1989 Chevrolet Corvette Base Hatchback 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States

hello up for auction is my 1989 chevy corvette it has a six speed manual and good clutch I bought this car a few weeks back to have as a daily driver but it's become more involved than I want.she runs and the engine sounds very healthy I've changed almost every relay.I drove her for a bout 15 minutes when I picked her up and she ran like a bat out of hell but for some reason the electric cooling fan doesn't kick in and she started to run hot so I had her flat bedded the rest of the way home to spare the engine.she starts hard(you need starting fluid )and won't idle on her own till she warms up a little,when she gets to operating temp she accelerates great but once she gets hot she seems to bog down and lose power I don't know if this is a separate issue or related to the temp.the tires are all dry rotted which is a shame cause they have a lot of tread.the owner before me had her a few years as a project and redid the brake lines among other things.the car cosmetically is in beautiful shape and all gauges and lights are operational,the seats are leather the pass seat is worn on the inboard side.I haven t tested the ac so I can t say if it works or not.I've posted three videos of her on youtube if you want to hear her run and get a look at her.I love the car but I need a daily driver and not a project even though it could be something simple.low reserve thanks for looking the titles for the videos follow:

Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
2014 Ford Mustang GT
Fri, 17 May 2013I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
