Excellent award-winning corvette, runs and drives terrific, 78,600 miles, garaged, never driven in snow. It is Medium Blue Metallic with 4+3 standard transmission, original stock L98 motor, Z52 Sport Handling package, A/C and sport seats. I've done a lot of work on the car over the last 8 years that I've owned her including:
- New top
- new ball joints, wheel bearings and tie rod ends
- new battery (with quick disconnect)
- upgraded stereo (original stereo with Bose amplified speakers included, but need to be repaired)
- new windshield
- new KYB shocks (original bilstein's included)
- new clutch master cylinder
- newer exhaust
- wheels professionally cleaned, polished, and sealed
- rear end and transmission fluids replaced last year
- oil changed every 3,000 miles with full synthetic oil
- miscellaneous interior pieces and carpeting

Given all that, car needs:
- tires
- seat covers
- fuel injectors (I have them, just need to be installed)
- power antenna 
- bezel over gauges is cracked

 The car starts right up when engine is cold, but the fuel injectors leak a little, so car cranks for 3 seconds before it starts when engine is warm.

Paint is good from 5 feet, but has some blemishes. There is a paint bubble top right corner of hood. Hood has small amounts of road rash (unavoidable) on it, and some streaks on lower part of fender on drivers side.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
