Just in time for Dads and Grads is this beautiful 1987 Chevrolet Corvette. This is an absolute cream puff and has 28,2XX original miles. It is a Tuned Port Injection 350 cubic inch V8 engine with an automatic transmission with overdrive. The car is in excellent condition and has been garage kept since new. It is gunmetal gray/silver with dark grey leather interior.
I am the third owner and have all of the records from the second owner dating back to 2003. The second and third owners of this car were mechanics who pampered the car and never abused it. It has a new MAF sensor, MAF relay, intake manifold gaskets, and oil pressure sending unit. No trouble codes and runs perfect. The interior is clean (door panels,dash pad,carpet are in great condition). It has a removable painted top and a glass top included for those nice summer days ahead. All features work as they were originall designed and manufactured. Teh car passed VA state inspection in 2011 prior to being registered as an antique in 2012.
Factory installed features include cruise control, power windows, power locks, power antenna, power seats, tilt wheel, power brakes, power antenna, and power steering. Factory wheels in excellent condition. Has 4 new Yokohama tires on the car, new battery, and new exhaust with mufflers. A/C recharged with R134a and blows cold. Truly a nice car and a turn key. Have clear and free Virginia state title in hand.
This car needs nothing, but there are a few cosmetic issues that should be pointed out. The left front removable fender (that covers the battery) has a scratch in it as shown in the photos. It is minor and very difficult to see. On the interior, the carpet on the door panels is coming unglued on the driver door from age and the headliner on the painted hard top is sagging. The left display on teh instrument cluster is slighter dimmer than the right, and the radio tends to "drift" from station to station when the weather is cold. These are all very minor issues, but I want to nit-pick the car so there will be NO disappointments.
This vehicle is being sold as-is and where is. Cash only sale on pick up. The winning bidder will be responsible for shipping and pick-up. For interested parties that are not in the DC Metro area, fly into Dulles or Washington National Airport. I will pick you up and you can drive the car home.
Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Placing a bid means you intend to follow through. Please do not waste my time or yours.
Additional photos can be provided on request. Please note this vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thank you for looking and good luck!

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
