1999 CHEVROLET EURO VETTE CONVERTIBLE. These Corvettes were produced in Bowling Green right along side all the
other Vette's, but with options for European export. We've all seen the old classics, and who wouldn't like to own
one of them? I knew a guy that had a 69 L 88 back in the mid seventies, he flaired the fender wells, put some big
tires on it and raced that ol' Vette all over town. Then he got married and settled down, I remember the day I
stopped by his house and setting in the driveway in the place of that Vette, there sat a brand new Ford LTD. I'll
bet he wants to slap himself every time he thinks about that L 88. But you know, we all did the same thing, I owned
a 64 1/2 GTO and a 67 Camaro SS, sure wish I'd held on to at least one of them, oh well, it's all water under the
bridge now. I think that's what you have here, the opportunity to purchase an extremely rare car. GM only made a
few, best calculation is less than 100 of the Euro Vette Convertible's were produced in 1999. Out of the whole C5
production run from 1997 to 2004 not more than 5000 Corvette's were exported to Europe. This listing is a very real
chance to own a genuine low production Chevrolet Corvette. Most of the options are subtle, the average person
wouldn't even notice. An extra light here or there, the button for the trunk release was relocated from the dash to
the console, on the dash where the trunk button was located, now there is a switch to control the back up fog
lamps. The oil pressure gage is in kPa and the water temp ins in Celsius, but no one is going to mistake that 300
mph speedo. To many Euro options to list here, I'll put a photo of the RPO codes in this listing, you can look them
up yourself if your so inclined. This car was originally titled in Gombrook, Manchester, England. the original
owners brought the car to the US in 2003. I purchased the car in January of 2006. I have always treated this car
gently and kept it in the garage, the motor and drive train do not have any issues. I service the car regularly and
only use Mobil 1 oil, has new tires, A-C blows cold air, heads up display, the interior and exterior look great. In
1999 GM didn't produce very many Corvette's for European export, a couple of hundred total, and of these no more
than 100 were convertibles. That being said, it doesn't take a genious to figure how rare of an opportunity you
have to purchase what is sure to be a classic. Cars like the 1969 L88 Corvette, low production numbers are what
made those cars what they are today. That's what's being offered right here, it's just a 1999 Vette, but with the
European export options, this is a genuine GM product with less than 100 examples in the world. I heard about a 63
Euro Vette that sold for 350 grand a couple a years back, that car wasn't really anything special, the kicker was
that it was a low production European export. Put 30 more years on this car, no telling what it'll be, because you
know, those crazy driving Europeans will wreck all there Vette's by then, this might be the only one left, who
knows.

Car and Driver reveals spy shots of mid-engine 2017 Corvette

Thu, Jan 8 2015

Some news in the car world is perennial, and some is perennially wrong. Typically news about some upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette has fallen into the latter category, with rumors never yet generating a road car. This time could very well be different. Car and Driver has some exclusive photographs of what would appear to be a Corvette test mule with a mid-mounted engine. The car in question might look like a Holden SSV ute that's undergone some indelicate modification, but C/D editor Don Sherman assures that the bones of a C8 'Vette live within that crude bodywork. Sherman points to the closeness of the cabin to the front axle as clue number one of this car's mid-engine attitude, as well as the powertrain-sized space between the back of the seats and the rear axle. The roof and glasshouse are all clearly plucked from the current C7, and the gas tank filler positioned on the B-pillar is another huge clue. The buff book estimates that the mule points to a timeline for sale, even. Testing on this level could mean a mid-engined C8 ready for sale in as few as 20 months, or for the 2017 model year. Click over to Car and Driver to have a close look at this important set of spy photographs, as well as a rendering of what a finished C8 might ultimately look like

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
