Here's your chance to own a part of Corvette history.  Chevrolet produced 1163 replicas of the 1998 Corvette Indianapolis 500 Pace Cars. However, only a handful participated at the actual race.  This car was purchased from Richard Berry's collection of pace cars.

This is the IMS Number 1 track car.  The Number 2 track car actually paced the race and sold at the January 2014 Mecum Auction for a hammer price of $100,000. You can own this historically significant car for much less. The car is in excellent condition with only 2100 original miles and is fully stock accept for tinted windows and a clear nose bra.  These items can be removed at the new owner's request.

Previous owner had a strobe light system professionally installed.  The power control units are hidden under a compartment in the trunk.  This system is great for car shows. 

Car is documented with 2 original window stickers.  One window sticker shows the car was delivered to GM's NAO CVO-TECH CENTER REGION in Warren, Michigan.  The second window sticker shows the car was delivered to Bud Wolf Chevrolet in Indianapolis, Indiana.  Also included with the documentation is a copy of the MSO and a letter from GM stating the significance of this car.  The original owner's manual as well as the pace car decal box also comes with the car.

If you have any questions, please call Brian at 407-403-4010.  Good luck and happy bidding!

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
