Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts right up and runs strong as you would expect with low mileage.  3.9L high output V6 engine.  Only 67k miles.  Title is checked off "not actual miles" and lists "9 miles".  I believe the currently displayed mileage to be correct.  No engine knocking, smoke, or dripping leaks. Underside of engine looks dry as you can see in pics. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should. Has very powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  Has been fleet serviced since new.  These engines normally last 300k+ miles with proper maintenance. 

Exterior     

Paint has all of its factory shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  No dents or rust on the body.  There may be a few very minor blemishes here and there but body is straight and in very good condition as you can see.  The bumpers have some scuffs.  There were 3 roof mounted antennas that were removed and holes plugged.  There was a spotlight that was removed and the base plate is still mounted.  While this is not a showroom new vehicle, it is in exceptional condition for its age and mileage.  This is one of the nicest Police Impalas I have had. 

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with no rips or tears in carpet or seats.  No excessive wear.  The stock vinyl floor was removed and a new aftermarket carpet installed for aesthetic purposes. There are a few tiny holes drilled in the trim panel around the radio where some equipment was mounted.  Inside is fresh and clean with no evidence of smoking or pets.  The ABS light is on, and pertains to a faulty front left wheel speed sensor.  The right front tire pressure sensor is not working and the low tire icon/light is illuminated.  A/C  blows ICE COLD.  All interior electronics function as they should.       

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining. Has factory alloy LT/LS style rims.  

I have test driven approximately 50 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle.  It should have no problem driving anywhere.  Obvious defects have been noted but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  Please keep in mind this was a police/emergency vehicle as well as salvage, and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the vehicle for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so.  IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE.  FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus

Fri, Jun 16 2023

General Motors sold second- and third-generation Suzuki Cultuses with Geo or Chevrolet Metro badging in the United States from 1989 through 2001 model years, and we've all seen plenty of those cars on the street over the years. The first-generation Cultus was sold here as well, with Chevrolet Sprint badges, and I've found a rare example of the Sprint five-door hatchback in a Northern California car graveyard. The Chevy Sprint first appeared on the West Coast as a 1985 model, then became available everywhere in the United States for the 1986 through 1988 model years (in Canada, it was sold as the Pontiac Firefly). It was available here as a hatchback with three or five doors; for 1986 only, the five-door was badged as the Sprint Plus. Soon enough, The General would be selling many more Asian-built cars with Detroit badges here. Isuzu I-Marks were sold as Chevrolet/Geo Spectrums starting in the 1986 model year, while Daewoo provided the Pontiac LeMans two years later. Under the hood, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 48 horsepower. The five-door Sprint cost $5,580 in 1986, which was $200 more than the three-door (those prices would be $15,445 and $14,891 in 2023 dollars). I've documented seven discarded Sprints prior to this one (including an extremely rare Turbo Sprint), and all of them were three-doors; we can assume that price was the most important factor for Sprint buyers. Gasoline prices were crashing hard during the middle 1980s, but memories of gas lines and odd-even-day fuel rationing from 1979 remained strong. What cars competed with the '86 Sprint on sticker price? Well, there was no way to undercut the hilariously affordable (and terrible) Yugo GV, which cost $3,990. The much bigger (but still pretty bad) Hyundai Excel listed at $4,995, while Toyota would sell you a sturdy (but zero-fun) Tercel starting at $5,448. Even the wretched Chevy Chevette — yes, it was still available in 1986 — cost $5,645. The original buyer of this car was willing to shell out an extra $395 to get an automatic instead of the base five-speed manual. That's about $1,093 in today's money. This car must have been slow. By the end, the doors were held shut with duct tape, but it still stayed alive until age 37. 53 miles per gallon on the highway! It does everything. The camels of the highway.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
