Beautiful garage kept car, and rational seller. A rare combination! This car looks and feels every bit what you'd expect a pampered, unmodified, unmolested 34k mi Corvette convertible to be. Mechanically and visually it's a knockout. I'm a perfectionist so I won't portray it as being perfect. But this morning my neighbor said it looks like it just came off the showroom floor...so there ;-)
The paint is original, deep and glossy, and the top is original, gorgeous white. Interior looks great, with all carpeting correctly and professionally renewed. No cigarettes or odd smells. But...the speedo has a 'halo', I have the part, easy fix (see photos). The sheepskin is covering a small tear on one seat.
Mechanically the car feels like it's not even broken in. It leaks not a drop of fluid. Nor does it burn fluids. All pressures and temperatures are normal, and no warning lights are illuminated. It has been driven and maintained properly by mature owners. The 4 speed manual and overdrive operates perfectly.
I really like cars, and fell in love with this one because it looks fantastic and is incredibly fun to drive. It turns heads everywhere. But I have 4 vehicles and am thinning the herd.
I encourage questions, as well as inspection prior to bidding. There are of course a few minor niggles, but that's what weekends are for, right :-) You won't be disappointed.
Please bid to own, because as I say, I am rational and not greedy.
Cheers!

I just inspected the car and can find no evidence of paint or body repair. Body tolerances are laser- perfect. Bid with confidence, this must have been very minor indeed.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
