87 Vette 51000 Miles on 2040-cars
Madison, Ohio, United States
|
This is a 1987 Corvette with 51000 miles. I got the car on a trade around a year ago. It needs a bunch of TLC. I had the clutch slave cylinder, master cylinder throwout bearing replaced. The car has remained in a "Corvette specialist" shop for nearly a year for which I received nothing more than grief and a bill! All the things about the car are from prior owner, but seems motor is stout. So here goes, it's an earlier 350 4bolt main block with .030 cleanup with Summit pistons I'm told it's around 11.0 to 1 compression. It has a Competition Extreme energy cam, 510 lift 276 duration with Rhodes lifters. Aluminum heads with mild port and polish done. HEI distributor. 26lb injectors (new) also have 36lb injectors that go with. I'm told if you get rid of the factory fuel injection and swap to carb, should run ok. with engine mods computer just loads up with fuel making it undriveable. The "expert" continued to put new proms in but gave up. It will start and move around the driveway, but that's it. The car has the 4 + 3 trans. It comes with a truck load of spare parts from electrical to body parts. Needs someone to finish it, I have lost interest. I could be interested in a trade but no bikes or Vettes. Has black leather interior in fair condition tops of door panels are missing as is radio. Will need paint. Any questions please ask, if your feedback is less than 5 contact me first or I will remove your bid. $200.00 PayPal deposit end of auction. Balance due before car moves.
On Sep-17-14 at 11:02:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been asked what parts I have. A bit of everything, all used.. springs, fairing interior electrical, boxes of stuff will fill a pick up.. all goes will not seperate.. |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It 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.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It 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.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
