Lockport, Illinois, United States

 Purchased from my dad back in 2008 and improvements made below (most done around that time period):

  • New paint (PPG with multiple clearcoats--still in good condition)
  • New front bumper (rear bumper is still in very good condition)
  • New chrome pieces (various)
  • New GM Performance Parts 350 Crate motor (Iron head with RPM performer intake and Holley 4 BBL)
    • 4 BBL shows some hesitation that I can't get worked out--will need to be tuned  (car runs rich)
    • K&N airbreather
    • Dual Electric Fans from an LS1 camaro
  • New professionally built 400TH Transmission
    • Reverse Manual Valve Body
    • B&M Ratchet Shifter
  • New Moto Gear 3.73 positrac Ring and Pinion
  • New front Baer Trac Pack Disc Brakes (2 piston)
  • New Brake booster and master cylinder
  • New shoes for the rear drums
  • New American Racing Custom ordered (for proper back spacing) 17X8.5 Wheels
    • P245/40ZR up front (passenger side is now P235 as I had to put a spare on it after a recent flat) BF Goodrich G-Sport
    • P275/40ZR in the rear (still plenty of tread)
  • New MOOG Steering components
  • New Spohn Performance Sway bars (front and rear)
  • New Pro-Comp upper and lower Tubular control Arms (condition note--driver side grease nipple has come off and the grease nipple will need to be replaced)
  • New CPP 2" Drop Spindles
  • New 2" Drop Detroit Speed Springs
  • All new Doetsch Nitrogen 3 way adjustable shocks
  • New Tubular lower trailing control arms
  • Newer interior (replaced prior to my purchase of the vehicle)--signs of ware on driver-side carpets

The vehicle has passed state inspections in Missouri and Texas (as recent as last year).  I now live in Illinois and they do not require inspections.

I believe the car is a beautiful driver but is not a show car.  I am not aware of any bondo in the car as my body man did not have to add any for the prep work of the paint job.  The driver side rear quarter fender well should probably be replaced as I had to do some cutting on it (not visible from outside the car) to get a previous set of wheels to keep from rubbing.  The new wheels are properly backspaced and will not rub with a new wheel well.

I believe this represents the car well.  I believe the price reflects the fact that this car is not a show-car but a driver with very nice components.  I would estimate that I have over $27,000.00 in the car including the purchase price of $14,000 from my dad.  The car handles and stops very well.  I had to send off for the title as I recently relocated to Illinois and I have not received it back yet but expect it soon.  I do have a lien against the car through my credit union. 

Thank you for your interest.  I am not interested in trades.  I have found a Camaro that I am specifically trying to buy with the sell of this car.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
