Very Nice 82 Charcoal Vette. Last Classic Shark Body, No Reserve!! on 2040-cars
Duluth, Minnesota, United States

Here is my very nice 82 Corvette for a short auction. So dont miss out. A very nice car at a No Reserve auction. The winner will like the new paint and interior. Its done very nicely. (Not a 10 footer) like so many others. The paint is the original color in base/clear coat. Lots of hand sanding and no body work. Nice straight car. Very nice and clean underneath too. I have had tons of compliments on the car. While its not a show car, it would look right at home there. It has the original crossfire fuel injected engine and it runs strong. Last summer the computer went out. I had it replaced along with new plugs, wires, dist parts and 3 new sensors. It took almost two grand in parts and labor. The exhaust is great, and not noisy. The tires are very good and the wheels are nice. Heater works great, but even though everything is in place, the A/C doesnt work. Never persued it because i only drive it with the T-Tops off. I just took it out of storage and everything is working good. Headlights open and close, power windows go up and down too. The fuel guage quit working but im sure its the sending unit. I had a new fuel pump put in and the guage only worked from half to full after that. The good thing is, the sender comes right out the top of the tank, so its an easy fix. The tires might need balancing, but im not sure. On the highway i noticed a slight shake in the steering wheel at around 62 mph. Comes and goes. I cant imagine its anything else. Or maybe it just hasnt been driven enough. It has sat for almost 9 months. Anyway, the car can be driven and enjoyed while these fixes are done over time. The interior is great and has new seat covers, new carpet and cd stereo. Door panels are nice too. I love driving this car around town and it gets lots of looks. If it doesnt sell, no biggie. I will just drive it when i can. Im giving all the details i can so there are no surprizes like I have gotten over the years with cars i bought. But please remember, even though this is a beautiful car that is fun to drive. Its 32 years young and needs some love. Bid with confidence that this is a great car at a very low starting price. Come and get it and drive it home or ship it at your expense. I will do all I can to make sure the hauler gets it loaded and on its way. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME. CAR IS LISTED LOCALLY. Thanks so much and good luck!....................By the way, sorry about the pictures. I can't turn them. I will try to up load a video if I can. Someone asked about scratches, and there are none, and no spiderweb. That was all sanded out. Body is ver smooth. The front and rear bumpers are perfect. Thanks all!!!

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
