The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Paint is good but I touched up several chips. 2 small dome lights behind the seats are missing. The tires only have 1k on them but at certain speeds sometimes feel like they could use re-balancing. The seat and steer wheel are showing wear but have covers on them that look nice. The cd play works great but the antenna needs new coax and there is no radio reception. The carpet has all been replaced but the rear is a little faded where sun shines through the hatchback. Otherwise car is in great condition for age and mileage"

Bought this car with a 57 chevy as a package deal and never planned on keeping it. I have replaced the battery and alternator, installed a new window switch and got the stereo tuned in, now I want to sell it, I will also sell and assist in shipping internationally as long as buyer pays all fees and shipping costs. This car has a 4 speed auto trans with Tuned Port Injection 350 engine. The TPI I am told is the one to get of the older corvettes, it does NOT have the less desirable cross fire injection. I noticed in one of the pictures the engine has 71 psi oil pressure at idle. The drivetrain is original and has not been modified.  Suspension feels really tight and car drives like it is on rails. Tires are almost new with a nice performance tread design.  It runs and shifts and drives great. A/C works great, has been converted to the newer 134A Refridgerant. The car was repainted about 7 years ago and the true flame paint job on front looks great. Several chips in the black have been touched up.  Glass targa top seals good and stores in the rear when out. The high dollar tool to remove the top is in the console. The dash has been fitted with a carbon fiber kit. The digital dash works good but as you can see in the pic there are 2 segments not working in the tach readout. I was told the last owner put about $2500 in the stereo. It has an alpine deck with 3 disc cd magazine that works great and remote is included, works great. Antenna needs coax so radio don't get reception. The amp and equalizers are pictured with 2 6X9 and 2 subwoofer speakers. It really kicks when you want it too. This is going to be a great buy for the money. I don't expect it to go high because of the miles but it will be a great deal for whoever buys it. I will try to answer questions (email) to the best of my knowledge. I have only owned it for a short time but I know the previous owner well and may have to consult with him for your answers. It has a low reserve because I have too many toys so good luck bidding. Thanks!!

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes

Wed, Feb 19 2014

There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.
