1997 Chevy C5 Corvette Targa with glass top W/Z51 Performance Package. 6 speed Manual. White with Slate Grey and Black interior. Pics are of the ACTUAL Car and were taken at the MotorCity Gumball and Tail of the Dragon this summer... All decals have been removed except for the Gumball door logos which can be in a matter of minutes. No Joyrides as the roads are bad and salt covered. Car has 94k miles on it and runs/Drives perfect. Everything works (even air). Never seen a winter and is always stored in the garage. Clean Carfax in hand and available for review. I am the third owner even though Ebays title check says 4. and have had the car a year and put ~4000 miles on it over the summer. I bought this car specifically for the MCGB and am looking for something a little different this year. The paint is all original and in above average condition for the year of the car. People are surprised when I tell them it's a 1997.
Upgrades are:
1) Full C6 ZO6 suspension, Shocks, springs, swaybars, metal end links, and bushings. Installed in May of '13 ($1850)
2) Full Corsa Xtreme Cat back exhaust with x pipe. Full Stainless. ($1300) Installed in May of '13. Sounds fantastic.
3) K&N drop in filter and SLP lid.
4) Tsw Nurburgring Wheels (18" x 9" front and 19" x 10.5" rear) with Hankook K12 Evo Tires (265/40 front and 305/30 rear). ($2350). Less than 3000 miles on the tires. Installed in May of '13
Rest of the car is 100% Stock
Maintenance:
1) Front and rear pads and rotors (NAPA premium) May '13
2) GMPP Wires and Radium Plugs. May of '13
3) All fluids (Amsoil full synthetic) including trans, rear diff, brake fluid, power steering, and coolant. June of '13
4) All belts and hoses replaced along with idler and tensioner pulleys. August of '13
5) Water pump GMPP and thermostat. August of '13
6) Wiper Motor (common failure on C5s) June of '13
7) Clutch at 60k miles by previous owner done at the dealer. Shows on the car fax.
8) New battery June '13
Items that I would address if I were keeping the car:
1) Drivers seat upper bolster needs recovering.
2) Oil Pressure sensor needs to be replaced. ($40 part)
Have any questions? Let me know! Thanks!

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The 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.
