* since the last time I've listed my car here I fixed the Fan switch only working in the high position, read text below* Hey C4 fans, July 7th of this year was my 20th year owning this my first Vette, I am the second owner of this Car, I bought it sight unseen (well after I had it appraised) from a Guy in Tolland Connecticut, yeah I took a chance with buying a vehicle without hands on with it but it turned out to be a dream and relatively problem free car. of course I don't recommend this practice all you serious buyers have to see this one in person! So from Michigan I Flew out to connecticut and drove it home , oh what a drive. at the time I've never ridden in a Vette let alone drove one. for a 23 year old kid this was a dream finally owning a Corvette. Unfortunately I'm Selling the car to fund a cross country move and have no place for it. The Car has always been garaged kept well beside's the extended weekend trips to the national Corvette shows. Sunny days and Cars shows has been the miles of my 86. Alright, the notes on the Car and what comes with the price - As of a couple weeks ago when I took it out for its possible last photoshoot it has 59,285 miles - I had the front urethane bumper replaced with a American Custom Industries Fiberglass bumper last summer also during that time and paint of the new bumper I had the hood repainted by ACI as well ($2800) . soo the new owner is practically getting a new 86 Vette from the front. that new paint has less than a hundred miles on it. basically Have'nt driven the car since the new paint cause I knew I'd be selling it this year. - The next owner is getting all my receipts and maintenence records for the last 20 years - As you see on the repo window sticker the car came with the two targa top option and you get that Body colored one, that is in excellent condition I think I've only had it on the Car twice, as I perfered the lighter blue tint top on it. but you'll get both - 1996 I changed the Valve covers cause the originals were losing there color, but I'm throwing those in those originals for the new owner in case they want to send them off for refinishing someday. - Never been in a accident but I had the rear bumper from the door jams back repainted (ACI again) due to someone bumping into the rear bumper in a parking lot so insurance covered that mark. gotta love insurance for all that fresh paint just for a mark and scratch. that was about 14 years ago that was repainted and still looks great, the rest of the exterior car and interior and engine components are original color and condition - 1998 I had the 2 3/4 inch cat back Power Effects adjustable exhaust installed, 5 position adjustable for sound and back pressure - 1998 Installed adjustable rear spring bolts from Vette brake and products. to lower the wheel well gap to match the front. - 2003 installed AFS 5 spoke ZR1 rims with 275's Kumo tires at 43,350 miles also same day installed GT Rotors ZR1 Big Brake upgrade kit, 13 inch rotors and twin piston calipers front. rears rotors in that kit are same size as OE. - 2003 New clutch, throughout bearing, clutch slave cylinder and turned flywheel, don't know why that went out cause I honestly say that I've never turned a rear wheel on this car, always have driven my takeoffs respectively. does'nt mean I've never gotten in the L98's awesome torque range every time I've driven it wink wink. but yeah I've babied the clutch and was stumped why it wore out soo early in miles. - The stereo I replaced with a GM CD player works great , the stock speakers work but like most Bose C4 speaker's from that time the internal amps are distorting the music at times. soo that might need addressing if you love your Radio Audio. - Everything else on the Car works EXCEPT the heater , in fact the heater has'nt worked for like 16 years, I figured it was'nt a priority to me at the time as I knew I'd probally never be driving the car in cold weather. *And like I said at the start of this text here, I've fixed the heater/AC blower fan only working in the high position I got on the ball and ordered a Blower motor resistor switch simple $20 part took me all but 3 minutes to install, turned on the car and still only working in the high position, ok suggestion 2 was to clean the blower motor relay switch, sure enough the thing was filthy with oil, more specific armour all type of products I've been using to clean the engine compartment over the last 20 years, So I cleaned it with CRC electrical cleaner product I had sure enough fan speed control works again low medium and high woohooo. Soo just the heater does not work, from the research I've done its the blend door not working and that part is hard to come by and is not made anymore, so the new owner might want to address that, or not like I said I've never had the need for the heater with the climates or seasons I drove in. - there seems to be a tiny hole in the original almost 29 year old Cat before the Y pipe as you can hear that leak, so might be on the next owners to do list as well. - Engine is tight and fresh and strong pulling shows no sign of blue or black smoke, besides the Power Effects exhaust mod, for power I've only added a cut out air cleaner cover and K&N and throttle body airfoil to help with the air in. everything else on the Engine is stock for power. - There is a minor oil leak underneath, no clue where it is coming from, so you will need to park over a drip pan if you have a nice garage floor or address that leak. - The blemish on the title with the miles not saying original is my own stupid mistake, I moved from Mi to Ohio almost 4 years ago and I have never been to a title office to title a car before, the titles on the 4 cars I've owned in my life have always been handled by dealerships or banks and I was handed them to me in those