NO RESERVE
Beautiful 1986 Corvette Indy Pace Car Edition (badge on console). Ermine White, Red Leather Upholstery, Automatic Transmission, full power equipment etc-- see pic of Monroney label.
Description: The 86 C4 Convertible was the beginning of the convertibles again after not being made for 10 years. Open air motoring carried a significant price increase-- $5000 premium over the Coupe and cracked the over Thirty Thousand mark for the first time. This 28 year old sports muscle car has less than 46,000 original documented miles and is adult owned by a National Corvette Restorer's Society (NCRS) member/judge. This car has been judged Blue Ribbon Top Flight 3 times-- in 2009 at the St. Louis National Convention and the last time in 2013 Hampton, VA at the NCRS National Convention. The car was driven to and from both these events from California by the owner (was awarded the Longest Drive ribbon). The car has a personally signed (2009 and 2013) distributor cover by Dave McLelland, GM Chief Engineer of the C4 series. The Award certificates are also signed by Dave-- see pics.
The car has 5000 mile 'old' BF Goodrich tires and new battery. Everything works correctly on the car EXCEPT the Cassette Tape player.
Otherwise, the Delco Bose AM/FM sound system and the automatic electric antenna works perfectly.
The interior is in excellent condition-- if the pictures seem "orangy" in color it's because of the sunshine/lighting. All carpeting is in original red bright color.
The body has never been accidented and the paint is 100% original and in excellent condition.
The vinyl top material is in good condition but has suffered a few tiny cuts due to being put up and down-- see pics.
History; Total production of 1986 models: 27794 Coupes and only 7315 Convertibles making this a fairly rare model and likely to increase in desireability and value in years to come.
Documentation: This car was delivered new in Walnut Creek, CA in December, 1986 to a Doctor who put 13,000 miles on it, then sold it to another Doctor in Sacramento, CA who sold it to me at 22,000 miles. It's an original, genuine California rust-free automobile.
The car is being sold AS IS/WHERE IS and No Warranty is expressed or implied. Your mechanic/representative is welcome to inspect the car. I will pick up the buyer at the Oakland or San Francisco airport to effect delivery.
All questions will be honestly and completely answered and I have other pictures if you want them. Or I can take pictures of anything specific if you wish.
I don't think this car has any surprises-- it runs well and is ready to drive anywhere!
NO RESERVE!

Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race

Thu, Sep 8 2016

The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems

Fri, Sep 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
