Up for auction is our 1982 Collector Edition Corvette, we started to fix this up for my wife but have too many irons in the fire to complete it. There were 6,759 of these cars made in 1982. This car has a clear Oregon title, the crossfire injection motor was rebuilt (numbers matching long block) by Portland Engine Rebuilders (Larson and King). The rest of the engine assembly and installation was done by an ASE Certified mechanic. The engine has not been fired since being rebuilt. We purchased this car as a project, we have not ever tried the power stuff (windows, locks, seat, etc.)
The car comes with the new in the box GM mirrored glass T-Top panels, we have purchased two new wheels with center caps, the a/c condenser was tested (it's good) and repainted. We installed a new carpet kit, there are new carpet pieces for the seat backs as well. The factory standard options are: Original leather interior (in decent condition), power driver seat, power radio antenna, storage compartment cover, air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, disc brakes and a lighted vanity mirror for the passenger side. All 1982 Corvettes had an automatic transmission, manual transmissions were not available in 1982. Rear glass hatch window *****
The car still needs to finish being assembled, it needs a new windshield, and radiator. The body of the car is in great shape, it should be repainted to look really great but it is ok for a driver. This will be a great car, it just needs some assembly.
**** All of the shocks, latches and such are in the car for the rear hatch glass, however we do not have the correct glass for the car. We do have a standard non hatch glass for the rear. The standard glass can be installed while you track down the hatch style glass piece.
Please contact us with any questions. If there is an area you would like a photo of that is not shown in this listing, please let us know. Buyer is responsible for transportation of the Corvette after the auction has ended. Buyer has 30 days to remove the car from our property. $500 non refundable deposit is due at auction end via Pay Pal, we prefer to have the balance paid in cash. Local delivery can be arranged within 100 miles of Portland Oregon for an extra fee. We are not selling this car with a warranty or any guarantee given or implied.
Thank you for looking and good luck.

2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery
Tue, Oct 28 2014Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 – marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." – Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings – the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera – but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.
Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge
Sat, Sep 9 2017Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america
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.
