Livonia, Michigan, United States
1997 Chevy C5 Corvette Targa with glass top W/Z51 Performance Package. 6 speed Manual. White with Slate Grey and Black interior. Pics are of the ACTUAL Car and were taken at the MotorCity Gumball and Tail of the Dragon this summer... All decals have been removed except for the Gumball door logos which can be in a matter of minutes. No Joyrides as the roads are bad and salt covered. Car has 94k miles on it and runs/Drives perfect. Everything works (even air). Never seen a winter and is always stored in the garage. Clean Carfax in hand and available for review. I am the third owner even though Ebays title check says 4. and have had the car a year and put ~4000 miles on it over the summer. I bought this car specifically for the MCGB and am looking for something a little different this year. The paint is all original and in above average condition for the year of the car. People are surprised when I tell them it's a 1997.
Upgrades are:
1) Full C6 ZO6 suspension, Shocks, springs, swaybars, metal end links, and bushings. Installed in May of '13 ($1850)
2) Full Corsa Xtreme Cat back exhaust with x pipe. Full Stainless. ($1300) Installed in May of '13. Sounds fantastic.
3) K&N drop in filter and SLP lid.
4) Tsw Nurburgring Wheels (18" x 9" front and 19" x 10.5" rear) with Hankook K12 Evo Tires (265/40 front and 305/30 rear). ($2350). Less than 3000 miles on the tires. Installed in May of '13

6) Wiper Motor (common failure on C5s) June of '13

Items that I would address if I were keeping the car:
1) Drivers seat upper bolster needs recovering.
2) Oil Pressure sensor needs to be replaced. ($40 part)
Have any questions? Let me know! Thanks!

GM's Oshawa plant may close after Camaro production moves
Sat, Feb 7 2015Most of the time, when vehicle production is moved from one assembly plant to another, it spells bad news for the former. While General Motors won't go so far as to say its Oshawa, Ontario factory, which is losing the Chevrolet Camaro to the Lansing Grand River plant, is in trouble, analysts seem to think the factory's days are numbered. Forecasts for the facility are far from positive. The loss of the Camaro this year, combined with GM's targeted shutdown of a single-shift assembly line responsible for the fleet-only Chevy Impala Limited and the Equinox crossover is a bad enough omen. But with AutoForecast Solutions CEO Joe McCabe telling The Detroit News that the plant's other two products, the Cadillac XTS and Buick Regal, aren't likely to stick around beyond 2017, things look decidedly grim at Oshawa. "There is a fairly strong chance that the plant could close," Jeff Schuster, senior VP of forecasting for LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. That doesn't mean that Unifor, Canada's auto union, and the Canadian government are going to let the factory die without a fight. And with the latter chipping in $10 billion as part of GM's 2009 bailout, you might think it has a degree of leverage in the situation. A meeting between the government and the Detroit Three at the 2015 North American International Auto Show revealed that Oshawa is already a topic of conversation. "We made it very clear that we would like to see an indication on the future of Oshawa sooner, in particular because the timing is very challenging for our supply chain to be able to adjust to potentially future orders or changes, but also to know that there are going to be future opportunities at Oshawa," Ontario's Minister of Economic, Development, Employment and Infrastructure Brad Duguid told The Detroit News. "Bottom line: It's time they made a longer-term commitment here," Unifor President Jerry Dias said, echoing Duguid's statements. It's unclear if this sort of strong talk will be enough to save 3,300-plus employees, although based on the analysts' forecasts, we doubt it.
GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020
Wed, Jan 6 2021BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
