This is a beautiful car that has all the right parts to make it a fun daily driver or cruise in ready Corvette. This Corvette is a 1979 Model Year that has been well maintained and is very clean throughout. It runs and drives GREAT! It has enough tasteful upgrades to increase the fun factor, while preserving the originality and appearance of the car as Chevy intended. Very fun to drive, no issues with the engine, it runs clean, no smoke, or funny noises. The engine was treated to a complete overhaul 19K miles ago which included a bore and stroke to a 383ci helping this corvette come to life! It was built with performance and driveability in mind. With the custom Crane Cam you get a mild "lopey" idle you would expect from a performance muscle car but still maintains great idle and driveability with excess power throughout the power band. More than enough power to throw you back in the seat and put a smile on your face. Be forewarned, this car will smoke tires if you want it too. With the upgrades made to this car, it makes way more power than a stock Corvette of this year... To compliment the power, The Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers and duel exhaust creates a powerful note that is a must have for that deep throaty exhaust tones we all love. Transmission is in great shape and shifts firmly, no slipping and shifts through all gears with no problems noted. U-joints have been checked as well as rear end and there is no play as expected and no leaks or noises from the rear end. It plants the power to the tires which are nearly new Cooper Cobra Radial Tires with perhaps 4,000 miles on them and they all show like new with 90+ percent tread on them with no repairs or damage noted, mounted and balanced on a matching set of Boyd custom polished aluminum wheels. The interior is VERY nice, it has fresh upholstery done over the summer with new OEM seats, carpet etc. It is very clean and detailed. This Corvette has the Mirrored T-Tops and they lock into place securely with no water leaks or wind noise noticeable. The paint is very nice, a classic red that screams performance. While the paint is not perfect, is shows very nice and I would rate it a 9/10. The fiberglass is all good and structurally sound. I got this car over the summer from a gentleman who was in need of cash, so I helped him out, I drove it for a month daily with no issues and it was a blast to drive, but alas, I am a Ford Mustang guy and so while fun, it is just not my "type" of car to hang onto long term, but I know this will be the perfect car for someone who appreciates the classic looks of the C3 body style. The car does show signs of wear here and there, it is not perfect in any way, but it is a very nice and clean car for this vintage and has been well taken care of. As I said, I only drove it for a short time, but the only thing that doesn't work that I have noticed is the tachometer.  Which I hear is an easy fix from some of the research I had done, but not something I have had time to fix and it does not hamper driveability. The odometer is in excess of its capabilities, it is working and has rolled over and currently reads 05203, I am told by previous owner who was the 2nd owner according to him that it is indeed 105,203 but I have no way to verify this or discredit this, the best I can say is the wear on the car is consistent with 105,203 miles, although beware this may not be an accurate figure. Additionally, included with the car is a fitted car cover to protect it from dust and the elements. I am sure there is more, it is impossible to describe every detail of a car but this is a good overview of it. Any other questions or details I have missed, please message me and I will be happy to help clarify or provide answers. Remember, if you don't ask, I can't answer!

The car is sold as is, where is, with no warranty. I urge prospective buyers to take all precautions available to arrange inspections prior to and before placing bids. Your bid is a contract to purchase, not a contract to come inspect. This advertisement is intended to give you a brief overview of the car and is not a substitute for due diligence and a personal inspection by you and or your mechanic. Remember this car is about 34 years old, and is not perfect, though it is very nice. The photos are of the actual car for sale, and show it well. If you need additional photos or have questions I am happy to address them for you. Every effort has been made to provide an accurate advertisement, however I will not be liable for typos, errors or inadvertent omissions in the description, that is the purpose of you coming and doing a pre-bid inspection so you can see it in full detail and verify every aspect of the car you want. I require an immediate non-refundable deposit of $500 through paypal within 24 hours, the balance is required within 7 days in the form of cash or bank check. You are welcome to fly in and drive home, or you may arrange shipping of the car at your expense and you are responsible for arranging delivery, although I will help in any way I can. The title is clear, from the Oregon DMV and it is in hand and will be transferred to the buyer. 1 set of keys included. The car will not be released to shipper or buyer until funds have cleared my bank, so please allow time for this or come in person with cash or we can meet at your bank if there is a branch here local to me. Any questions or concerns please let me know and I will be happy to help.

Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars

Wed, Feb 12 2014

More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
