Up for auction, is a 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. I purchased this car three and a half years ago from Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord North Carolina. I purchased this car because as a 17 year old I bought an '87 Monte Carlo SS, and was attempting to re-live the past. Since I have owned it, I have put 500 miles on the car, hence the auction. This car has 15,000 original miles and appears to be 100% original down to the spark plugs. It runs and drives excellent and all options are in perfect working order, including the ice cold air conditioning. The only additions to the car were on it when I purchased it, which include an alarm system with remote keyless entry and Flowmaster mufflers. The tone is a few decibels above stock, not very loud at all. It has never seen winter, snow, salt, much less rain. I have not washed the car with water since owning it. There is NO rust on this car. Paint condition is 9.5 out of 10, I took 0.5 off because it could use polishing. Interior condition 9.5 out of 10, I took 0.5 off because there is a foot mark on the driver side carpet beside the gas pedal. Engine compartment is 10 out of 10 completely original. Undercarriage is 9 out of 10, as it has 15,000 miles on it. This car will not disappoint, as it is essentially a brand new car. IT NEEDS NOTHING. This car was purchased brand new at Dale Earnhardt Chev Olds and was in Alabama, Florida, Virginia and ended up in North Carolina where I bought it. This is 1 of 6052 produced in 1987 for Nascar rules, they did not produce this car in 1988 which was the final year for the G body. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. I will send specific pictures if required, by email or text. The car is appraised currently at $23,000 Cdn. It is insured for that amount at $240/year through Hagerty Insurance. You are welcome to come and inspect the car personally or call anytime. Mike 905 690 4820. I am always available, so shipping, pick up, trailering, transport will not be an issue. Buyer is responsible for ALL shipping.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

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.
