The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Paint is good but I touched up several chips. 2 small dome lights behind the seats are missing. The tires only have 1k on them but at certain speeds sometimes feel like they could use re-balancing. The seat and steer wheel are showing wear but have covers on them that look nice. The cd play works great but the antenna needs new coax and there is no radio reception. The carpet has all been replaced but the rear is a little faded where sun shines through the hatchback. Otherwise car is in great condition for age and mileage"

Bought this car with a 57 chevy as a package deal and never planned on keeping it. I have replaced the battery and alternator, installed a new window switch and got the stereo tuned in, now I want to sell it, I will also sell and assist in shipping internationally as long as buyer pays all fees and shipping costs. This car has a 4 speed auto trans with Tuned Port Injection 350 engine. The TPI I am told is the one to get of the older corvettes, it does NOT have the less desirable cross fire injection. I noticed in one of the pictures the engine has 71 psi oil pressure at idle. The drivetrain is original and has not been modified.  Suspension feels really tight and car drives like it is on rails. Tires are almost new with a nice performance tread design.  It runs and shifts and drives great. A/C works great, has been converted to the newer 134A Refridgerant. The car was repainted about 7 years ago and the true flame paint job on front looks great. Several chips in the black have been touched up.  Glass targa top seals good and stores in the rear when out. The high dollar tool to remove the top is in the console. The dash has been fitted with a carbon fiber kit. The digital dash works good but as you can see in the pic there are 2 segments not working in the tach readout. I was told the last owner put about $2500 in the stereo. It has an alpine deck with 3 disc cd magazine that works great and remote is included, works great. Antenna needs coax so radio don't get reception. The amp and equalizers are pictured with 2 6X9 and 2 subwoofer speakers. It really kicks when you want it too. This is going to be a great buy for the money. I don't expect it to go high because of the miles but it will be a great deal for whoever buys it. I will try to answer questions (email) to the best of my knowledge. I have only owned it for a short time but I know the previous owner well and may have to consult with him for your answers. It has a low reserve because I have too many toys so good luck bidding. Thanks!!

Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber

Thu, Dec 7 2017

It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys

Wed, Mar 18 2015

General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
