Oliver Springs, Tennessee, United States

A Beautiful Real Non-Restored Ultra Low Miles Convertible Right Color - Both Exterior and Interior Right Year - Last Year for Chevrolet Full Size Convertible Right Condition - Authentic - Not Restored Right Engine - 400 Cubic Inch V-8 We are the second titled owner of this beautiful convertible. Mr. Ralph Englestad first acquired this vehicle as new with a mso (manufacturer's statement of origin). He was the owner of the Imperial Palace Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. He was also an automobile dealer and had an extensive automobile collection. In the early 1990's the vehicle was sold to the first titled owners. They owned the car for 20 years. We purchased the car in 2012 with total original documented miles of 9,670. The miles are stated on our clear Tennessee title. We have driven the car over 3,000 miles with no issues and much enjoyment. When we purchased the vehicle, we had a Chevrolet dealership change all fluids, belts, hoses, etc. and requested GM products be used. We also had a new top and new tires installed due to age. This convertible is ready to drive any place and any distance you choose. This isn't a car that has been dressed up and shined up to appear to be something it really isn't. It can be enjoyed for years and decades to come. The driver's side exterior remote mirror will not move. The clock works but is unplugged because it makes an annoying clicking sound every one or two minutes. The 8 track tape player works and certainly provides a nostalgic feature to the car (yes you can still purchase tapes). This convertible is 39 years old and isn't perfect with some minor discoloration between floor mats and carpet, but they are original to the vehicle. The top could use some adjustment but works fine as is. If you have interest please call me and I will provide more details concerning the history of the car. We have much documentation from the time the vehicle was first sold and titled. We also have many more pictures that we can send you. The number is 865-207-4493. Please call between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. eastern time. Please no text messages. The vehicle is priced to sell with no reserve. Please have finances in order and be prepared to complete payment within 7 days of purchase. It is advertised locally and is subject to sell prior to the 7 day auction ending. We will work with the buyer anyway we can. Thank you. |

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.
Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: 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.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
