To start, this is a very rare V54 Option Corvette, only about 2,000 v54's were made and an estimated 150 exist now! The v54 components can be found selling for around $3,000.00 alone! Anyway this car is pristine! It's show quality! Within the last year it had a frame off restoration and a show-car paint job completed at the renown Stingray Shop in Marblehead Ma. This car really moves! With all the work done on it, you tap the pedal and your pushed deep back into your seat! It has 27,000 original documented miles, and clearly has been babied its entire life as seen in the interior. The interior is totally original, leather is perfect, carpets great (original corvette floor mats) Steering wheel is superb, everything works, and it's loaded! It has power locks, power windows, heat (which is hot), a/c (which is cold), power seats, and even a rear-defroster! It has perfect original glass T-tops, all seals are tight. The "floppy-lights" work perfectly and may be one of my favorite parts of the car! Everything is matching numbers of course, and the parts that have been replaced within the last year are... distributer and cap, alternator, starter, battery, horn, carburetor, and computer (which was custom made as they don't make good ones anymore). I have receipts from the last two years for over $15,000.00 which I would be happy to show any potential buyer. The paint job on this car is pristine, a lot of people say the paint on their car is perfect and then there are scratches and blemishes to be found... but this car had a show-car paint job just completed 3 months ago, you will not find a single imperfection... anywhere! The custom exhaust is adjustable for volume and performance, and Gas isn't even that bad on it, I typically get around 17-20 mpg. I am not happy to let this car go and definitely my favorite car in the world, but I'm moving across the country and won't have the space for it :( Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
