Up for sale today with much sadness is my 1987 corvette. I have driven and owned my fair share of cars and for the money I don't think that you can find a car that is even close to as fun to drive as the C4 corvette but if you are looking at this listing chances are you already know this. I spent 2 years trying to find a car that had most of its major components working as well as a car that was high optioned for the time this car has the rare Delco Bose stereo, digital climate control electric seats and windows mirrors and the clear Targa roof and most importantly and Atuo transmission but why an auto in a sports car, these cars from 1984 to 1989 had a 4 + 3 trans that always had some sort of problem while the Autos were problem free. This car is in nice shape for a 25+ year old car but its shows its age in places. The car will also need a good motor tune up and it does have a lifter tic but it still runs and drives fine. If you would like to view the car please send me an email with you name and phone number. Please read the below overview. 

Exterior: The paint is in ok shape with some problems the front bumper has been painted but is paint is dull but it still looks good unless you are on top of it. The rear quarter and the rear bumper has nicks and dings and could use paint otherwise the paint is in good shape for a 25 + year old car.

Interior: When I purchased the car it had seats that were in poor shape and carpet that had seen too much sun so I had to replace them. I found seats that were recovered re padded and had rebuilt motors. The carpet was taken from the same donor car and while it is not new it is in better shape then the old carpet. The interior is taken care of and I will supply an extra set of door panels as well I did not do them because the door panels are still in good shape but I wanted a set anyway. 

Driveline: The motor starts every time with no issue with only 82000 miles. The car when I got it had a old set of headers that had to go along with holes in the front and year y pipes with I have replaced the mufflers were done by last owner. The auto trans shifts like new with no problems even in the cold. BUT the car will need a good tune up and THE CAR HAS A LIFTER TIC in the rear passenger side cylinder. Otherwise Id daily drive if I could.

Electronics: As most of you know the dash boards in these cars almost never work until they are rebuilt which this one has been and works like a charm has not let me down yet. The radio works most of the time but does go in and out( id have it redone). The digi climate control works well and the AC and heat work well. Lights go up and down with no problems and the turn signals work ( lever needs to be tightened).

Problems: While this car is in good shape it still needs some paint work. Id suggest plugs and wires and tighten up the header bolts and have the lifter tic looked into I was told by my local mechanic that it could be as simple as a lose bolt or a set of lifters. These are the Items I know need attention but the car is so close to being done it won't take much to bring it there. 

So why is he selling the car that he spent 9000 on and spent 2 years looking for, well I just don't use it enough and I don't have the time to finish it. I hope it will find a new home with someone who can enjoy it and drive it like it should be driven.

Terms of this sale:

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification

Sun, Mar 1 2020

Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.
