 Hi all! Up for bidding 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector Edition. This is a great opportunity for all you out there to get a rare Corvette and finish it to your liking. This is the last Sting Ray body type Chevy made and what's more significant this is the collector's edition which was limited and there aren't many of them left out there. Here is a short history of this car. I bought from a local guy here that couldn't finish this project. I started working on it and got the interior done by professional at Rod's by Design. They are local to me here and they mostly do show cars. This Corvette is after full off-frame restoration. Mechanically speaking she is flawless. The engine and tranny have been rebuild and since it was done there is only 11500 miles on it. It's very rare to find a Vette like this with this mileage. It roars and purrs wonderfully. The engine is stock however there is Mallory electrical distributor put in it. The AC compressor and air pump have been removed for more power. I do have those parts and they come included in this listing. This vehicle drives awesome and you can feel the power the moment you put the gas pedal down. The exhaust has been modified also. Instead of stock exhaust there are side exhaust pipes which makes her sound absolutely awesome and ferocious. Let me put it this way, if you are at the light and you rave the engine, all heads are turned as the sound is simply spectacular. All the wiring and suspension is also fully restored and practically brand new. The wheels are very exceptional as this is the only year and model of Corvette that those were released. The tires and rims are in perfect condition and show almost no usage. This vehicle was always stored for winter and only driven in the summer. There is no rust anywhere to find. As I mentioned before I have removed all of the interior and gave it to be restored by pros. All the interior is leather/suede. The steering wheel is refinished with suede. The seats are half leather half suede, all the foam and the plastic seat parts have been redone and refinished. There is hand made embroidery of the Corvette logo on the head rests. Door panels have also been redone and refinished. All vinyl/plastic parts including the dash have been repaired and refinished. I left the gauge bezel and console bezel in original brown. There is a metal plate there boasting the name of the first owner of the vehicle and I didn't want to change that. Locks have been removed from the doors for painting. There is a little body work done, specifically on the hood, however she needs buffing and priming before she gets the paint job done. That is the only thing to finish really, the paint job. I have installed some of the interior back together for showing purposes, however I will leave it uninstalled  and save you some work as you would need to remove everything for painting anyway. I was planning to paint her pearl black as I believe it would look really nice with the polished side pipes. Overall, this beauty is 90% finished and there is very little to do. Here are few things that will need attention. The fuel gauge is stuck. I am pretty sure it's not the wiring, however I might be wrong. The hand brake light is on and it's due to the handle not releasing properly. I believe this is caused by an old spring in the handle itself. This doesn't affect the car however, the breaks release fully. The doors weather trims are not there and will need to be installed. Presently, there is no carpet. I have removed the old one. I can order a brand new one at any point and include it with the vehicle, however the buyer needs to choose the color. The car doesn't lock since the locks are removed but they are also included in this auction. Lastly, right T-top is broken. The glass is intact but will need to be replaced as shown on the pics. This was my dream car and I really wanted to finish it, however life happened and I need as much cash as I can get for my dad's surgery so toys got to go and I need to step up. This vehicle with such low mileage can fetch around 25K $ once finished. I have put around 5K in it. I am putting a reserve price on this auction as I want to make sure I get the minimum I want. That being said I am more than happy to answer any of your questions at 312-607-1746 or via eBay. Please make sure you read the description carefully and look through the photos. You are more than welcome to make an appointment with me for a test drive/viewing. I am also interested in offers you might make. This vehicle must go as time is ticking for my dad. There is no warranty on this vehicle. Sold as is with clear title. There are no liens on the title. Please contact me prior to bidding if you have less than 5 stars feedback. This is not to deter new ebayers but I also don't want to get stuck with none paying buyer. I reserve the right to cancel any bid or end this auction at any time. Thank you for your interest and good luck.

'Tomorrowland' movie will advertise Chevy Volt, E-NVs

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Before the 2016 Chevrolet Volt arrives at dealerships, it's going to come to a cineplex near you. The next-generation hybrid and the EN-V electric networked vehicle concept will play bit parts in the background of the upcoming Disney movie Tomorrowland starring George Clooney and Britt Robertson. Chevrolet will run digital and television ads around the movie's opening, which is May 22 in the US. The Bowtie and Disney tie-up is another in their years-long collaboration, going back to the revamped Test Track that opened at Epcot Center in 2012, and Chevolet is also the official vehicle of Shanghai Disney. The press release below has more on the movie and the Volt, the movie trailer is above – there's no Volt in it, but there is a late-model Buick. Chevrolet and Disney See Possibilities in 'Tomorrowland' Film to help kick off marketing efforts for next-generation Chevrolet Volt DETROIT, 2015-03-26 – At their core, Disney and Chevrolet are entities of optimism, believing that with a little ingenuity, anything is possible. They will come together in the new Disney film "Tomorrowland" to imagine the possibilities. The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Volt and EN-V concepts appear in the backdrops of the present day and Tomorrowland. The film's U.S. debut is May 22. In Disney's riveting mystery adventure "Tomorrowland," a jaded scientist and an optimistic teen embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space. "Tomorrowland is a place where nothing is impossible, which is something that Chevrolet believes can exist in the here and now," said Tim Mahoney, vice president, Global Chevrolet. "The Chevrolet spirit reflects the hopes and possibilities of tomorrow in real instruments of change for today like the next-generation Chevrolet Volt." The first marketing efforts for the 2016 Chevrolet Volt will be tied to Tomorrowland. A television spot and digital advertising will debut in early May. The all-new Volt is an electric car with extended range, showcasing a sleeker, sportier design that offers 50 miles of EV range, greater efficiency and stronger acceleration. The Volt's new, efficient propulsion system will offer an estimated total driving range of more than 400 miles. With regular charging, owners can expect to average more than 1,000 miles between gas fill-ups. Chevrolet and Disney have a long history of collaboration around the globe.

The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities.  The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit.  The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year.  Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting.  50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs.
