2005 Chevy SSR--6.0L LS2 Corvette Motor--14,699 Miles--Power Hard Top Convertible--Garage Kept Covered--Original Owner--No Rain--Extras


This vehicle was my father's baby.  He was an elderly adult and drove this only when it was nice out, to and from dialysis three times a week for 7 years. It has been garage kept covered since purchasing it.  It has never been abused, driven hard and meticulously maintained.  It has been washed, waxed and cleaned so often, I'm surprised the paint wasn't washed off!  He was insistent on adding aftermarket options as this was his personality.  He hired a local painter (kolorcraftautobody.com) to apply a $2500 custom airbrush flame detail to the silver base paint.  I thought it would be a bit tacky (flames), but it came out better than I believed it ever would.  The paint, detail and clear coat is of the highest quality.  After that was a visit to the local flagship auto accessory installer here in Syracuse (teamiu.com).  Window tint, a remote start, Xenon headlights, undercarriage blue neons & red brake calipers were added.  I asked why he needed a remote start for a summer vehicle only driven in nice weather but if you knew the man, you'd understand why.  He was a bit of a showoff.  An order from California Car Cover for a custom 2 tone cover would complete his accessorizing.  He was a fanatic about this car.  There was a dress code just to get a ride in it.  Clean shoes, or even no shoes (leave them at the curb), clean clothes were a must.  If you were one of the lucky ones, he'd let you get behind the wheel with him riding shotgun for a trip around the block.  Like I said, if you knew the man, you'd understand.  He will be sorely missed.


So there it is.  This will be a 7 day auction with reserve.  The reserve is set at $27,500,  which I think is a steal for what you are getting.  The 2014 Kelly Blue Book on this vehicle, in the shape it's in is $30,500.  Last year, the 2013 KBB value was $28,500, so it has appreciated 2k and will continue to rise as this rare car was only produced for 3 model years, and the last year they wedged the LS2 Corvette motor in it and dropped the 350.  Of course they detuned the LS2 15 HP so it wouldn't steal Corvette sales, but it's held it's own value wise against the C6.   


Ask any questions you like.  I prefer the vehicle is picked up locally, but if I had certified funds cleared in my bank account, and a car carrier showed up, it could leave.  I would assume the potential buyer would like to see this car first hand.  You won't be disappointed.


Also, very important.  This vehicle is listed locally as well so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if a local buyer steps up to the plate.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
