Watseka, Illinois, United States

For sale: 1991 Chevy Camaro RS Convertible with factory ordered 3.1 liter V6      (231 cubic inch) motor, automatic overdrive transmission, factory convertible, air conditioning, power brakes and steering, cruise, and AM/FM cassette player. It is a two-owner car with 110,000 original miles on it – it is a great driver and is a model that you don’t see (700 made in 1991). Car comes with manual, new car cassette, original order sticker, and clear title. It is selling for a fair price with no reserve!*****   

BODY: Car has a white exterior, gray cloth interior and carpet, and a black convertible top. Paint is original and very nice driver quality except the front end was repainted due to chips (2 years ago), the  hood was replaced with a fancier 1992 hood, and the ground effects on the bottom of the doors were repainted. The car presents well except for: the underside edge of the trunk lid is rusty and needs to be either replaced or cut out and patched (just on the underside – closes/locks fine), some slight surface rust around the wheel well opening, just on the lip, on the driver's side front and rear wheel openings, and there is a spot of rust under the spoiler on the driver's fender front and a slight blister under the mirror mount on the driver's door. Underside is clean and structurally sound. There are a couple of touched up scratches on the trunk, a couple of dings on the driver’s door, and some light spider age cracking on the rear bumper.

Black convertible top is also original, it is in good shape, however the back plastic window is out of it and would either need to be re-sewn in (details on the internet on the kit/piece to buy and how to do it), or the top replaced or left as it is. Edge welting on the top shows some age cracking, but works fine and presents fine. This car has a manual top, it has an electrical switch to open the top well (switch is not working), but it does have a manual pull to open the well instead, and it works fine to raise and lower the top to/from storage. The front windshield is also new as it got a rock chip a year ago while driving and the interior is very nice except for some wear as shown on the driver’s seat. 

MECHANICAL: Car runs and shifts great – within the last year, the car has had a complete tune up and fluid change, new injectors, new EGR valve, a new fuel tank, fuel pump and sleeve, lines and sender (GM pieces), and new exhaust (Flowmaster). I have also had the brakes gone through – redone rotors up front with new pads, turned drums in rear with new shoes and new brake lines. Tires were purchased new and now have 10,000 miles on them (Goodyear Eagle P225-60s). Car has also had a new battery installed, a new drive belt, and new style headlights. Car honestly runs strong and correct with no issues – pretty amazing performance and fuel economy from this engine – love it with the top down in summer!*****

TITLE: Car has a clear title in my name and will be signed off to new owner.       

PAYMENT: Paypal can be used to pay the $1000 deposit for the car within 3 days of the sale’s end. Balance is due within two weeks after that – either by cash at pickup or by bank wire transfer (call for bank, account, and bank contact details). If fully paid for up front, car can stay stored here for up to 30 days at no charge, after 30 days, I will refund all money, except the deposit, and relist the car. 

QUESTIONS: If questions contact Dr. Brian using the email link above and to the right in this ad that mentions “ask seller a question”.  Car is located 1.5 hours south of Chicago, Illinois (zip 60970) and about 15-20 miles west of the Illinois/Indiana state line. We are in a rural area, so easy to find and easy access. Please feel free to come and view the car/drive it or send someone to do so. Contact me before coming so I can be sure to be here! Thanks for looking!!!*****

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.
