After owning my dream car for over 16 years I have decided to sell my baby and find a new love. This sale is for my ridiculously clean 1987 Corvette that I purchased July 17 1997. It had 39000 miles on it then and now has 44970 on it. It has been my baby since then and I have taken care of it very well. There are numerous upgrades done to it for better performance while still being very reliable if you chose to drive it more regularly than I have. The exterior is Light Blue Metallic and is in excellent shape. The front bumper has some small nicks on it and a small chip or two. The interior is extremely  clean and taken care of, the grey cloth seats are perfect and have no tears or wear through them. The door panels are in very good shape with no damage or cracks. The dash functions as it should but sometimes I feel it is not as bright as I think it should be. I have not taken apart the dash and cleaned the sensor eye to perhaps improve that. When I purchased this car in 1997 I wanted to have the fastest, cleanest C4 there was so I started to remove all unnecessary items in the car that did not help performance. I removed all wiring to the radio, speakers and theaftermarket radio that was in it and also the spare tire and carrier. I do not have these items anymore. I also removed the cruise control module that went above the battery in the engine compartment. Some of the upgrades I have done to the vehicle are:                   -Installed TPIS shocks, installed an open air filter housing and a smooth plastic air intake duct, installed bosch platinum +4 spark plugs and TPIS plug wires, installed TPIS long tube headers with no mufflers and just long stainless exhaust pipes. I have removed all smog equipment and have a stainless bracket kit in place of the smog pump. I installed a Tpis MINIRAM manifold which has made a BIG difference in performance. Also have installed a TPIS air foil in the throttle body. I have changed the rearend gears from 3.07 to 3.73 which was a great improvement! Also I had a B&M shift kit put in the transmission which gives it very firm shifts when shifting it manually which feels great as compared to letting it shift on its own. The car was and is one of my favorite designs ever and it will always be. But I dont drive it nearly enough as the miles attest to and with a family now perhaps a four seat sports car might be more practical. This car drives awesome and sounds amazing with the practically no exhaust on it and I would feel good driving it nearly anywhere (as long as its sunny and dry) . The car is exceptionally clean underneath and the engine compartment would compare I believe to almost anyone seen. I am crazy OCD with keeping my vehicles clean as you will see. The few negatives about the car is the A/C has never been charges since I bought it and doesnt blow any air out of the vents, not sure if the ventilation in the dash was disconnected when I removed the radio and equipment but the car is/was my sunny day baby and never really cared. I do not have the stock wheels just the aluminum ones on it that I have now. The front tires have good thread left and the back tires are BF goodrich drag radials and didnt have much to begin with new, probably have about 2000 miles on them. The power windows/locks/seats all work perfectly and the bronze clear roof has no crack but some crazing in it. The weather stripping is good except for the rear roof which if fine except for a small chunk taken out I think by the previous owner perhaps locking himself out? I replaced the fuel pump with a high flow pump when I installed the MINIRAM manifold and since then the fuel gauge is not as accurate as it should be. Not sure if I bent the arm installing it but have not tried to correct it. The only spot the carpeting is poor is in the hatch area where it has a few dry spot and doesnt look perfect.(I keep the sunshade over it now). Anyway the car will impress anyone looking to have the cleanest loudest C4 corvette around and it has low miles so its reliable and could be taken to carlisle or wherever with confidence. Please call or text me with any questions or if you would like to look at the car in its garage palace in northeast PA. I am asking 13000.00 for the car and I also have lots of paperwork, the original gastank build sheet, the two part shop manuals and a haynes manual for it. My cell number is 5706903159, Mark. Thank you very much for looking!

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept

Sat, Nov 22 2014

"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.
