This auction is for my 1998 Corvette Convertible which is a triple black with black z06 rims. Exterior/Interior/Top black. As much as i do not want to sell this car, I have bought a couple of fixer upper houses that are in need of more cash then originally thought. Let me start with the bads which are few:
1. Cars paint is better then ok but is faded in the back some, and to be honest i would overall give it a 6.5 out of 10
2. Air conditioning is in need of a $300 fix (has a failing seal) price was quoted at the Hot Rod Barn in Morris. I personally dont care about the air as i dont drive in the rain and most of the time have the top down.
3. Top has a leak around the rear window which could be fixed with hot glue but eventually will need replaced.
HONESTLY THAT IS ALL THE BADS!
Now for the goods:
1. I purchased this car a little over a year ago for $11,000 and last August 2012 had the engine, transmission, rear end completely rebuilt and beefed up from the cars original 350 hp to nearly 500 hp (485 dyno tested). The engine was re-done using the best of parts by The Hot Rod Barn (professional speed shop). Every single part that had updates since the original build on the car was done (in other words when the car was originally built in 1998 there were parts that were not as good as some that are available now and i had all of them updated! Engine has a custom low lobe cam, dont hear it leaving others to think your stock (but the car is far from stock). I also had a $700 custom torque converter built for the car, the benifits to this converter is you only loose 15% hp from the crank to the rear tires which unlike stock Vettes that loose 38%, what this means to you is lightning fast take offs and excellerated shifting through the gears. This is about a 12.4 sec car. The transmission as well was 100% rebuilt and the rear diff was re-sealed, cleaned and tested. Now for the big surprise, which is the baddest exhaust system, i had American Racing Longtube ceramic headers installed and Stainless Works axle back exhaust ($1800 for the headers and $975 for the mufflers). The car sounds like a dragster at take off and when getting on it but purrs like a kitten when driving or cruising. I have got as much as 45 mpg while traveling on the interstates and as much as 35 in town. Total cost of the rebuild and exhaust system $15,000 and worth every penny. Brakes are in very good condition and the tires also only have 7500 miles on them (so they are practically new).
If you are looking for a fast car, that you can jump in and honestly take anywhere in the country over and over again, this is it! The cars body has 155K on it but lets face it we all worry about the mechanics of a car as that is what costs a fortune to fix and fix correctly. I chose The Hot Rod Barn to do my car because they had quite a few award winning Bloomington Gold Corvettes, not to mention show stopping restorations and some of the fastest times on the track. While I have never raced this car I can say that I have had it going over 125 mph and had a lot of pedal left for more fun. I have never done a burnout on in this and keep traction control on so that it will not do a burnout but do know it is capable of doing just about anything. If you want to hear the exhaust you or you want to talk to me about the car call me at 815-663-8148.

While other cars on ebay may have better paint, mechanically there isnt one close! There is a number of mechanical issues that the stock car has which have all been fixed and upgraded on this one. I also had a brand new $700 starter put into this, new water pump. Other cars that claim 70k miles have no upgrades and have been sitting causing the seals to be weak, mine has new everything mechanical and i would be more then happy to give you the number to the Hot Rod Barn where i had all the work done.
CASH ONLY AT TIME OF PICK UP - PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE AT THE END OF AUCTION, ALL PAYMENTS HAVE TO BE MADE 3 DAYS FROM PURCHASE.
Car is located in Spring Valley, Illinois 61362 - NOTE I AM NOT INTERESTED IN A HARLEY AND REALLY DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY TRADES UNLESS IT IS PROFESSIONAL WOODWORKING EQUIPMENT (BAND SAW, 12" OR WIDER JOINTER, PANEL ROUTER, CNC)

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not 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.
GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric
Wed, Feb 15 2017General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
