NO RESERVE
Beautiful 1986 Corvette Indy Pace Car Edition (badge on console). Ermine White, Red Leather Upholstery, Automatic Transmission, full power equipment etc-- see pic of Monroney label.
Description: The 86 C4 Convertible was the beginning of the convertibles again after not being made for 10 years. Open air motoring carried a significant price increase-- $5000 premium over the Coupe and cracked the over Thirty Thousand mark for the first time. This 28 year old sports muscle car has less than 46,000 original documented miles and is adult owned by a National Corvette Restorer's Society (NCRS) member/judge. This car has been judged Blue Ribbon Top Flight 3 times-- in 2009 at the St. Louis National Convention and the last time in 2013 Hampton, VA at the NCRS National Convention. The car was driven to and from both these events from California by the owner (was awarded the Longest Drive ribbon). The car has a personally signed (2009 and 2013) distributor cover by Dave McLelland, GM Chief Engineer of the C4 series. The Award certificates are also signed by Dave-- see pics.
The car has 5000 mile 'old' BF Goodrich tires and new battery. Everything works correctly on the car EXCEPT the Cassette Tape player.
Otherwise, the Delco Bose AM/FM sound system and the automatic electric antenna works perfectly.
The interior is in excellent condition-- if the pictures seem "orangy" in color it's because of the sunshine/lighting. All carpeting is in original red bright color.
The body has never been accidented and the paint is 100% original and in excellent condition.
The vinyl top material is in good condition but has suffered a few tiny cuts due to being put up and down-- see pics.
History; Total production of 1986 models: 27794 Coupes and only 7315 Convertibles making this a fairly rare model and likely to increase in desireability and value in years to come.
Documentation: This car was delivered new in Walnut Creek, CA in December, 1986 to a Doctor who put 13,000 miles on it, then sold it to another Doctor in Sacramento, CA who sold it to me at 22,000 miles. It's an original, genuine California rust-free automobile.
The car is being sold AS IS/WHERE IS and No Warranty is expressed or implied. Your mechanic/representative is welcome to inspect the car. I will pick up the buyer at the Oakland or San Francisco airport to effect delivery.
All questions will be honestly and completely answered and I have other pictures if you want them. Or I can take pictures of anything specific if you wish.
I don't think this car has any surprises-- it runs well and is ready to drive anywhere!
NO RESERVE!

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification

Sun, Mar 1 2020

Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado GearOn Edition is ready to do that outdoorsy thing

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

Why does Chevy want to trademark Camaro Krypton?

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang have the type of long-lived rivalry that is often found in the pages of comic books. Is the Camaro the Kryptonite to the Mustang's Superman, though? We might get to find out soon, if two recent trademark filings are any hints. On May 5, General Motors filed trademarks in the US for both Krypton and Camaro Krypton (not pictured above). While the move seemed potentially timed with the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next year, engineer Al Oppenheiser shot that theory down to The Detroit Free Press. "I think that's just Internet buzz, which is great," he said to the newspaper about the alleged connection. "It's another thing about this segment of cars: there's always Internet buzz." Rather than a special edition connected to next the superhero film, Oppenheiser speculated something else. "Sometimes when we come up with a new color in our studios, they just apply [for a trademark] in case we ever use it," he said to The Detroit Free Press. "We never said we're going to do anything with that color." Still, as Superman's home planet and part of the name for the mineral that can harm him, Krypton undoubtedly has a superhero connection. To maintain the link to the comics, such a color would likely be a shade of green. Although, depending on the depiction in the books, the exact hue can vary between bright neon and a darker tone.