transactions and I've never moved out of state so no clue what to expect when I took the old titles of my two cars (daily driver and this Vette) into the office. They asked me for the miles I said crap so I had to guess of what I last saw on the odometers I lady at the office did warn me it might be a issue if I were to sell the cars I said no biggie title them up, well turns out law states I can't re brand the title as actual miles (I tried and made a trip back to the office) BUT I assure you these are original miles and I have all service records some showing mileage along the way the last almost 20 years of ownership of this car. you will have all those records with the purchase. this car was never my daily driver, as I said before just babied on sunny days and cruises to car shows. For a Almost 29 year old Corvette this car is solid and well preserved. I believe it won't take much money to make it a almost perfect 86. I loved everything about Corvette over the years and it was a dream to finally own one. I've made lots of friends over the years caravaning to various Car shows, this car has brought me much happiness because of that. just have'nt driven it enough the last 10 years or so to warrant keeping it around on my move out west. I've moved onto different hobbies. I Hope the next owner has the same passion I once did for this car and hobby. The Auction might end Early as I have listed it locally The thing I'll miss the most is walking up to this Vette (and its probally 100's of coats of Zaino reflection haha) I have 107 HQ pics loaded in my Flickr account email me and I'll send it along capnsteve19@gmail.com Thanks for looking and happy bidding Steve |

Nissan Leaf makes it 19 in a row for record sales; Chevy Volt drops 21 percent
Wed, Oct 1 2014The Nissan Leaf continues its streak of "best month ever" sales with 2,881 EVs sold in September. Compared to the 1,953 sold in September 2013, that represents an increase of 47.5 percent and, as Nissan itself must be tired of saying by now, it marks yet another best month ever, same as last month and now the 19th in a row. Okay, sure, we know, Nissan will tout this run for as long as it can, but we're certainly expecting it each month, so if it ever doesn't happen, it'll be interesting to see how Nissan talks about it. Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. In any case, Nissan's director of EV marketing, Toby Perry, sent AutoblogGreen a statement that said, "Nissan Leaf owners have turned into some of our best marketers, and they jump at any opportunity to share their enthusiasm with friends and family. Take National Drive Electric Week – a grassroots celebration of all things EV and the perfect platform for LEAF owners to showcase the benefits of going electric. After celebrating with EV owners in more than 130 cities across the country, we saw a significant increase in Leaf showroom visits with midweek traffic just as heavy as what we see on the weekends." Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. Over on the Chevy Volt front, things aren't quite as rosy. After coming off a good August (the best sales month of 2014 by almost 500 units), Volt sales were down to 1,394, a decrease of 21.1 percent compared to September 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 13.2 percent year-over-year. It's kind of a stretch, but perhaps people are already waiting for the next-gen Volt, which will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January, to go on sale? Speaking of things we say every month, our in-depth round-up of US green car sales is in process and will be appearing soon. Until then, please discuss how these two long-standing plug-in champs are doing on the sales floor. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales hybrid sales
GM follows up Lambda CUV stop-sale with tire recall
Mon, Feb 9 2015In late January, General Motors announced a stop-sale for about 6,281 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave because of the possibility for the treads cracking on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. At the time, GM said that this would also eventually lead to a safety campaign to repair the problem, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just published those details. GM's recall covers 5,876 of the three Lambda platform crossovers to replace their tires. According to NHTSA, if the treads crack, there could be a loss of pressure and possible failure. Goodyear already announced its own recall of the tires after internal testing found small tread cracks. The company did not believe this was safety issue, but the problem did put the rubber out of compliance with federal laws. The business's safety campaign covered an estimated 48,512 tires. Of those, around 32,000 were reportedly made for GM to either be fitted to vehicles or sold as replacements. The remainder went to the aftermarket. Goodyear's portion of the recall is expected to begin around February 20. RECALL Subject : Tire Tread Cracking/FMVSS 110 Report Receipt Date: JAN 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V044000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,876 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2015 GMC ACADIA 2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 14, 2015, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 20, 2015, and 2015 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 16, 2015, and all equipped with Goodyear P255/65R18 Fortera HL tires. These vehicles are equipped with tires that may experience tread cracking. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less." CONSEQUENCE: If the tire treads crack, a loss of tire pressure and possible tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires that were manufactured within a specific date range, free of charge.
