The great things about the car:


Excellent driving car, the 4+3 Doug Nash transmission shifts awesome.  Reverse engages flawlessly and overdrive kicks in on command.  Brakes and handling suspension are great,  Power leather seats are mint with no rips, tears or scuffs.  Only 55,800 miles!

The not so good things about the car:

LED dash is burnt out.  It is a $300 fix for the parts that can be bought on eBay and installed easily.  Drivers interior door skin is cracked and coming apart.  Detachable Pioneer face plate cd radio works.  It was installed by previous owner, driver passenger speaker doesn't work.  Installation of radio may have caused some wiring issues.  Horn doesn't work, AC/heat blower motor doesn't turn on and wiper fluid spray doesn't work, but wipers do.  Hood support bar to keep hood up is missing ($80 on eBay).  Small oil leak, not bad leaves spot on driveway.  Car was repainted by previous owner and is starting to flake, peel in some spots, see pics.  Could use new window / targa top seals.  Car is garaged kept, but if left outside or driven through an automatic car wash water drips in.

For the money this is a great 85 Corvette.  Runs really strong and has very low mileage.  I want to be totally upfront with the minor issues that are easy fixes.  Email me if you have any questions or would like to come look at it before bidding on it.  Car is sold as is.  Reserve is set at what I believe is a low amount for this car.  High bidder is responsible for pick up.  $250 deposit and full payment (cash) within 7 days of auction end.  Good luck bidding and thanks for looking.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
