1995 Corvette Pace Car Replica on 2040-cars
Yorktown, Indiana, United States
|
I have an awesome, fun, fast, budget-friendly RARE Corvette up for auction. A 1995 Pace Car Corvette. This is not one of the few track cars that graced the Indy 500 but it is one of the 415 that went to Chevrolet's top Corvette sellers. This particular car was delivered to Boucher Chevrolet in Waukesha, WI. All in all, there were only 527 built, which is a very low production amount. By comparison, there were 6500 '78 Corvette pace cars built, over 7000 '86 pace cars as all convertibles were designated pace cars, and 1000 '96 Grand Sport's. I believe the '95-'96 Corvettes are the best bang for your buck out there. I have a GS and both of these cars are simply a blast to drive and the Pace Car gets just as many looks as the GS with it's special purple and white paint and top down. With only 527 world-wide you likely won't pass another one in your town.
This car has 90k miles but it looks like 30k, it has been very well taken care of Take a look at the pictures. The Goodyear F1's are new ($1200), the paint shines as it should. The first owner drove it to see the country for 88,000 highway miles before he passed away. The second owner put just 2,000 miles on it and he installed the stainless tips for a more throaty sound, I have the original can mufflers/tips (it does sound good). A few signs I can tell this Corvette was meticulously cared for: there is absolutely no curb rash on any of the wheels, the engine compartment and wheel wells are immaculate, the bolster area of the driver's seat shows what looks like 30,000 miles worth of wear (see picture). This car needs nothing. It shows no codes, the steering wheel is perfectly straight. The top is in great shape and I assume it is original. It has a tiny 1/8th inch nick in it. The car drives and shifts as it should, it is not a rattle trap, very solid. No smoke whatsoever. The rear bumper has some crack lines in the paint (see picture) and the console has two spots where the finish peeled (picture). I bought a new passive entry remote for it. I have the original window sticker, bill of sale, and key knockouts, and owner's manual. It comes with a nice custom car cover and I may throw in two matching freshly dry-cleaned Pace Car jackets ($400 value) if I get what I think the car is worth. Clean, clear Indiana title showing actual miles. I am not a dealer so you can save $. These C4's are nice cars for the money. Why not get one of the most rare ones out there for just a bit more than a regular C4. You won't be disappointed. For sale locally so I may end this listing. Low reserve. Feel free to call me 765-717-9314, my name is Mark. On Apr-26-14 at 06:50:01 PDT, seller added the following information: I wanted to point out that there is a spot of white paint peeled off on the battery access side panel, about an inch around. It would be an easy fix since it is on the rib just below the hood. Ebay won't let me add a any pictures so message me and I will send a couple. I also noticed there are two silver caps missing from the lug nuts, these are readily available. *I think these cars will rise in value over the years. History has proven that low production numbers translate into higher collectability and values. I would keep this one but my wife doesn't see it my way....I know I will regret selling it someday. On May-01-14 at 06:38:43 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had a few questions and concerns on the condition of this car. If you didn't look at the odometer you would think this car has 20k-30k miles on it. The only indication it may have more miles is that the driver's side speaker cover carpet is worn. These are available for $120, personally, I'd look for a good used one. It IS almost 20 years old. The mileage calculates out to 4530 miles a year and most of these were highway miles by the original owner (as per the second owner who bought the car from original owner's widow). The two lug nut covers will be replaced when they get here. Also, the original jack and spare tire are in place and appear to have never been used. Although I have no service records I have the Carfax which shows no accidents and shows the starter replaced at 81,033 on 4/3/2012 and a new battery at 89,304 on 9/19/2013........guys, if you aren't completely satisfied when you come get this car, you don't have to take it. |

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
