Offered is a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertible, 2.4L I4 MPI.  This Chevrolet has 120,410 miles and is being sold, as is with NO RESERVE so we do not have to re-list.  This Chevrolet is being auctioned by the Woodridge Illinois Police Department.  The history of this vehicle is unknown as it was seized in a traffic-stop arrest that occurred on November 14th, 2013.  Following the arrest this Chevrolet was stored in a warehouse.  It was awarded to the Woodridge Police by court order on March 3rd, 2013 and we hold clear title.

We will attempt to describe this vehicle to the best of our ability and you may inspect the vehicle, in person, by appointment.

The body has scratches, scuff marks and dents.  There is rust near the rear wheel-wells and where the rear bumper meets the trunk.  The weather stripping at the top of the windshield is cracked.  The power convertible top works as expected but there is a small rip in the convertible top located near the rear driver’s side window.  See photos. 

The interior is dirty and shows ware.  There are cracks in the plastic of both door panels and the dashboard.  See photos.    

During a brief test drive, the Chevrolet accelerated and handled as expected for a vehicle of this age and condition.  There was noise from the rear during braking and the Chevrolet may need brake work.  There was some muffler noise during acceleration.  The air conditioner blows cold.  The bottom of the engine is wet with fluid (see photos). It is suggested that the buyer have this Chevrolet inspected/serviced by a qualified mechanic before use.  See photos.   

The NADA listed value for this 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS convertible 2D is $875 for "Rough Trade-In", $1,375 for "Average Trade-In" and $1,775 for "Clean Trade-In".  We would place this vehicle in the “Rough” category but it is always recommended that you inspect the vehicle and make your own assessments before bidding.

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.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.
