MY DESCRIPTION: 

Never hit nor driven in snow or ice, this strictly non-smoking Corvette has led a garaged, pampered, and well-loved "3-season" life. I am offering it with a reserve and Buy It Now set according to Kelley Blue Book value, at less than what I truly believe this car is worth.

This is one of the finest examples of a C5 (5th generation) Corvette produced, being from the final year of C5 production, including the 24 Hours of LeMans Commemorative Edition package (2,170 coupes produced with this option), and having every available option, including the very desirable 6-speed Manual Transmission and Magnetic Ride Control. Many people consider this generation of Corvette's sensuous and flowing body style to be among the most beautiful Corvettes of all time. It certainly is the last year for hidden headlights, probably forever.

This great, very low mileage car has been a member of our family since January of 2005, when I became its second owner 8 months after it was originally purchased. The original owner in PA bought it for his wife, who apparently didn't want the car, so he traded it in at a large powersports and automotive dealer for some ATV's and a new Harley! Well, his loss was my gain, because it kept its practically flawless history of reliable service, and it's easily been to this day the best Corvette I've ever owned. By all means check the Carfax on this Corvette, which has been my 4th Vette since 1987.

Selling this car is a decision I've gone back and forth with for the past year. It's a great sports car, beautiful to look at, and a wonderful vacation companion (we've taken it on a few long trips) with its smooth highway ride (for a sports car, thanks to Magnetic Ride Control, which GM developed with Delco and is now also used by Audi and Ferrari), large cargo area, and consistent delivery of 29 to 30 MPG on the highway (that is NOT a typo, these cars get phenomenal mileage cruising in 6th gear at 70-80+ MPH!) But the sad fact is, I just don't drive it much-- lately under 1,000 miles a year, and in the meantime it takes up garage space and adds about a thousand bucks to my insurance every year. So I think it's time to hand the keys to someone else who will love and enjoy the car more often than I'm able to. I truly believe you will not find a nicer, more fun to drive, more comfortable, better looking or more reliable sports car of any kind at this price.

As listed below, I spent a few thousand dollars over the years to make a few tasteful and functional modifications to this car, always with the thought that it should appear like it came (or should have come) from the factory that way. It has the mellow (Touring) version of the Corsa Tigershark exhaust system with its gorgeous set of chrome tips in back, originally supplied for a well-known Chevrolet-made C5 concept car called the Tigershark. This exhaust combined with an SLP Blackwing cold air intake gives the car a little boost in horsepower (probably 10-20 extra, though this car was never dyno'd). It cruises quietly, but has a nice growl when you're dipping heavily into the throttle. Part of that quiet cruising is thanks to some extra, custom-fit insulation in the hatch area, which on the C5 can otherwise be a source of significant road noise and resonance. A speed shift kit gets rid of the very rubbery feeling stock shifter and shortens throws nicely. A few interior pieces dress up the cockpit, including aluminum gauge bezels that bring the dash appearance closer to what you find in the C6. It also has something of a magic box installed that offers a mini-stereo plug inside the console storage compartment, which lets you play any portable device (iPod, Android, etc.) through the factory sound system, while retaining full use of the in-dash CD and 12-disc remote CD changer. Except for the exhaust, I have the original parts that come with the car if the buyer wishes to go back to stock. I absolutely love the new Michelin Pilot run-flat tires, which have phenomenal grip in both dry and wet; in fact I think the wet weather traction is now as good as the dry traction on the original Goodyear run-flat tires.

Please check my feedback; I'm a very honest seller and I want to find a very happy buyer! Everything on this Corvette works "as new" to best of my knowledge. The deep blue paint looks fantastic, with just a few normal small road chips that have touch-up paint on them. The edition-exclusive shale interior is also close to showroom condition, with some very minor wear on the driver side seat cushion, which is normal and unavoidable for these cars; if I didn't point it out you probably wouldn't notice. There is a nearly invisible crack in the driver side turn signal lens, and I have the new Chevrolet part, which comes with the car, but haven't had time to get it installed. There is also a slight buzz noticed recently in the console area under certain conditions of acceleration, which I haven't had time to track down (I suspect the ash tray lid or its spring). I certainly welcome all questions here, in-person requests to see the car. 

Good luck bidders, and be sure to check out the full picture gallery and HD video link at:

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
