Up for sale is my 1968 Corvette Coupe with T-tops. Car is beautiful, sounds like its about to take flight on the drag strip, and runs like a scalded dog. Has the 327/350 option with a 4-speed. I bought this from a friend who needed money to build his house. I realized after I bought it that I have 9 other vehicles, and it has rained every day except 4 since I moved to Florida over Memorial Day weekend. So, I realized I haven't ridden either of my Harley's since I moved, not once! This car, and my 65 Mustang, have mostly been moved from my garage to my shop so I could drywall the garage then back into the garage. I bought this car in Dec 2012, and when I looked on the title and the odometer today, I realized it had 81,674 miles on it when I bought it, and today it reads 81,686 which means I've driven it a total of 12 miles since I bought it, and that was to go to the DMV, and once this weekend when it was test-driven locally by a guy who wanted to trade me a Cabin Cruiser for it. I have a wave runner and a boat that I just bought last week, so had I known that before he test-drove it, I wouldn't have wasted that trip!

As for the condition, the pics pretty much speak for themselves. I have the factory luggage rack and factory steering wheel the guy gave me. I have the factory shop manuals somewhere too. Car starts, runs, rides beautifully, sounds like a serious hot rod with the custom exhaust, and has what looks to be relatively new wheels/tires. The only issues I found with the car were the seat belts were for crap, so I have new, generic ones in the packages to go with the car. I also noticed, on the only day I parked it outside, that the T-Top weatherstrips leak, so I just purchased a complete new weatherstrip kit for almost $500 from Mid-America Corvettes, and the kit is still in the box, and will be included. I don't know of other issues with the car, understanding that I've only driven it 12 miles. I encourage local inspection, and feel free to bring your mechanic with you! Car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty, but again, I encourage local inspection, and I'll be happy to take you for a ride.

I looked up the NADA on the car. Today, it lists the low retail at $21K, the average retail in the $40's, and the high retail in the $50's. I live near Pensacola, Florida, and here the insurance company and the DMV have to inspect the car, and the insurance company has pictures taken and filed so I could recoup my losses if anything happened, and so I could put Antique plates on it. After doing so, the Insurance Company did comps in the local Region, and it's currently insured for $33,500. I've started the bid where I feel like someone can get a good deal on a really nice Vette. I could probably hold out for big bucks, but the car is not doing anything for me except sitting in the garage collecting dust, while I pay increased insurance rates because of the insured value. So, if you want it, bid to own it. I have set my starting bid, and if it ends up a penny over, so be it. The car needs an owner.

Now for the necessary stuff: NO outside the lower 48 bids, sales or shipping. Car has been described to the best of my ability and knowledge. Inspection encouraged and invited. I will entertain offers of trades, but I don't want ANY projects, no matter how little you think needs to be done. If you want to trade anything, you have to have a clear title, and be able to bring your prospective trade to my house, no exceptions. Cash is the only form of payment I'll accept, I don't care what your wife says. NO money orders, NO checks, NO google payments, and NO paypal beyond the deposit. And last but not least, check my feedback from over 10 years on ebay. I'm honest, and will deal with you straight up. I have heard and had guys try ALL the scams and silliness on me, so please don't waste your time. I'm not letting you send me a wire transfer, and have your brother/shipper/cousin or anybody else transact any business for you. Cash, in person, is the only way this works, period. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end, and balance upon pickup within 7 days. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction until the first bid is entered. Once that happens, it will run til sold. If your feedback is less than 5, or you have negatives for non-payment, I reserve the right to cancel your bid. Thanks for looking, and don't be afraid to send me reasonable offers.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
