FLORIDA TITLE IN HAND. READY TO BE SOLD. CALL NOW 850-319-7658
Reason for being sold:
Was given as a gift by my grandfather to my two brothers and I. The car has to be sold and split 3 ways.
How many owners:
This Corvette has basically 1 owner in it's lifetime. My grandfather purchased it brand new in 1986. It comes with the original transaction receipt which is framed and you will get with the car. He paid $35,824.00 out the door. He gifted the car to me 2 months ago, and now it is in my name.
Upgrades:
All of these listed below were original factory upgrades including price.
1. Six-Way Power Seat: $240.00
2. ABB8 Graphite Leather Adjustable Sport Bucket Seats: 1025.00
3. Power Door Lock System: $190.00
4. Radiator Cooling Boost Fan: $75.00
5. Engine Oil Cooler: $110.00
6. Electronic Speed Control W/Resume SPD: $185.00
7. Delco-GM/Bose Music System: $905.00
8. Heavy Duty Radiator: $40.00
These were all the factory upgrades he did.
He also added:
Upgraded Chevrolet Corvette Matte Black Mag Wheels that were made in England. He couldn't have these shipped into California due to regulations so they were shipped to Arizona and put on there. They were quite expensive back when he originally purchased them in 1986. He told me the original purchase price on the rims was $2600.00
Upgraded rear taillights. These are like no other that you will see on a pace car. They were the "European Style."
What else comes with the car:
Now this is the amazing thing about the car. I have two full binders filled with information on the car. Every original transaction receipt, every magazine about the car, 5 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car hats, a can of the original 1986 yellow car paint, a second set of pace car details, a second set of Corvette decals for the window, and also the framed receipt and a plaque. Everything you could possibly want comes with the car.
Any flaws?
The only issues the car has is that the A/C does not blow cold, and also the radio turns on but you cannot hear anything. I just had this vehicle serviced at the Carl Black Chevy Dealership here in Orlando and their Corvette guy told me this was one of the strongest running Vette's he has ever seen.
If you have any questions or would like to set up a time to check out the car feel free to let me know!

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
