Up for sale is my beautiful 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car with Only 23xxx miles! 

FLORIDA TITLE IN HAND. READY TO BE SOLD. CALL NOW 850-319-7658

Reason for being sold:
Was given as a gift by my grandfather to my two brothers and I. The car has to be sold and split 3 ways.

How many owners:
This Corvette has basically 1 owner in it's lifetime. My grandfather purchased it brand new in 1986. It comes with the original transaction receipt which is framed and you will get with the car. He paid $35,824.00 out the door. He gifted the car to me 2 months ago, and now it is in my name.

Upgrades:
All of these listed below were original factory upgrades including price.
1. Six-Way Power Seat: $240.00
2. ABB8 Graphite Leather Adjustable Sport Bucket Seats: 1025.00
3. Power Door Lock System: $190.00
4. Radiator Cooling Boost Fan: $75.00
5. Engine Oil Cooler: $110.00
6. Electronic Speed Control W/Resume SPD: $185.00
7. Delco-GM/Bose Music System: $905.00
8. Heavy Duty Radiator: $40.00

These were all the factory upgrades he did.

He also added:
Upgraded Chevrolet Corvette Matte Black Mag Wheels that were made in England. He couldn't have these shipped into California due to regulations so they were shipped to Arizona and put on there. They were quite expensive back when he originally purchased them in 1986. He told me the original purchase price on the rims was $2600.00 

Upgraded rear taillights. These are like no other that you will see on a pace car. They were the "European Style."

What else comes with the car:

Now this is the amazing thing about the car. I have two full binders filled with information on the car. Every original transaction receipt, every magazine about the car, 5 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car hats, a can of the original 1986 yellow car paint, a second set of pace car details, a second set of Corvette decals for the window, and also the framed receipt and a plaque. Everything you could possibly want comes with the car.

Any flaws?
The only issues the car has is that the A/C does not blow cold, and also the radio turns on but you cannot hear anything. I just had this vehicle serviced at the Carl Black Chevy Dealership here in Orlando and their Corvette guy told me this was one of the strongest running Vette's he has ever seen.

If you have any questions or would like to set up a time to check out the car feel free to let me know!

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
