This is a collectors dream. It's basically a brand new 1989 C4 Corvette. I purchased it about 2 years ago from a
collector with just under 4,000 miles. It had been started and run regularly to keep the seals wet but I don't
believe its ever seen rain or snow. The passenger seat doesn't look like its ever been used. Even though the
milage was under 4,000 I had the tires and battery replaced because of their age at a cost of $900.00. (A photo of
the receipt is included). I also had the chevy dealer go through it, give it a thorough check up and change all the
fluids and hoses due to potential dry rot at a cost of just over $1000.00. I had the original radio, which was a
Delco-Bose cassette unit swapped out with an OEM AM/FM CD radio. The original radio is available if wanted. Since
the Bose speakers were not working properly , I had all the speakers sent to Bose to be refurbished. This service
was $1,200 and the receipt for this is also pictured in the listing. I have put just over $3000 in the car in the
past two years to ensure its in perfect working order and reliable. A photo of the original window sticker is in
the listing and included in the sale. I have 3 sets of keys, all the manuals and the glass top wrench with the car.
The car is charcoal metallic on the outside and light gray leather inside. The car is immaculate inside and out.
Its also immaculate underneath since its never been driving in inclement weather. It is optioned with the
following: * Tilt/telescoping steering wheel * Leather wrapped sport steering wheel * Electronic LCD instrument
panel * Dual electric remote heated outside mirrors * Power operated retractable halogen headlamps * Halogen fog
lamps * Remote rear hatch release * Bosch ABS II anti-lock braking system * Electronic speed control * Side window
defoggers * Rear window defogger * Power rack and pinion steering * Intermittent wipers * 5.7 Liter TPI V8 *
Automatic 4 speed transmission with OD * Engine oil cooler * Heavy Duty Radiator * Air Conditioning * Six way power
drivers seat * Glass roof panel/ Targa top * Power antenna * Aluminum wheels * Power door locks and windows * Spare
tire (a rare option for the C4) This car originally had a Greenwood ground effects package installed. I removed the
side skirts and front spoiler but left the rear wing. The front spoiler was damaged so I removed it and it's not
included with the sale. The side skirts are all included if you want them. There are a few holes drilled in the
lower area of the rear bumper that were required to install this package. Other that that, the car is immaculate
and runs beautifully. If I was going to be very critical of the cosmetics, there are a few small scuffs on the
front bumper that you can see in the close up shot in images. They are not deep and would be easy to fix. This is a
close to a new C4 as you are ever going to find. If you want to see additional photos or need any other info about
the car, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024
Fri, May 31 2024As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging
GM cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.
