After owning my dream car for over 16 years I have decided to sell my baby and find a new love. This sale is for my ridiculously clean 1987 Corvette that I purchased July 17 1997. It had 39000 miles on it then and now has 44970 on it. It has been my baby since then and I have taken care of it very well. There are numerous upgrades done to it for better performance while still being very reliable if you chose to drive it more regularly than I have. The exterior is Light Blue Metallic and is in excellent shape. The front bumper has some small nicks on it and a small chip or two. The interior is extremely clean and taken care of, the grey cloth seats are perfect and have no tears or wear through them. The door panels are in very good shape with no damage or cracks. The dash functions as it should but sometimes I feel it is not as bright as I think it should be. I have not taken apart the dash and cleaned the sensor eye to perhaps improve that. When I purchased this car in 1997 I wanted to have the fastest, cleanest C4 there was so I started to remove all unnecessary items in the car that did not help performance. I removed all wiring to the radio, speakers and theaftermarket radio that was in it and also the spare tire and carrier. I do not have these items anymore. I also removed the cruise control module that went above the battery in the engine compartment. Some of the upgrades I have done to the vehicle are: -Installed TPIS shocks, installed an open air filter housing and a smooth plastic air intake duct, installed bosch platinum +4 spark plugs and TPIS plug wires, installed TPIS long tube headers with no mufflers and just long stainless exhaust pipes. I have removed all smog equipment and have a stainless bracket kit in place of the smog pump. I installed a Tpis MINIRAM manifold which has made a BIG difference in performance. Also have installed a TPIS air foil in the throttle body. I have changed the rearend gears from 3.07 to 3.73 which was a great improvement! Also I had a B&M shift kit put in the transmission which gives it very firm shifts when shifting it manually which feels great as compared to letting it shift on its own. The car was and is one of my favorite designs ever and it will always be. But I dont drive it nearly enough as the miles attest to and with a family now perhaps a four seat sports car might be more practical. This car drives awesome and sounds amazing with the practically no exhaust on it and I would feel good driving it nearly anywhere (as long as its sunny and dry) . The car is exceptionally clean underneath and the engine compartment would compare I believe to almost anyone seen. I am crazy OCD with keeping my vehicles clean as you will see. The few negatives about the car is the A/C has never been charges since I bought it and doesnt blow any air out of the vents, not sure if the ventilation in the dash was disconnected when I removed the radio and equipment but the car is/was my sunny day baby and never really cared. I do not have the stock wheels just the aluminum ones on it that I have now. The front tires have good thread left and the back tires are BF goodrich drag radials and didnt have much to begin with new, probably have about 2000 miles on them. The power windows/locks/seats all work perfectly and the bronze clear roof has no crack but some crazing in it. The weather stripping is good except for the rear roof which if fine except for a small chunk taken out I think by the previous owner perhaps locking himself out? I replaced the fuel pump with a high flow pump when I installed the MINIRAM manifold and since then the fuel gauge is not as accurate as it should be. Not sure if I bent the arm installing it but have not tried to correct it. The only spot the carpeting is poor is in the hatch area where it has a few dry spot and doesnt look perfect.(I keep the sunshade over it now). Anyway the car will impress anyone looking to have the cleanest loudest C4 corvette around and it has low miles so its reliable and could be taken to carlisle or wherever with confidence. Please call or text me with any questions or if you would like to look at the car in its garage palace in northeast PA. I am asking 13000.00 for the car and I also have lots of paperwork, the original gastank build sheet, the two part shop manuals and a haynes manual for it. My cell number is 5706903159, Mark. Thank you very much for looking!

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox
Mon, Jan 9 2017Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
