3 DAY AUCTION ONLY !!!!!!!!! If you've always wanted a Corvette but thought you couldn't afford one, heres your chance. This is a whole lot of car for a small amount of money. This is a 1979 Corvette with the 350 engine and automatic trans. Don't think its the original engine but not absolutely sure. This car has been off the road a while as the owner passed away a few years ago and it has been parked since. He was in the process of fixing some minor things such as the wipers as the wiper motor is missing. This was and is a running driving car although it needs some work to be road worthy. The engine runs but has a good bit of blow by. There is a little lifter noise but an oil and filter change may fix that. Remember this has been sitting so you have to expect it needs a little attention. It has a new carburetor that needs adjusted but it is brand new. All the AC parts are there but the belt is off of it. It has a new radiator installed. The Vette has the painted T-Tops on it that are in good condition except for the inside liner on one of them, they latch fine. The drivers seat needs some work but good for a daily driver, pass side seems fine just needs a good cleaning as does the complete interior. Door panels are pretty good, no visible damage, dash top has some cracks, carpet is dirty but all there. The carpeted panels that go on the sides of the console are gone, think they just deteriorated. It has the tilt and telescopic steering column that's in good condition but the leather on the wheel looks bad. The rear compartment carpet is fair, just needs cleaning. The factory wheels are all there including the center caps, how rare is that? The tires hold air but have dry rot. Now the body on this Corvette is pretty nice for a 79. All the white looking areas you see in the pictures is just where the paint has come off for some reason, just need refinished. There are a few minor cracks or flawed places on it but nothing major, think Ive included pics of most of those areas. Guys this is a great project car and you can be riding with minimal work depending on how nice you want to make it. The buy it now price is extremely low for what your getting. You don't find a low price Vette everyday. Also the frame on this car is super nice, do not see any rust issues at all. That's about all I know to tell you so if you have questions please email me and I will get back to you asap. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all positive. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. Read the description carefully, look at the pics and you will know exactly what your bidding on. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. This corvette is for sale locally also so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this great 1979 Corvette, running driving project car. REMEMBER THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!! It has a clear VA title.


On Dec-05-13 at 17:36:55 PST, seller added the following information:

 Just wanted to clarify a thing or two from questions ive been getting. The miles are 100,00 plus what is now on the odometer. Don't think theres any 79 Corvettes out there with 35000 miles on it. Sorry for the confusion and if you need to retract your bid that's fine. Also the old battery wont hold charge but it can be jump started. Guys this is a 79 Corvette that has been sitting quite awhile. Please be realistic when you look at the pics and the description and realize its a low priced running project car. Hope this helps and also the car is located in Union WV 24983 just like the auction states. Thanks for all the interest and if you still have questions let me know. Checkout my feedback, over 550 and all positive. Im not on here to scam anyone.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

New auto loans could soon extend out to 84 months

Sun, Apr 22 2018

Cars and trucks are more expensive than ever before. In order to boost sales and help consumers afford new vehicles, automakers are offering longer and longer terms for auto loans. This past week, Bloomberg reported that FCA's Ram Trucks division is currently offering the longest loans. Some stretch to 73 months. Jeep, Fiat and Chevy aren't far behind. More noteworthy is that we'll likely soon see lenders moving from 73-month to 84-month loans. That's seven years worth of interest. More than two-thirds of US auto sales come from light trucks like the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500. The average transaction price of a new vehicle is well over $30,000. It's not difficult to spec out a heavily-optioned truck up to $60,000. Vehicles depreciate from the moment they roll off a dealer lot, and these six or seven-year loans could hurt consumers and lenders both in the long run. The U.S. Senate voted last week to kill rules that would prevent discriminatory auto lending. These Obama-era guidelines were meant to curtail lenders who offered higher loans based on race, religion, sex or national origin.
