This auction is for a 1981 Corvette which has been involved in a front end collision. It was paid off by the former owners insurance company, and I purchased it from their auction. The title has been signed over by the insurance company, but has not been stamped salvage. This may or may not deem the title salvage, depending on your state's laws.

The car is in great shape for it's age. The interior looks to have been restored at some point and is in beautiful condition as seen in the pics. The body looks excellent, except for the obvious damage to the front end. I have a lot of experience with C3 Corvettes and this one looks like it had never been hit before. The frame looks straight, I see nothing bent, except possible the horns at the very front, which are very thin and can be moved with a hammer if needed. The remainder of the frame is exceptionally clean for a 33 yr old car. The exhaust is in excellent condition and looks fairly new. The tires look fairly new too, with lots of tread.

The car starts right up and idles fine, sounds good, with no noise or smoke. I see a Crane Cam sticker inside the hood, the car has a nice lope to it. Other than that, the engine appears all original, down to the valve covers and air cleaner. It has a small exhaust leak and there is a pair of hoses missing from the AIR pump to the exhaust manifolds. The car drives in the yard. The brakes work but the pedal feels soft.

There is an aftermarket stereo in the dash, along with a multi disc CD changer and amp in the back cargo area. The car also has a very nice set of PPG glass t tops.

I have all of the damaged parts that I removed from the car and have saved the hardware in Ziploc bags.

This car is being relisted due to a non paying bidder. Please do not bid unless you intend to follow through with your commitment. You are bidding to buy the car, not to think about whether you want it or not. If you are a new bidder with zero feedback please email me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. I'm sorry to have to say all of this but some people ruin it for everybody. This car is being sold as a repairable in as is condition, with no warranty. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that it has been repaired to roadworthy condition before driving on public roads. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I can list it on Central Dispatch to help find a ride home for it. We will be glad to help load the car on our end. Please feel free to email me with any questions.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
