This is a North County California car, I am the second owner and have had it since 2005, 1st owner was a lady from Rancho Penasquitos, Ca. that I used to work with, I live in Oceanside Ca. All non smokers.

This style Corvette, (The C4) origianlly came out in 1984 and they used the same body style through 1996
When it first came out, it was the most technically advance vehicle you could buy.

If you like muscle cars, this car will definetly get your blood flowing. This baby HAULS!!!
Very low to the ground, it handles like a Go Kart, the steering is very tight, and precise, a slight turn here and a slight turn there and it's there, there's no swaing back and forth.

Exterior and Interior of car has been freshly maticulously restored, I decided to restore it ONLY because it was a 4 speed. It runs great, nice and smooth running. I have not messed with the engine. It has always passed smog without a hitch.

Gas milage is about 19MPG

I've owned the car since 2005 and it's been ALLOT of fun, runs GREAT, very dependable.
The restoration was finished 2 years ago. It's a VERY Clean car, has NEVER been in any kind of wreck, perfectly straight and get ALLOT of looks.

I am selling it, because, I just bought a 69 Firebird project car, which I am going to restore and clone it into a 69 Trans Am, I need the money from the Vette to finish the Trans Am

This is a $3000 paint job, Color is a beautiful Chevy Marina Blue
Was painted with 3 base coats of PPG Marina Blue (Metallic), then immediately shot with 3 coats of PPG Concept 2000 Clear, after 48 hours of drying the entire car was color sanded and buffed out to give you that deep show car gloss. It is absolutely beautiful.

Minor problems with car: Cruise Control doesn't work, wouldn't cost much to get it working again, for me, with a 4 speed? Never would use it.
Trany has a minor leak that drips 1 or 2 drops onto the exhaust system, to repair the leak the tranny would have to be removed. Not that big an issue. No puddles or anything like that.
Wipers work fine, but they don't squirt water.

Has a new power antenna, but stoopped working a few months back.
Outside of that, it runs GREAT! Always passes smog without a problem.

I realize it's a HIGH milage car, but it's ALL highway miles, if you've been to California you'll know, to get anywere you have to be on a highway. You can easily put 150 miles per day on a daily driver, this was.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany

Wed, Nov 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season

Wed, Jul 30 2014

Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
