For your consideration, first time ever offered for sale in 21 years, is my absolutely gorgeous, show quality, exhilarating to drive, bone factory stock, meticulously maintained, 1993 Chevrolet Corvette, that will put a huge smile on your face every time you drive it.  This car is one of only 1305 Corvettes finished in high gloss BRIGHT AQUA METALLIC paint in 1993. The paint is original and , as you can see in the photos, in incredible condition, as the car has been garaged and covered since it was purchased at Malcolm Conner Chevrolet in Paramus, NJ in 1993.  This car is as close as you are going to get to a time capsule.  The sport electric leather seats have been covered since new, and show as new, with absolutely no rips or tears, or wear to the side bolsters.  The rest of the interior and all dash, carpeting, and door panels, are also in near new condition.  I am the second owner of this beautiful Corvette, and aquired it from a personal friend, and experienced auto mechanic, about 8 years ago. The odometer now reads under 55,000 miles, and the car is powered by Chevrolet's 5.7L, 350ci, LT1, 300HP, power plant, one of the most durable and time tested engines to ever be produced by General Motors.  The motor has seen only Mobil 1 Synthetic oil since new, and all oil changes and routine maintenance have always been religiously performed.  Mechanically, the car is 100%, and runs strong and powerful, and the six speed manual transmission shifts perfectly. Finding a C4 corvette, with a SIX SPEED MANUAL transmission, in this type of condition, is getting near impossible.  There are absolutely no excuses for this vehicles mechanical condition.

Cosmetically, the car speaks for itself, and has won numerous local car show trophies, as well as trophies from prestigious, Corvette only, car shows sponsored and judged by the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS).  The car always scores in the high 90's point range, being judged on it's originality in the factory stock category. Most judges have a hard time believing the paint is GM original. 

As you can see in the photo, the tinted acrylic top is in like new condition with absolutely no "spider web" lines, a very common problem with these tops.  Also both flip-up headlights work quickly and in perfect unison, another common problem with the C4's.

The high mirror finish chrome wheels are gorgeous, and really complement the bright aqua metallic paint, giving the car the definite WOW factor.  However, if you prefer the original brushed aluminum stock wheels, I still have them and will include them in the sale of the car.  I have also always kept rubber mats over the factory carpeted mats, so the originals are still in great condition.  Also included, and shown in 1 photo, is a roll bar/frame stiffener that bolts into the roof, helping to maintain frame rigidity and a smoother ride when the glass top is removed. This was a $500 after market item which I am including in the sale. Of course, all trophies also go with the car to the proud new owner.

FYI - The sticker price on this car was just under $39,000, and that was over 21 years ago!!!

My reasons for selling the car now are simple, I have a daughter about to attend graduate school at George Washington University, and I could use the extra cash. Also, I just found out that I will be losing my indoor storage for this car in the next few weeks, and I would really hate to see a car in such pristine condition have to sit outside over the harsh NY winter, as it has been a garage queen it's entire life, and really deserves to be cared for by someone who will appreciate and enjoy it as much as I have for the last 8 years.

I would urge anyone to come and inspect this vehicle in person, and I will take you out for the ride of your life!!!  

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL TOM @ 917-923-9381 WITH ANY QUESTIONS, OR TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO INSPECT THIS BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE IN PERSON.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

Nissan Leaf makes it 19 in a row for record sales; Chevy Volt drops 21 percent

Wed, Oct 1 2014

The Nissan Leaf continues its streak of "best month ever" sales with 2,881 EVs sold in September. Compared to the 1,953 sold in September 2013, that represents an increase of 47.5 percent and, as Nissan itself must be tired of saying by now, it marks yet another best month ever, same as last month and now the 19th in a row. Okay, sure, we know, Nissan will tout this run for as long as it can, but we're certainly expecting it each month, so if it ever doesn't happen, it'll be interesting to see how Nissan talks about it. Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. In any case, Nissan's director of EV marketing, Toby Perry, sent AutoblogGreen a statement that said, "Nissan Leaf owners have turned into some of our best marketers, and they jump at any opportunity to share their enthusiasm with friends and family. Take National Drive Electric Week – a grassroots celebration of all things EV and the perfect platform for LEAF owners to showcase the benefits of going electric. After celebrating with EV owners in more than 130 cities across the country, we saw a significant increase in Leaf showroom visits with midweek traffic just as heavy as what we see on the weekends." Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. Over on the Chevy Volt front, things aren't quite as rosy. After coming off a good August (the best sales month of 2014 by almost 500 units), Volt sales were down to 1,394, a decrease of 21.1 percent compared to September 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 13.2 percent year-over-year. It's kind of a stretch, but perhaps people are already waiting for the next-gen Volt, which will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January, to go on sale? Speaking of things we say every month, our in-depth round-up of US green car sales is in process and will be appearing soon. Until then, please discuss how these two long-standing plug-in champs are doing on the sales floor. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales hybrid sales

Thu, Jan 21 2016

From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.
