This is a local car in great original condition. I will tell you about the negatives first. The car does have surface rust on the original paint but if it was new paint or rust-free we would be asking a lot more. The caprice does not smell like smoke but the Interior has a a cigarette burn hole on the passenger side and one in the back seat. Other than that this car is really nice. Now the positives. The Caprice fires right up first time with no hesitation. (I tested this out several mornings before we took this car in on trade) Steering, brakes and suspension feel good on the highway and in town. There is no pulsation, no squeaks, no rattles or clunks on any of the test drives. Depressing the pedal gets you moving! There is no motor lag or hesitation. This car sends out a smooth sound and accelerates perfectly. The exhaust has a slight growl and is in great shape (pic) The tires are new, no dry rot. Iowa Title shows two owners but no way of telling for sure because of the age of the car. Miles on odometer are 21,642 and are told to be original. We have no way of proving this but there are plenty of signs that this is the actual mileage. We have the reserve set low on this car so happy bidding! If you have any questions or you desire to see the car in person please don't hesitate to ask. If you need more pictures of a certain area let me know.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
