this sale.  The car was appraised in 2006 for $47,000.  I purchased this car for $38,000, I would definitely like to be in between that range when I sell it, need all the help I can get.  If you are going to have this car shipped, you will have to set everything up, however, if you choose to come pick it up yourself, and you are not local, I would be happy to pick you up at the airport in Denver!!

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
