Here is a nice 1987 GMC Caballero.  The Caballero is the sister car to the Chevy El Camino.  Since Ebay doesn't list the Caballero in the models I used the El Camino listing to make sure she was listed with the other like cars.  Everywhere I drive this car people ask me about it.  I am the second owner of this car.  Previous owner passed and his son sold it to me in an estate type sale about 5 years ago.  It ran well when I got it but I made alot of improvements.  Originally it was black but need to be painted because it was a little faded and I wanted her to look sharp.  I have had the engine gone through by a professional mechanic - he rebuilt the carburator, installed new battery, replaced the oil pan, installed new brake lines.  I installed some nice 16 inch wheels and white letter tires, had it painted, also converted it to dual exhaust.  I also had the seats recovered and new carpet installed.  I also added a nice stereo system installed with large new speakers behind the seats (It Rocks!).  Stereo also has a USB port.  When I bought it I noticed a slight body roll when I purchased it so I took it to a race mechanic and installed a larger steering (Sway bar - I think is what it's called) system.  Now she sticks to the road like a Jungle Cat!  There is no Body roll on this car!  Exit and entry ramps are a blast!  (in more ways than one). It is a pretty fast car - but I have babied her since she is a little old.  Going down the highway she rides like my Cadillac!  Let go of the wheel and she stays straight.  Will she spin the tires?  YES!  but only one will spin!  Some people have suggested adding Positive traction but I've already got too much money in it.  Is the air cold?  It's cool but will leak down.  Originally I think it was Freon - but I have had some guys convert it to modern (whatever it is now).  Maybe theres a leak in the system somewhere - but it is cold for quite a while.  The suspension is nice - I guess it could use some modern front shocks but the rear is "air-ride".  Yes, you can add air to the rear shocks through a valve beside the gas cap.  The black rubber (window sills?) are dry rotted and rain will leak down into the doors.  when caught out in the rain.  I have kept her in the garage most of the time - I have noticed a few rust bubbles down low in the door panels.  My mechanic says it wouldn't be too much to take care of.  Well, I HATE to see her go but...it's tax time and I am moving out some of my toys.   This is a FUN car to drive - I have used her as a daily driver over the past 4-5 years and I know she will serve her next owner well.  Good luck!

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs

Thu, Nov 5 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.
