listing this for a friend who doesn't do computers. he traded a piece of property for the car to get it for his wife, but since these cars in their original state are not known for their steering/braking/handling abilities she never really drove it. guess when they first got it she backed it into her other car as the brakes needed work. made a dent around the bottom area of the drivers side tail light. the only dent in an otherwise beautiful 55. original miles and I believe he said he is the 3rd owner. 235 six cylinder 3 on the tree manual transmission with pull out overdrive. motor runs like the day it was new. I have built and owned a lot of these cars and this one is in just unbelievable condition. came from the high desert in the bend, oregon area and still has the dealer ID on the trunk deck. tires look like new and he was told it is only the 2nd set of tires it has ever had. looks as though the vinyl part of the upholstery was redone but the cloth inserts look original. the front carpet is original with a small wear spot near the sill plate on the passenger side. rear carpet looks new. tiny bit of sun cracking on the driver side interior door panel where you pull the door closed. these are the only minor flaws on an almost new looking 55. he told me EVERYTHING works with the exception of the fuel gauge. all interior lights came on when I had the doors open. glove box light comes on when you open the glove box. if you like AM he says the radio plays good. with very little effort this car could easily be a 10. I looked this car over from top to bottom, took all the pictures, and the few things at the beginning of this description are the only things I could find. all the glass and exterior trim looks perfect as does all the stainless interior trim. cowl tag info: style no 55-1031037D body no 0 1904 trim no 519 10 paint no 614S top acc ez. the owner of the vehicle states he will trade it for a 160? series excavator. he does a lot of that kind of work and is only parting with the car to make a down payment on a new excavator. please don't wast my time with any 10 thousand dollar offers. we listed it on a fixed format so everyone knows this guy is not some joker having his buddies run up the bids like happens with a bunch of these auction style sales. whoever gets this car will definitely NOT be disappointed or have buyers remorse in any way. Its summer in the beautiful NW. fly out and drive it home! I took well over a hundred pictures and many close-ups with my digital SLR. apparently ebay now believes that all those extra pictures will not help you make a better buying decision, so if you are serious about this vehicle please feel free to email me for the link. thanks for looking!

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
