Redondo Beach, California, United States

I am the original owner of this car. It was custom ordered by me as a General Motors Employee in 1994 and received at Champion Chevrolet in Manhattan Beach, California in January 1995. It has been in California its entire life and is rust free. The paint is still shinny.  The car has a Black Cloth Top with a Grey Leather interior. I ordered the car with a 5 speed manual transmission since I like to shift for my self. I am recently retired and have too many cars and not enough storage space. With sadness I have decided to let this one go and let someone else enjoy it. The car is all original with no modifications except for an alarm system and locking gas cap.

This is a very sharp looking convertible. In a few years this car will be considered a classic and will appreciate considerably. It is a great investment. The 6 cylinder engine runs on regular gas and is more economical than its 8 cylinder brother. This car has always passed the California smog test, most recently, late last year. 

In Jan. 20th 2003 with 101,079 miles the engine blew a head gasket and rather than have the gasket replaced, I replaced the entire engine with a new factory engine (this is a new engine not a remanufactured one) at a cost of $5,000. In the pictures is the paper work and receipts for the new engine. The car presently has 129,357. This means the new engine has 28,278 miles on it. I have the boot (goes in when top goes down) in new condition with the carrying case. I used it one time. Included are all of the maintenance and repair records from day one. 

The driver side window sticks sometimes and should be looked into. The drivers side needs a sun visor. Sometimes I hear a squeal in one of the wheels it may be a wheel bearing that needs replacement. I has been this way for a long time. In the past 5 years I have driven this car around the block twice a week to keep it running. The car always starts but you may consider replacing the battery since it is very old. The plastic front bumper has a crack it it. If you put the mask on it hides it. The rear bumper is scratched and has a small vertical crack in the plastic which do not show in the pictures. One of the two power unlock and power window switches is broken. I replaced one a few years back for $5. The tires are in great shape with lots of tread life remaining. I have a lifetime alignment policy with Firestone. The glove box sometimes opens if you go over a bump. The leather interior is in good shape with the exception of the drivers side bolster (see picture). The cloth convertible top is original and has no tears and is still in good shape. There is a slight discoloration along the top in the material (see pictures). These factory tops were made in Germany and of amazing quality. The right rear quarter panel has a few small dings and scratches (see picture) near where the antenna goes. An indigent man on a bicycle hit it in a parking lot. The antenna is in the trunk. I take it off to put the car cover on. The radio, CD and all speakers work. The cruise control works. The convertible top works. The A/C needs to be re-charged. I live near the beach we don't use air conditioning around here. 

I have the California Title in Hand. The car has been continuously registered since I bought it in 1995.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
