You are bidding on a blue, 2008, Chevrolet Cobalt, Special Edition model.  This is a very-good looking car and it performs just as well as it looks.  The car is a 2008 so it does have a couple of minor skuffs and minor dings on it, but overall it is in very, very good condition.  The car has been properly maintained on a regular basis, and any warranty work has been performed by the Chevrolet dealer at where I originally purchased the car---I am the original owner.  All maintenance has been performed to not only my high standards, but also to the State-Standards for this car was utilized in my driver education business.  This car has never been hit, nor has it ever been in any kind of accident---it is a very clean car both inside and out.  New Firestone FR-710 tires were put on the car at 89,000 miles and have a lot of tread-depth on them.  Please review the attached photographs and e-mail any questions that you have to me and I will do the best I can to accurately respond to them in a timely manner.  Should you want any additional or specific photos of the car, please e-mail me.  You can also come and see the car in-person (although I know that logistics can be an issue, so photos might be better in some cases).  Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer, however I will assist the shipper in making the car convenient to pick-up.  Again, this is a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt with 99,570 miles---so there will be the usual wear-and-tear that one would normally expect, but it is a very-clean, shiny, head-turning car, that has been kept in very, very good condition.  Thank you for viewing this listing and good luck with your bidding!

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
