Florida car currently in Iowa for the summer. With a little TLC could be show-car quality; only selling because I want to upgrade to a C5 or C6.
New interior from Ecklers -- seats (with original 40th Anniversary logo), carpet, sun visors; almost flawless paint, except for a few road nicks on the front bumper. Features include: 5.7 Liter 300 HP V8 Engine ,Automatic transmission with multi-port fuel injection, Acceleration Slip Regulation, Power Rack & Pinion steering, Power front and rear disc brakes, one piece removable clear roof panel, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Rear window defogger, cruise control, Steering Wheel-Leather Wrapped, Analog/Digital instrumentation, Air Bag - Driver , ABS anti-lock brakes, Tilt Wheel, Temperature-controlled Electronic Air Conditioning, Delco/Bose music system with CD & Cassette, 6 way power Bucket Seats (driver), dual electric remote heated and power operated outside rearview mirrors w/convex "bllind spot" on drivers side, Mirrors-Vanity-driver and passenger, Wheels-Bright Aluminum, Fog Lights, Reading Lamps-Front, Intermittent Wipers and remote glass rear hatch release. Currently Registered, with Clean title, driven every day.
Runs strong, great looker, a real head-turner. Lots of compliments, and folks not familiar with Corvettes can't believe the age when I tell them. Non-smoking car. Everything works except for the power door locks, power antenna (have a temporary replacement on there now), and the CD player. (Radio works fine.) New tires in 2011 with only about 12000 miles on them. All repair and maintenance records for the past three years. I have owned this car for three years; the previous owner, a "senior citizen" like me, owned it for I think 7. I've put about 15,000 miles on it with very few issues, all of them minor. Most C4's have much more obvious wear and tear than this one. Sorry for the poor quality pictures; my camera isn't the best.
Kelly Blue Book value with 81k miles is $13184 private party, $15884 dealer, NADA $12700 to $17100. (NADA and KBB price estimates available at nadaguides.com and kbb.com.) CARFAX report is clean, and available upon request.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If 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.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
