1999 CHEVROLET EURO VETTE CONVERTIBLE. These Corvettes were produced in Bowling Green right along side all the
other Vette's, but with options for European export. We've all seen the old classics, and who wouldn't like to own
one of them? I knew a guy that had a 69 L 88 back in the mid seventies, he flaired the fender wells, put some big
tires on it and raced that ol' Vette all over town. Then he got married and settled down, I remember the day I
stopped by his house and setting in the driveway in the place of that Vette, there sat a brand new Ford LTD. I'll
bet he wants to slap himself every time he thinks about that L 88. But you know, we all did the same thing, I owned
a 64 1/2 GTO and a 67 Camaro SS, sure wish I'd held on to at least one of them, oh well, it's all water under the
bridge now. I think that's what you have here, the opportunity to purchase an extremely rare car. GM only made a
few, best calculation is less than 100 of the Euro Vette Convertible's were produced in 1999. Out of the whole C5
production run from 1997 to 2004 not more than 5000 Corvette's were exported to Europe. This listing is a very real
chance to own a genuine low production Chevrolet Corvette. Most of the options are subtle, the average person
wouldn't even notice. An extra light here or there, the button for the trunk release was relocated from the dash to
the console, on the dash where the trunk button was located, now there is a switch to control the back up fog
lamps. The oil pressure gage is in kPa and the water temp ins in Celsius, but no one is going to mistake that 300
mph speedo. To many Euro options to list here, I'll put a photo of the RPO codes in this listing, you can look them
up yourself if your so inclined. This car was originally titled in Gombrook, Manchester, England. the original
owners brought the car to the US in 2003. I purchased the car in January of 2006. I have always treated this car
gently and kept it in the garage, the motor and drive train do not have any issues. I service the car regularly and
only use Mobil 1 oil, has new tires, A-C blows cold air, heads up display, the interior and exterior look great. In
1999 GM didn't produce very many Corvette's for European export, a couple of hundred total, and of these no more
than 100 were convertibles. That being said, it doesn't take a genious to figure how rare of an opportunity you
have to purchase what is sure to be a classic. Cars like the 1969 L88 Corvette, low production numbers are what
made those cars what they are today. That's what's being offered right here, it's just a 1999 Vette, but with the
European export options, this is a genuine GM product with less than 100 examples in the world. I heard about a 63
Euro Vette that sold for 350 grand a couple a years back, that car wasn't really anything special, the kicker was
that it was a low production European export. Put 30 more years on this car, no telling what it'll be, because you
know, those crazy driving Europeans will wreck all there Vette's by then, this might be the only one left, who
knows.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
