The La Grange Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale/auction:

1991 White Chevrolet S10 Pickup Truck (4.3L V-6) with 101,375 miles.

The vehicle is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: it MUST be sold in an auction-style setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with no existing warranty.  ALL sales are FINAL and NO price adjustment will be given.  This vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the starting price has been satisfied.  There is no reserve on this vehicle.

The vehicle (again) has a mileage of 101,375 miles.  The vehicle was in inside storage for approximately three (3) years during the forfeiture court process.  The vehicle was brought to and parked just outside our police department approximately 3-4 months ago.  When driven to the police department, the vehicle started right up (upon jumping it with a battery pack) and the vehicle drove fine with no signs of any mechanical problems.  Upon starting the vehicle now (jumping it with a battery pack), the vehicle started, however, stops running after a minute or two.  We STRONGLY suggest that the winning bidder tow the vehicle from our lot-we cannot guarantee the vehicle will remain running.

The vehicle is 5 speed (manual/stick shift).  The vehicle has a coated bed liner measuring approximately 7 feet by 4.5 feet and is in fair to good condition (no major cracks).  The vehicle's tires appear to be in fair to good condition.  The turn signals, headlights, and interior roof lamp are all in working order.  The vehicle has a Delco AM/FM stereo/Cd player.  The stereo is in good working order, however, we did not try the CD player.  The vehicle does not have A/C, however the fan and heat are in good working order.

Notable Minor Damage/Scratches/Dents/Imperfections/Things That Don't Work Or Need Replacement:  The vehicle's body has several rust spots:  The passenger-side (P/S) running board has rust near the bottom, the driver's-side (D/S) running board has rust near the bottom, the P/S front wheel well has rust, the rear hitch/bumper has significant rust and won't support towing weight, and there are smaller rust spots throughout the outside of the vehicle (see photographs).  The outside body also has paint chipping about the vehicle as well as minor scratches throughout.  The hood has a small dent.  There is minor crash damage to the D/S front quarter/headlight (headlight held in with wire but DOES work).  The hood of the vehicle is painted gray and the rest of the vehicle is painted white.  The D/S door does not open-there is no damage, but the mechanism will need to be repaired.  The front P/S side-marker light is cracked.  The two D/S hubcaps (plastic) have very minor cracks/damage.  The two P/S hubcaps are off, but lying in the bed of the truck.  The vehicle has cloth bucket seating, however, there are two minor tears near the driver's-side.  The P/S window crank is loose, but works.  There is no roof liner cloth material inside the vehicle. The vehicle will need a new battery and a tune up due to being in storage and not running for the past three years.

DISCLAIMER:  The vehicle (again) is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law: it MUST be sold in an auction-style setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for the vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with no existing warranty; neither express nor implied.  All sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  BUYER BEWARE:  Due to this being a seized/forfeited vehicle, we do not know a great deal about it's condition, it's history, prior damage, prior maintenance, etc.  Potential bidders are encouraged to view the vehicle in person prior to the bidding process, as there may be defects or undetected problems we are unaware of.  Potential bidders may have an independent inspection completed prior to the bidding process at their own expense.  The winning bidder is responsible for the pick up of the vehicle or making arrangements with a private shipping service at their own expense; we will NOT deliver the vehicle.  Pick up of the vehicle should be made within seven (7) days of the close of the auction.  Should you need additional time for the pick up, please contact us to make arrangements.  We have described the vehicle as completely and accurately as possible, however, we will NOT be responsible for undetected problems, incorrect specs, etc.

Should you have any questions or would like to view the vehicle in person, please contact me through eBay email, ask a question through the auction site, or telephone me at 708-579-2334 and follow the prompt. I am currently working 7:00am-3:00pm (CST). If I am unavailable at the time of your call, please leave me a voice mail and I will return your call as soon as possible. The winning bidder may pay in full upon pick up of the vehicle with either cash or a certified bank check only, at which time a Bill Of Sale and Clear Title will be provided. We also accept PayPal for payment as well. Good Luck!!!!

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
