1988 Chevrolet Corvette Base Hatchback 2-door 5.7l Auto on 2040-cars
Littlestown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1988 Corvette. I am selling this and my Jeep because I don't need and can't keep up with 3 vehicles.
White exterior, red/black interior, 95,xxx miles. L98 350 engine, 4 speed auto, and 2.54 rear. I get around 17-18 mpg around town, 24+ highway. Being as this is a 26 year old vehicle, it is by no means a show car. I would rate it a 10 footer daily driver. I have waxed it a few times. That said, it has its imperfections. There are a few paint chips, a thin spot, and a cracked mirror. I tried to capture it in the photos. There is some primer peeking through on top of the rear bumper. Paint here is iffy due to years of someone dripping fuel on it while pulling the nozzle out. It has its share of squeaks and rattles. If you have owned a C4 before, you know all about them. Sirius radio NOT included. Wheels are the baseline 16 inch wheels only offered in 1988. 1987 and 1989 models featured a different rim. This is the only set I've ever seen that were chromed. Most are brushed aluminum. I purchased it in July 2012 with 82,xxx miles. I have regularly changed the oil with Mobil 1 Full Synthetic High Mileage. Really the only things I have done are plugs/wires/cap/rotor, oil changes, air filter, fuel filter, and belt. I always use Premium 92/93 octane gas. I have made a few long distance trips in it with no issues. Longest was an over-400-mile trip from southern PA to Alexandria Bay in upstate NY. Again, no issues(and I did it on a single tank of gas, but was buried on empty when I arrived). There are a few problems. The battery went flat over the winter because I didn't drive it for over 4 months, and now the radio wont change from FM1. Cant play the cd player, aux, or AM. Cant eject the CD in there either or set the time. It is an aftermarket radio, I believe from 1994 time frame. The trim piece in the rear cargo area that covers the privacy cover is cracked in several places. I tried to repair it best I could, its fixed but isnt going to win any awards. Like I said, little odds and ends here and there, as its 26 years old. Occasionally when you let the tank get close to empty there is a mild fuel starvation issue at W.O.T. most likely due to there being little fuel in the bottom of the tank and the gass sloshing around. I very rarely ever let the tank get that empty, I always try to keep all my vehicles over 1/2 tank(I'm a little OCD like that). Interior pieces here and there have some cracks around screws, if you are familiar with 1980's GM plastics, it should come as no surprise.The 12v outlet worked some of the time, so I installed a secondary one in the center console(which I feel is a better location anyway). The climate control display sometimes flickers, which is very common for these. Works fine though. Includes the original owners pamphlet and Corvette roof tool. I am located 10 minutes outside Gettysburg, PA. Pick up only. I can meet within a reasonable distance, within a half hour to 45 minutes from my house. No trades. Will not ship. Cash up front, no payments, no loans, I'm not a bank. $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit due via Paypal immediately following purchase. For sale locally, I reserve the right to pull this down if it sells locally. |

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

LG Chem officially breaks ground for China EV battery plant Seoul, Korea - Oct 30, 2014 – LG Chem, Korea's leading manufacturer of advanced batteries, held a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of electric-car battery plant in Nanjing, China, to meet growing demand in the world's biggest car market.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
