Just in time for Dads and Grads is this beautiful 1987 Chevrolet Corvette.  This is an absolute cream puff and has 28,2XX original miles. It is a Tuned Port Injection 350 cubic inch V8 engine with an automatic transmission with overdrive. The car is in excellent condition and has been garage kept since new. It is gunmetal gray/silver with dark grey leather interior. 

I am the third owner and have all of the records from the second owner dating back to 2003.  The second and third owners of this car were mechanics who pampered the car and never abused it.  It has a new MAF sensor, MAF relay, intake manifold gaskets, and oil pressure sending unit. No trouble codes and runs perfect. The interior is clean (door panels,dash pad,carpet are in great condition). It has a removable painted top and a glass top included for those nice summer days ahead. All features work as they were originall designed and manufactured.  Teh car passed VA state inspection in 2011 prior to being registered as an antique in 2012. 

Factory installed features include cruise control, power windows, power locks, power antenna, power seats, tilt wheel, power brakes, power antenna, and power steering. Factory wheels in excellent condition. Has 4 new Yokohama tires on the car, new battery, and new exhaust with mufflers. A/C recharged with R134a and blows cold. Truly a nice car and a turn key. Have clear and free Virginia state title in hand. 

This car needs nothing, but there are a few cosmetic issues that should be pointed out.  The left front removable fender (that covers the battery) has a scratch in it as shown in the photos.  It is minor and very difficult to see.  On the interior, the carpet on the door panels is coming unglued on the driver door from age and the headliner on the painted hard top is sagging.  The left display on teh instrument cluster is slighter dimmer than the right, and the radio tends to "drift" from station to station when the weather is cold.  These are all very minor issues, but I want to nit-pick the car so there will be NO disappointments. 

This vehicle is being sold as-is and where is. Cash only sale on pick up. The winning bidder will be responsible for shipping and pick-up.  For interested parties that are not in the DC Metro area, fly into Dulles or Washington National Airport.  I will pick you up and you can drive the car home. 

Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  Placing a bid means you intend to follow through.  Please do not waste my time or yours.  

Additional photos can be provided on request.  Please note this vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Thank you for looking and good luck!

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
