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.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
