2005 - Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars
Damascus, Virginia, United States
Up for sale a beautiful, highly upgraded 2005 Chevrolet Corvette that just passed 60k miles. I bought this car in TX a few years back and have loved every minute of driving it. Sadly the AF has moved me out to CA and due to the performance upgrades I can't register it here. Since the registration from SC is going to run out soon, I am forced to part with it. Your chance to get a great car with a lot of awesome work done to it. This car is fully loaded with just about every option, at the bottom of the listing I’ll include the codes and associated options so you can see exactly what it has. Upgrades to this car include the following: Full rework of the clutch and clutch system including: Tick & Monster Complete Clutch Swap Package ($1250) http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-monster-complete-clutch-swap-package-05-08-co rvette-z06/ This clutch is fully adjustable to your preference and bleeding the entire system is now super easy because I have installed a remote bleeder line. All the hydraulic lines are now braided stainless (far better them GMs rubber hoses) and routed far away from the exhaust heat. Nothing to worry about with your clutch again. All new exhaust system from block to tips including: Melrose Motorsports LS2 Corvette Header system ($1600) http://www.melrosecorvette.com/2005-2007-ls2-corvette-header-system/ LG Motorsports GT4 cat-back muffler kit ($1000) http://www.lgmotorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=343_435&products_id=2070 Here’s the deal with this exhaust, I got a good deal on the LG mufflers so I thought I would try them. Personally, they are too loud for me and there is some drone between about 1800 and 2500 RPM. I bought a lightly used Z06 exhaust that I was planning on swapping out but have just run out of time and now am deploying soon. Let me know if you would like me to include the Z06 exhaust (worth a few hundred at least) or even have it swapped out prior to having the car sent to you. Suspension and chassis work to include: Replacing sway bars, shocks and mono leafs with almost new OEM Z51 components and lowering the car appx 1” ($500). A new heat-shielded tunnel brace ($120). The car is much stiffer, the tunnel brace controls the body and frame flex and also shields the interior from the exhaust heat. Overall the car rides much better, has tighter control with less roll and sway in the turns. All new intake system including: Vararam VR-SC1 Gen2 SnakeCharmer cold air intake ($300) http://www.vararam.com/sc1.html I had both the throttle body and intake plenum bored and polished ($300) New spark plugs and MSD Super Conductor wires ($150) New Duralast Gold Battery ($140) http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Gold-Battery/2005-Chevrolet-Corve tte/_/N-jmmnqZacy27?itemIdentifier=21878_817422_0_ I also sent the ECU out for tuning to take advantage of the new airflow and increase throttle response and performance. They also programmed out the 1-4 skip-shift so now you get to decide what gear you want to be in, not the car. ($150) Interior: Sound and heat deadening throughout entire cabin ($400) This greatly reduces the heat soak into the cabin and makes it where you don’t need to run your AC just to make a drive livable. No more hot drinks in the cup holders! Hydrocarbon wrapped center console finished in 2008 GM Hydrocarbon ($300) http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Carbon-Fiber-Corvette-Radio-Center-C onsole-for-C6-Corvette.html Matching carbon fiber door release bezels ($140) http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Corvette-C6-Carbon-Fiber-Door-Releas e-Bezels.html Pioneer DVD/Navigation system ($200) Again, only selling this car because the AF moved me to CA and can’t register it here and I’m being deployed out before too long. I need to sell it relatively soon and this is a great chance for you to get a car with all the work done and at a deep discount to you. This car has always been smoke and pet free. There are some smell scratches and scuffs here and there which I have close up pics of and can send your way. Right now one of the TPMS is reading zero so I’ll take it to the dealership this week to have it checked out, I’m suspecting it needs to be re-calibrated. I have over 80 pictures of the car and it’s easy for me to take more of anything requested. Just let me know what you would like. Please contact me with any questions you have, I’m working evenings this weekend but will find time to talk with you about any questions you have. Included: CarCraft Custom fit cover ($200) 2 Keyless remotes and keys Shipping: I realize that the buyer will most likely be outside of CA and as such I will drive the car up to 2 hours (ie Reno, NV) Even if you decide to have the car shipped I could drop it off in NV to save some on shipping costs. Contact me and we can work out any details. Payment: Paypal works great for deposits, we can work out the details on the paymmethod, but money orders or cashier’s checks would be the easiest. Clear SC Title. No Salvage History. No Rebuilt History. No Flood Damage. No Liens.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
Chevrolet Malibu gets aggressive redesign for 2016
Wed, Apr 1 2015Cars like the Ford Fusion, Kia Optima and Chrysler 200 have recently raised the styling bar in the midsize sedan game is. In that regard, the rather anonymous Chevrolet Malibu has suffered in recent years. That no longer appears to be an issue with the 2016 Malibu, which is simply caked with interesting elements. The wide, aggressive grille, expressive headlights and angled LED running lamps make the Malibu look like the Impala's much angrier little brother. In back, the Impala inspiration is there, but like the fascia, it's noticeably more aggressive, with a sharper cant to the taillights and a pair of large, integrated dual exhausts (at least on the 2.0-liter, turbocharged model being featured by Chevy). Designers also worked to give the 'Bu a bit more character in the profile, adding a pair of character lines to cut back on the last-gen car's slab-sided looks. While the exterior could almost be described as sporting, the brown-and-beige color scheme in the cabin is noticeably more relaxed. A large, central MyLink system sits atop the dash, while drivers will also have access to a dedicated display in the instrument cluster. A thick-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel is a bit on the large side, but still looks like a nice piece to work. You can read a lot more about the new 2016 Malibu in our original post from early this morning. But before you do that, have a look at our full gallery of live images from the floor of the Javits Center. All-New Malibu is Larger, More Technological and Efficient New hybrid sedan projected to offer combined rating north of 45 MPG DETROIT Chevrolet today introduced the all-new 2016 Malibu a completely restyled midsize sedan engineered to offer more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever. An all-new hybrid powertrain, which leverages technology from the Chevrolet Volt, will help offer a GM-estimated combined rating north of 45 mpg. The Malibu's standard 1.5L turbo powertrain is projected to offer 37 mpg highway. The 2016 Malibu is also longer and lighter, with more interior space and improved fuel efficiency. Its wheelbase has been stretched close to four inches (101 mm), and it is nearly 300 pounds (136 kg) lighter than the current model. "Midsize customers tell us they want great fuel economy, connected technologies, wrapped in a gorgeous exterior. This is exactly what the 2016 Malibu was engineered to do," said Jesse Ortega, Malibu chief engineer.
Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
