Just in time for Dads and Grads is this beautiful 1987 Chevrolet Corvette.  This is an absolute cream puff and has 28,2XX original miles. It is a Tuned Port Injection 350 cubic inch V8 engine with an automatic transmission with overdrive. The car is in excellent condition and has been garage kept since new. It is gunmetal gray/silver with dark grey leather interior. 

I am the third owner and have all of the records from the second owner dating back to 2003.  The second and third owners of this car were mechanics who pampered the car and never abused it.  It has a new MAF sensor, MAF relay, intake manifold gaskets, and oil pressure sending unit. No trouble codes and runs perfect. The interior is clean (door panels,dash pad,carpet are in great condition). It has a removable painted top and a glass top included for those nice summer days ahead. All features work as they were originall designed and manufactured.  Teh car passed VA state inspection in 2011 prior to being registered as an antique in 2012. 

Factory installed features include cruise control, power windows, power locks, power antenna, power seats, tilt wheel, power brakes, power antenna, and power steering. Factory wheels in excellent condition. Has 4 new Yokohama tires on the car, new battery, and new exhaust with mufflers. A/C recharged with R134a and blows cold. Truly a nice car and a turn key. Have clear and free Virginia state title in hand. 

This car needs nothing, but there are a few cosmetic issues that should be pointed out.  The left front removable fender (that covers the battery) has a scratch in it as shown in the photos.  It is minor and very difficult to see.  On the interior, the carpet on the door panels is coming unglued on the driver door from age and the headliner on the painted hard top is sagging.  The left display on teh instrument cluster is slighter dimmer than the right, and the radio tends to "drift" from station to station when the weather is cold.  These are all very minor issues, but I want to nit-pick the car so there will be NO disappointments. 

This vehicle is being sold as-is and where is. Cash only sale on pick up. The winning bidder will be responsible for shipping and pick-up.  For interested parties that are not in the DC Metro area, fly into Dulles or Washington National Airport.  I will pick you up and you can drive the car home. 

Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  Placing a bid means you intend to follow through.  Please do not waste my time or yours.  

Additional photos can be provided on request.  Please note this vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Thank you for looking and good luck!

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
