Up for sale is a PRISTINE 1996 Corvette Grandsport Coupe 100% original as new. As a collector I have maintained the vehicle to show condition. The Corvette Grand Sport was produced in the C4 edition as the final year of production-1996. The factory made 1,000 total cars 810 coupes and 190 convertibles.
So what makes the GrandSport such a collector item?
The 96' GrandSport is a tribute to the early 1963 version, sporting the same color scheme of Admiral Blue Paint with the arctic white stripe, red hash marks on the driver side fender, but new for the '96 are the 17" Black 5 spoke aluminum wheels. The interior choices for the '96 were either black or a red/black combination with the name Grand Sport lettered onto the seats. New for '96 is the LT4 power plant made especially for the Grand Sports. Very conservatively rated at 330HP The LT4 motor was mated only to a six speed manual transmission and was a option ordered with base manual equipped corvettes that bore the Grand Sport logo atop the engine.
The RPO# for the Grand Sport Package was Z16 and added cost of $3,250 for coupes and $2,880 for the convertible. The RPO#Z16 includes:
LT4 330HP Engine
MN6 Manual Six Speed
U28 Admiral Blue Paint
U10 Arctic While Stripe
U193 Black Leather Grand Sport Interior

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla sells Model S 85 and 70D in Malaysia, Chevy Spark EV built using clean energy
Mon, May 18 2015Tesla will send Model S 70D and Model S 85 EVs to Malaysia for leasing to government-linked companies. Only those companies will have access to the models as a two-year lease, which will be imported and leased by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation. The plan is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water to allow government officials and other influential people to get to know the electric vehicles and the benefits that come along with them. Most of the 120 vehicles available will be the 70D model, and the lessee companies will have the option to purchase the cars at the end of the two years. Read more from Paul Tan's Automotive News. Wanxiang is hosting students from Delaware in China as part of a program to learn Mandarin and visit schools and science and technology sites. Wanxiang, the auto parts company that acquired Fisker (which had manufacturing based in Delaware) and battery maker A123 Systems, will give the students tours of its solar technology facilities, among other places, and see what daily life is like for families in the region. The program helps students interested in science and technology to foster marketable skills — like learning a foreign language — that will help them get jobs in industries around the world.

The e-motors building of the General Motors Baltimore Operations complex has a new rooftop solar array and uses LED and CFL lighting, helping the building recently earn LEED Silver certification. The landfill-free facility also takes advantage of the 1.23-megawatt solar array on the grounds, helping it source six percent its energy from renewable sources. The plant has reduced its energy intensity by 15.5 percent in three years, and continues to work toward reducing consumption and sourcing clean energy. "We believe reducing our environmental footprint is good for the climate and good for our business," says GM Executive Director of Global Public Policy Greg Martin.
