This is a nice Corvette, that I would like to keep, however my financial situation requires that I must sell it.  It has approximately 82,000 miles on it.  We acquired it at 72,000 miles from the owner at the time in Atlantic City, NJ, so there is very minimal surface rust on exposed metal parts on the underside (basically rust free)  It had a spun bearing so we trailered it back to North Dakota and then completely dismantled and steamed pressured/boiled the block and rebuilt the entire engine with new GM parts, with the exception of the injectors which are Borg Warner Ford, which are better and make for faster acceleration than the GM Corvette injectors due to better atomization utilizing 3 orifices as opposed to a single one for Corvette.  Mileage in town average 14-15 mpg and country as high as 21/23 for a combined 17/19.  The tires are in fair to good condition.  The plexiglass top (removable and storable in the back hatch) is speckled due to aging but still strong and functional.  The A/C has been converted to 134 and works very well as does the heating system.  It has the high pressure oil system so even at idle it doesn't get below 40#'s and normally is 60#'s or more at higher revolutions, if my memory is right.  It's meant to take high HP output for extended periods of time.  The cooling fans for the radiator doesn't come on until 229 degrees and works flawlessly.  (high oil pressure and high engine heat equals optimum performance).  I put a remanufactured rack and pinion on it due to leaking.  The Vette came factory equipped with high performance suspension so the ride is a bit choppy but has excellent handling qualities.  The tires are the larger 255's.  I replaced the Corvette valve covers with regular GM covers as they add some color to the under the hood set up.  It has a Sony am/fm/CD radio and retractable radio antennae.  There are two places on the body where I did a touch up on the paint or fiberglass.  Above the right wheel well the fiberglass was chipped so I filled it in with Bondo and sprayed a fairly close match, but one day a professional should touch it up.  On the right rear, near the taillight, paint had chipped off so I spray painted that and got it close, but again a professional could fix it up better.  The headlight assemblies work perfectly.  The blue color was relatively rare for that year.  The photos I've attached were taken last summer so the mileage is showing higher than in the dash photo.  Photos with the Vette on the trailer is when we brought it back from New Jersey in January of 09.  The photos also show the blems that I mentioned earlier that I have since covered up but should be retouched by a professional and that is the area over the right wheel well and the rear tail light right side.  It's a fun Vette to drive, it sounds nice and will get you from point A to point B rather fast if you need to.  If you need assistance in delivery I may be able to help you in this regard for a nominal fee, my phone number is 701-238-1695.  The Vette is presently in covered storage, so arrangements should be made in advance so the vehicle can be taken out.  I can store the vehicle for up to 3 months, but of course full payment within 7 days of sale.  Note:  Because the Vette is in storage, I'm using my memory on mileage, but I believe this to be close to 82,000+ which is actual. The Vette has been stored inside most of it's life so the paint still looks pretty good.  I did a NADA blue book and it show that the low retail is $7227.00.  The average retail is $11590.00 and high retail is $19530.00.  I feel the value is somewhere between the average and the high, when you read the descriptions for what those ratings are, so probably around $15000.00.

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here

Mon, Feb 13 2023

Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.

GM ending stop-sale order on heavy-duty trucks

Tue, Apr 26 2022

General Motors responded to an inquiry from Autoblog regarding a stop-sale order on its full-size heavy-duty pickup trucks. Here's GM's official statement. GM is committed to building the highest quality products possible. We paused delivery on a small number of HD pickups with the 6.6 liter Duramax engine last week to finalize an investigation into a potential quality issue. The investigation has been completed and the stop sale will be lifted for the small number of vehicles at dealerships.Customers can be assured GM’s heavy duty pickups are covered by a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. The original article continues below. General Motors has reportedly sent its Chevrolet and GMC dealers a stop-sale order that applies to some examples of the 2022 Silverado HD, the 2022 Silverado MD, and the 2022 Sierra HD. The units affected by the stop-sale order may develop an engine-related problem. Citing anonymous sources, website GM Authority wrote that the Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 in the affected trucks can hydrolock, which means liquid could enter the cylinders and cause a substantial amount of damage. The report does not specify where the liquid would come from; hydrolocking can happen by driving through a deep puddle of water, for example, but a large amount of coolant can cause it as well. The publication adds that the stop-sale order was assigned internal reference number N222362910. It also notes that the trucks included in it can't be sold, delivered to buyers, traded with another dealer, sent to auction, or even used for demonstration purposes until further notice. Earlier in April 2022, GM Authority reported that General Motors planned to buy back an unspecified number of Silverado HD and Sierra HD trucks due to quality-related issues with the 6.6-liter V8. Details about the problems experienced by customers haven't been released; all we know is that each truck will be replaced, though the replacement may not have the same equipment due to the ongoing chip shortage.
