This 1985 Chevrolet Corvette is a limited edition to commemorate the offshore power boat race in Miami Fl in 1985 and was also to signify the origin of the cars name, corvette (sometimes corvet) is a small, maneuverable, lightly armed warship. The car was the top optioned model for a 1985 Corvette of it's day and has a special paint scheme to show the Nautical connection of the car to the race. 2 were given away at the event and this is one of them. The cars history reveals only 3 owners and NO ACCIDENTS. The car is completely original except for the factory radio which stopped working long ago.
It's not a perfect car, the power door lock switch does not work from, the power hatch release on the drivers door panel is a little loose but works (The release in the center console is in fine order), the paint has a couple of scratches, the hand painted pin strip has some wear in one spot, the passenger side headlight needs a new gear on the motor (Available on Ebay for around $36 with shipping), the wheather stripping around windows have some wear, the dash has 2 small cracks, the driverside door panel does show a little sign of its age by being slightly discolored where you arm would sit.
The good stuff, the engine runs fantastic with ZERO smoking and very little oil seepage (Would love to say dry as a bone, but as soon as I say that some one would buy the car and have a pin head size oil spot after a year and say I did not disclose a leak), the transmission shifts flawlessly, the rear diff is quite as the day it was built, no exhaust issues, recent tune with plug wires, windows work as they should, all gauges work as designed, the NEW radio plays excellently, the rear hatch has NEW struts, the carpet is original and NO HOLES, fog lamps work, seats are in remarkable condition, power seat works as designed, wheels are in good shape with nearly new tires, paint shines good all over, nose and tail rubbers are in great shape, dash lighting is exactly as new, A/C is cold, no water leaks when it rains, runs cool.
This car again is in original condition, not modified. It does not look like a car of this age as it has been garaged most of it's life. Please don't take what I am saying to mean it is in perfect condition, but it is in very good condition and should make a great collection piece if you are into "Original" cars it's going to fit your bill just fine. If you are into "Perfect condition, this would be a good platform to start. I have a YouTube video tour available upon request. The buyer must pay all cost related to transportation to you.

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.
GM extends production at Detroit factory until early 2020
Fri, Feb 22 2019General Motors Co said on Friday it had extended the production at its Detroit Hamtramck plant until January 2020, against an earlier plan to discontinue production in June this year. The No.1 U.S. automaker is revamping its operations, which include plant closures and thousands of job cuts, as it looks to boost profitability in the wake of declining U.S. auto sales. The Hamtramck plant will continue to produce the Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CT6 sedans until early next year, the company said. "We are balancing production timing while continuing the availability of Cadillac advanced technology features currently included in the CT6-V — the Blackwing Twin-Turbo V-8 (engine) and Super Cruise (driver assistance system)," GM said. The plant has already discontinued production of the Buick LaCrosse sedan and Chevrolet Volt electric hybrid car. Detroit-based union United Auto Workers' President Gary Jones said GM's decision to continue production at the plant was a relief for the workers as well as their families. "We commend GM for today's decision and we reiterate the importance of a collective bargaining process in times like these," Jones said. Reporting by Ankit Ajmera. Related Video:
Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
