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.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?
Fri, Jul 21 2017General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
