Im putting up for auction a rare & unique 1996 LT4 Corvette coupe. I bought this car as a summer driver but getting in and out of the car on a daily basis isnt as easy as I thought it would be. Car is in excellent condition with only 60k miles & has an excellent carfax. Mileage is currently at 60500. I drive the car occasionally so it might go up but not by much. First off the car is an LT4 model. The LT4 engine was only available to 6 speed models in 1996. They produced around 21500 Vettes in 1996 and only 6500 of them were LT4s. These motors were known to have been grossly underrated in power output by GM. The official GM stated output was 330hp, however many stock units were dyno'd at close to 400hp. Most speculate GM deliberately underrated them so they wouldn't overshadow the upcoming LS1 engine in the C5 corvette. To make this car stand out from other LT4s out there it has had thousands of dollars in extras/modifications invested in it. Here is a list of what has been done or installed:
1. Black Grandsport/ZR-1 Rims
2. Brand new matching tires all around(275/40/17s front & 315/35/17 rears) Tires are Sumitomo HTR-Zs. Ill include the original receipt for any warranty purposes.
3.Long tube headers(I still have the originals). I think they are TPiS but not sure.
4. Borla exhaust.
5.Custom 3 inch tubing with X-pipe connecting headers to the Borlas
6.MSD Digital 6 Plus Ingition, MSD wires, and MSD Coil(coil not installed yet)
7.Grandsport paint stripes(painted- NOT decals)
8. New double din JVC cd/radio with aftermarket speakers replacing the Bose units.
9. Hypertech programmed with programmer included. Performance programming uploaded. Speedo re-calibrated for larger tires. Engine fan set to come on at lower temperature. Stock programming is on the programmer.
10. Short shifter installed. Not sure if its a B&M or a Hurst. For those that dont know what a short shifter is, be aware though that the throws are short & "notchy" Also it has the 1 to 4 bypass installed.
11. Granatelli Motorsports MAF(I have the original MAF if needed)
As mentioned above, the car has long-tube headers installed, thus it doesnt have the cats installed. When the previous owner bought the car it came with the factory headers/cats installed & with a cat-back Borla exhaust system. The previous owner then removed the factory headers/cats & installed the long tube headers and a custom exhaust with x-pipe connected to the Borla mufflers. I still also have the rest of the Borla cat-back system as well as the factory headers and cats. If you buy this car you can choose to drive it in its current setup(long tube headers, no cats, custom exhaust with x-pipe, and Borla mufflers) or you can revert back to the previous system(factory headers & cats, cat-back Borla system). The previous owner did have no problem passing emission checks with the currently installed system, though. Cheater plugs are used for the oxygen sensors. No check engine lights are on. Original sensors are in still in the cats.
Car is Torch Red with the black Grandsport stripe scheme. As mentioned before, the stripes are painted, they are not decals. No leaks. Goes down the road straight. Manual 6-speed transmission. Right now I have a round Momo shift knob on it but it also comes with a smaller leather knob as well. Leather dual power seats in great shape-no rips or tears. Auto climate control that blows cold air & the vent buttons work(unlike most 96 Vettes). It has a double din JVC radio/cd player. Bose speakers were replaced with aftermarket by previous owner. Original factory housings are used though-no cutting or cheesy looking aftermarket grills or housings. Radio was a factory fit so there is no cutting of the bezel. Radio plays MP3s and has a front USB input for ipod or other devices. You also have the option of adding JVCs aftermarket bluetooth module if so desired. This radio supports it. All manuals(including original window sticker), two sets of keys with key fobs. FOBs work & so does the PKE, though I currently have it disabled. I have the security socket for the lug nuts as well as the ratchet for the roof. Paint & body are in awesome shape for its age. Id rate them an 8 out of 10. Im being conservative though & realistically they are probably closer to an 8.5/9. If I go over the car carefully Id probably find a stone chip or two but overall the paint/body are in great shape. Interior is a 7.5 out of 10 with some signs of wear hear & there. Mainly the most wear is on the side of the shift console plate, right where your knee would hit. The rubber coating is worn away. I dont really notice it since my knee is in that spot. A new console plate will run you about $105 plus shipping off Ebay.
The bad: the power antenna mast no longer goes down. Its stuck in the up position & the motor works but it needs a new ribbon(I have the repair kit, just havent installed it). Also some of the weather stripping is starting to dry up. Nothing major but I do notice it in some spots. Very common with these Vettes. The rear hatch has some tint applied. It wasnt a very good job & there is some wrinkling near the bottom center. At one point there must have been a speaker or amp mounted in the back. There are some indents on the rear hatch carpet but arent really noticeable. One of the fobs has a piece of tape holding it together. It still works though. The previous owner put some small stickers in the door jambs on both sides. These are small "borla", "hypertech", and "K&N" stickers. I was too scared to try to remove them so they are still there. There is also a small "Holley" sticker under the hood which you can see in some of the pics.

This car definitely turns heads. Between its mean sounding exhaust and unique paint job it really grabs attention. Ive had several C5 & C6 owners tell me it was a really nice looking Vette. They really loved the torch red, black stripes, and black rims combination. I really like what the previous owner did to this car to make it stand out from other Vettes/LT4s. The only thing I would have done different is probably not installed the short shifter. I dont care for it but others really like it. It came with the car however, so its going with the car.
Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping costs. I have no problem, though, helping with any shipping arrangements on my end. If the final bid is over $13k, I would drive the car for up to a 200 mile radius if that helps. The factory headers/cats should fit in the back hatch but if you want the unused section of the Borla exhaust system, youll need a separate vehicle. I had no problem setting it in the back of a 2011 Impala with the seats folded down.
I might be open to straight-up trades to those within a 200 mile radius.
For the winning bidder, cash & wire transfers are fastest & preferred. I will accept a bank check but I will confirm the funds with the bank first before I release the car. I own the car & have the title in hand.
You can contact me via Ebay or call me at 920-791-0919 with questions. You are more than welcome to come check the car out before the auction ends.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*
Tue, May 6 2014Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.
