If you google 1993 Corvette Specifications, you will see that the torch red exterior with the torch red interior, was the poster child for 1993, however not very many were produced. Only 14% of the corvettes in 93 were manufactured with a torch red exterior and far, far less than that percentage, were made with a torch red interior, to go with it. This car also contains the the deluxe option package of torch red leather, adjustable power seats (almost $2k) and combining of all those factors, I have never seen another one like this. The car also has a one piece removeable roof which is also factory painted, torch red. The GM factory spec sheet says that they were only made in blue or bronze tint, so I'm not sure if this was a special order or not but at the least, is very rare and unusual. Unfortuneately GM does not keep those records. The car contains GM's premium, 'corvette preferred equiptment group one', their top of the line option package (see original window sticker) which added alomost $5k to to the base package and includes; a electronic climate control system, a Bose music system, including am/fm, cd and cassete, leather adjustable power sport bucket seats, selective ride control, larger tires and has beautiful gold kick plates on each door with the '40th anniversary' logo, as well as the 40th anniversary logo embroidered on each seat headrest.The car's sticker price was $39,974 and add to that dealer added options of clearcoat coating applied to the paint and dealer applied window tinting, with lifetime warranty and the car's total cost was $41,169. Add all these together and I don't think you can find another corvette like this one, a very classy combination. I've been told by at least three turnpike toll takers that its the nicest vette they've ever seen, regardess of model or year. Engine, transmission and drivetrain perform smoothly and flawlessly and the car has all the power and torque you could want. Not to be confused with the special 40th anniversary with ZR1 high performace package in burgandy. This model is a much better looking, classier and a more reliable car. My daughter stepped on the remote a few few years back, so although I have it, it doesn't work. I've seen them offered on ebay for $100-150 but I never bothered to pursue one. Tires are all very good, new parts include a new battery, new rear brakes, a new drivers seat pan with motors to make operation smoother. I've just had the AC upgraded to todays freon and AC system spec's, it's been certified it to blow cold to 43 degrees. Selling the car because I have sold the house and garage, that it's been stored in. The car comes complete with all the documentation that was provided by the dealer with the car, at the time of purchase, so the new owner will be assured it is 100% original and also provides historical traceability, very rare to have with any car. The documentation are all in very good condition and includes the following; the original window sticker, the original sales receipt, the original sales receipt for the dealer added options of Clear Coat and Window Tinting with the lifetime warranty card, the leather bound operators manual, the original coverage agreement papers for the GM protection plan, the dealers pre-delivery inspection procedure checklist, the original warranty paperwork, a corvette roadside assistance booklet, the chevrolet warranty and owner assistance booklet, a chevrolet owner satisfaction booklet, a corvette 40 year history booklet, the original corvette pen light, notepad and a 40th anniversary sweatshirt which has never beeen worn. See pictures for all of these items described. |

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Weekly Recap: Geneva's splendor reflects growing demand for ultra-luxury cars
Sat, Mar 7 2015Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now.
