I purchased this car 11 years ago off eBay through a Corvette dealership in Arizona with 124,908 miles and it’s been garage kept since I’ve owned it. I brought it to Ohio, where it’s never seen a day of snow or rain.  I planned on keeping this car, but I recently moved to Florida and starting to offload some of the cars I've collected over the years.  So it’s time to let this SS go to someone who can enjoy the fun it brings.  Ok, here's what I know about the car.  When I bought this car I could tell that it must have received some damage in the right front fender.  The front doghouse has been re-spot welded, and the car appears to be repainted.  There is no frame damage that I can tell of, drives straight and the alignment is spot on.  The heritage graphics are under the clear coat, which was not done through the factory or SLP, which makes it nice as they won’t peal off or fade.  The door jams received some overspray which overtime caused the paint to flake off, but the good is the original white paint under is in great shape, and I’ve color sanded those flakes to blend them in.  There is a small run in the clear coat right under the passenger mirror which I haven’t had time to fix, plus you have to be looking for it to find it.  Pretty simple job to do by scrapping off the excess clear and buffing it out. I replaced the inner fender wells with OE replacements from GM as it’s almost impossible to removed overspray from there.  Outside of that, there is no damage on the exterior or interior.  The LT1 runs really strong and its a monster.  With any car I own, I always start with upgrading the suspension and moving into the driveline.  The driveline is pretty stout, but the suspension on the f-body can always be improved upon.  With the upgrades I've done it handles like it's on rails and sticks to the ground.  The t-tops don’t leak in anyway, granted I’ve never driven the car in rain, but it’s never showed any signs of leaking from washing.  The spare tire appears to have never been used.  The AC blows nice and cold.  There is a crease in the passenger side window tint towards the upper right corner, it was this way when I bought the car.  All fluids have been changed to synthetic.  Everything works as it should; windows, locks, mirrors, lights, gauges, etc..  The oil's always changed at 3000 miles or 6 months, but to be honest it's every 6 months as I barely put a 1000 miles on in a year.  If any part needs replaced, its always top end OE parts.  I will not put cheep anything, in any of my cars.

Here’s a list of the upgrades I’ve done so far.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]

Fri, Jul 3 2015

Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
