1995 Corvette Pace Car Replica on 2040-cars
Yorktown, Indiana, United States
|
I have an awesome, fun, fast, budget-friendly RARE Corvette up for auction. A 1995 Pace Car Corvette. This is not one of the few track cars that graced the Indy 500 but it is one of the 415 that went to Chevrolet's top Corvette sellers. This particular car was delivered to Boucher Chevrolet in Waukesha, WI. All in all, there were only 527 built, which is a very low production amount. By comparison, there were 6500 '78 Corvette pace cars built, over 7000 '86 pace cars as all convertibles were designated pace cars, and 1000 '96 Grand Sport's. I believe the '95-'96 Corvettes are the best bang for your buck out there. I have a GS and both of these cars are simply a blast to drive and the Pace Car gets just as many looks as the GS with it's special purple and white paint and top down. With only 527 world-wide you likely won't pass another one in your town.
This car has 90k miles but it looks like 30k, it has been very well taken care of Take a look at the pictures. The Goodyear F1's are new ($1200), the paint shines as it should. The first owner drove it to see the country for 88,000 highway miles before he passed away. The second owner put just 2,000 miles on it and he installed the stainless tips for a more throaty sound, I have the original can mufflers/tips (it does sound good). A few signs I can tell this Corvette was meticulously cared for: there is absolutely no curb rash on any of the wheels, the engine compartment and wheel wells are immaculate, the bolster area of the driver's seat shows what looks like 30,000 miles worth of wear (see picture). This car needs nothing. It shows no codes, the steering wheel is perfectly straight. The top is in great shape and I assume it is original. It has a tiny 1/8th inch nick in it. The car drives and shifts as it should, it is not a rattle trap, very solid. No smoke whatsoever. The rear bumper has some crack lines in the paint (see picture) and the console has two spots where the finish peeled (picture). I bought a new passive entry remote for it. I have the original window sticker, bill of sale, and key knockouts, and owner's manual. It comes with a nice custom car cover and I may throw in two matching freshly dry-cleaned Pace Car jackets ($400 value) if I get what I think the car is worth. Clean, clear Indiana title showing actual miles. I am not a dealer so you can save $. These C4's are nice cars for the money. Why not get one of the most rare ones out there for just a bit more than a regular C4. You won't be disappointed. For sale locally so I may end this listing. Low reserve. Feel free to call me 765-717-9314, my name is Mark. On Apr-26-14 at 06:50:01 PDT, seller added the following information: I wanted to point out that there is a spot of white paint peeled off on the battery access side panel, about an inch around. It would be an easy fix since it is on the rib just below the hood. Ebay won't let me add a any pictures so message me and I will send a couple. I also noticed there are two silver caps missing from the lug nuts, these are readily available. *I think these cars will rise in value over the years. History has proven that low production numbers translate into higher collectability and values. I would keep this one but my wife doesn't see it my way....I know I will regret selling it someday. On May-01-14 at 06:38:43 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had a few questions and concerns on the condition of this car. If you didn't look at the odometer you would think this car has 20k-30k miles on it. The only indication it may have more miles is that the driver's side speaker cover carpet is worn. These are available for $120, personally, I'd look for a good used one. It IS almost 20 years old. The mileage calculates out to 4530 miles a year and most of these were highway miles by the original owner (as per the second owner who bought the car from original owner's widow). The two lug nut covers will be replaced when they get here. Also, the original jack and spare tire are in place and appear to have never been used. Although I have no service records I have the Carfax which shows no accidents and shows the starter replaced at 81,033 on 4/3/2012 and a new battery at 89,304 on 9/19/2013........guys, if you aren't completely satisfied when you come get this car, you don't have to take it. |

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
