I am the second owner of this 1982 Corvette Sport Coupe.  It still has its original dark claret paint (1 of 853), with original red leather interior.   This car has just under 38,000 miles and starts, runs, shifts and stops like a new car.  I have owned this car since June 1991.  Id like to sell 


only because Im moving to a smaller house with a smaller garage.  The only non original items on the car are the KYB shocks, the stainless steel lined brake calipers, master cylinder, distributor cap/ coil (have originals along with distributor cap shielding cover) , plugs and wires.  


  Also, the original radio was  replaced with an Alpine unit prior to my ownership, BUT I have the original radio IF you would like to change it back.  The original paint has numerous chips and scratches BUT it shines like glass, the original bumpers have the typical age wave to them 


here and there.  Im sorry to say there has been a small touch up to the paint on the drivers side fender and door, done prior to my ownership... its an area about 2 foot by 2 foot that was not "blended" in professionally.  I have lived with it over the years just because I dont want to 


disturb any surrounding factory paint. This car has never had any body damage and has no frame rust, except for some surface rust to clips, and exhaust parts..  The interior looks excellent considering it is all original... the glovebox door has been signed by Zora Duntov, Larry 


Shinoda and Dave McLellan.... with pix to prove it.  However, the pix dont show Dave McLellan signing.  I also have the window sticker.  The exhaust system is all original and the mufflers could stand to be replaced BUT I feel that should be up to the new owner to choose which way to go with it.... stock or custom.  

  The  A/C works BUT it needs to be recharged...... blows "cool" at best.....  It comes with a very nice T-top case and factory service manual.  You may find a "more perfect" 1982 Corvette on ebay BUT it will run the same and cost a lot more.  This is just a really clean original 


unmolested Vette signed by Zora Duntov, Larry Shinoda and Dave McLellan.  This car has a clear illinois title BUT has lived in my garage in Oceanside, California since October 1994.  Now for the "fine print".  This car is located in Oceanside California 92057.  Buyer is 


responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements.  This is a 31 year old Chevrolet, therefore it is being sold "AS IS / WHERE IS" condition.  There are no warranties written, expressed or implied.  You or your agent are welcome to inspect the car in person.  


Purchase, pay and drive home if you wish.  Feel free to ask questions prior to bidding.  $500 non refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours and the balance to be paid in cash within 3 days by the winning bidder.

2015 Chevrolet Trax

Thu, Dec 4 2014

After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As 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.
