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.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog. Related Video: Transport Canada Recall # 2016053 Recall Date 2016/02/04 Notification Type Safety Mfr System Brakes Manufacturer Recall Number 20760 Units Affected The number of vehicles or components affected by the recall. 46,837 Category Light Truck & Van, SUV Recall Details On certain Heavy Duty and Police Pursuit vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may become loose, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative. If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.
