1987 Chevrolet Corvette Black on 2040-cars
Williston Park, New York, United States
|
Up for sale today with much sadness is my 1987 corvette. I have driven and owned my fair share of cars and for the money I don't think that you can find a car that is even close to as fun to drive as the C4 corvette but if you are looking at this listing chances are you already know this. I spent 2 years trying to find a car that had most of its major components working as well as a car that was high optioned for the time this car has the rare Delco Bose stereo, digital climate control electric seats and windows mirrors and the clear Targa roof and most importantly and Atuo transmission but why an auto in a sports car, these cars from 1984 to 1989 had a 4 + 3 trans that always had some sort of problem while the Autos were problem free. This car is in nice shape for a 25+ year old car but its shows its age in places. The car will also need a good motor tune up and it does have a lifter tic but it still runs and drives fine. If you would like to view the car please send me an email with you name and phone number. Please read the below overview. Exterior: The paint is in ok shape with some problems the front bumper has been painted but is paint is dull but it still looks good unless you are on top of it. The rear quarter and the rear bumper has nicks and dings and could use paint otherwise the paint is in good shape for a 25 + year old car. Interior: When I purchased the car it had seats that were in poor shape and carpet that had seen too much sun so I had to replace them. I found seats that were recovered re padded and had rebuilt motors. The carpet was taken from the same donor car and while it is not new it is in better shape then the old carpet. The interior is taken care of and I will supply an extra set of door panels as well I did not do them because the door panels are still in good shape but I wanted a set anyway. Driveline: The motor starts every time with no issue with only 82000 miles. The car when I got it had a old set of headers that had to go along with holes in the front and year y pipes with I have replaced the mufflers were done by last owner. The auto trans shifts like new with no problems even in the cold. BUT the car will need a good tune up and THE CAR HAS A LIFTER TIC in the rear passenger side cylinder. Otherwise Id daily drive if I could. Electronics: As most of you know the dash boards in these cars almost never work until they are rebuilt which this one has been and works like a charm has not let me down yet. The radio works most of the time but does go in and out( id have it redone). The digi climate control works well and the AC and heat work well. Lights go up and down with no problems and the turn signals work ( lever needs to be tightened). Problems: While this car is in good shape it still needs some paint work. Id suggest plugs and wires and tighten up the header bolts and have the lifter tic looked into I was told by my local mechanic that it could be as simple as a lose bolt or a set of lifters. These are the Items I know need attention but the car is so close to being done it won't take much to bring it there. So why is he selling the car that he spent 9000 on and spent 2 years looking for, well I just don't use it enough and I don't have the time to finish it. I hope it will find a new home with someone who can enjoy it and drive it like it should be driven. Terms of this sale: -This car is sold AS-IS were is and no warranty will be given this car is 25+ years old and shows it and will need work so please do not expect a perfect car look elsewhere. -A $200 NON-Refundable deposit is due 24 hours after auctions end and the balance must be paid in CASH only. -Please remember if you bid you buy the car please do not bid if you do not have the funds in hand to buy the car. |

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network
Wed, Jan 14 2015Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News.

Nissan Leaf sells 3,186 in best month ever as Chevy moves 2,511 Volts
Wed, Sep 3 2014The end of summer seems to inspire people to go out and buy a lot of plug-in vehicles. Last year, for example, the Chevy Volt had its best month ever in August, with 3,351 sales. This year, the Nissan Leaf is going up to the winner's podium, setting its own best-ever record with 3,186 units sold. This beats the Leaf's previous record by 69 vehicles. This beats the Leaf's previous record of 3,117 set in May 2014 by 69 vehicles and is up 31.7 percent from August 2013. Nissan is once again quick to remind us that the popular EV's record sales streak has now been extended to 18 months in a row. This record is simply noting that the current month, in this case August, had the highest sales that that month has ever seen in the US. Over all, US Leaf sales are up 34.1 percent so far this year. In a prepared statement, Nissan's director of Leaf sales and infrastructure, Brendan Jones, said that the Leaf is selling well on both coasts, including cities like Raleigh, Boston and Washington, DC. "It's what we call the 'cul-de-sac phenomenon,' where once someone in a community buys a Leaf, then friends, family, co-workers and neighbors see the benefits of this fun-to-drive electric vehicle firsthand and are sold on the idea of going electric," he said. The Volt also had a good month - its best of 2014 by almost 500 sales – but the 2,511 Volt sales still represent a drop of 25.1 percent from the excellent sales the Volt had this time last year. In fact, August 2014 represents the Volt's best sales month since, well, August 2013. Apparently, there's just something about the end of summer. As always, we are working on our in-depth round-up of green car sales across the country and will have that up soon.
GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]
Mon, Oct 19 2015UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.
