After owning my dream car for over 16 years I have decided to sell my baby and find a new love. This sale is for my ridiculously clean 1987 Corvette that I purchased July 17 1997. It had 39000 miles on it then and now has 44970 on it. It has been my baby since then and I have taken care of it very well. There are numerous upgrades done to it for better performance while still being very reliable if you chose to drive it more regularly than I have. The exterior is Light Blue Metallic and is in excellent shape. The front bumper has some small nicks on it and a small chip or two. The interior is extremely clean and taken care of, the grey cloth seats are perfect and have no tears or wear through them. The door panels are in very good shape with no damage or cracks. The dash functions as it should but sometimes I feel it is not as bright as I think it should be. I have not taken apart the dash and cleaned the sensor eye to perhaps improve that. When I purchased this car in 1997 I wanted to have the fastest, cleanest C4 there was so I started to remove all unnecessary items in the car that did not help performance. I removed all wiring to the radio, speakers and theaftermarket radio that was in it and also the spare tire and carrier. I do not have these items anymore. I also removed the cruise control module that went above the battery in the engine compartment. Some of the upgrades I have done to the vehicle are: -Installed TPIS shocks, installed an open air filter housing and a smooth plastic air intake duct, installed bosch platinum +4 spark plugs and TPIS plug wires, installed TPIS long tube headers with no mufflers and just long stainless exhaust pipes. I have removed all smog equipment and have a stainless bracket kit in place of the smog pump. I installed a Tpis MINIRAM manifold which has made a BIG difference in performance. Also have installed a TPIS air foil in the throttle body. I have changed the rearend gears from 3.07 to 3.73 which was a great improvement! Also I had a B&M shift kit put in the transmission which gives it very firm shifts when shifting it manually which feels great as compared to letting it shift on its own. The car was and is one of my favorite designs ever and it will always be. But I dont drive it nearly enough as the miles attest to and with a family now perhaps a four seat sports car might be more practical. This car drives awesome and sounds amazing with the practically no exhaust on it and I would feel good driving it nearly anywhere (as long as its sunny and dry) . The car is exceptionally clean underneath and the engine compartment would compare I believe to almost anyone seen. I am crazy OCD with keeping my vehicles clean as you will see. The few negatives about the car is the A/C has never been charges since I bought it and doesnt blow any air out of the vents, not sure if the ventilation in the dash was disconnected when I removed the radio and equipment but the car is/was my sunny day baby and never really cared. I do not have the stock wheels just the aluminum ones on it that I have now. The front tires have good thread left and the back tires are BF goodrich drag radials and didnt have much to begin with new, probably have about 2000 miles on them. The power windows/locks/seats all work perfectly and the bronze clear roof has no crack but some crazing in it. The weather stripping is good except for the rear roof which if fine except for a small chunk taken out I think by the previous owner perhaps locking himself out? I replaced the fuel pump with a high flow pump when I installed the MINIRAM manifold and since then the fuel gauge is not as accurate as it should be. Not sure if I bent the arm installing it but have not tried to correct it. The only spot the carpeting is poor is in the hatch area where it has a few dry spot and doesnt look perfect.(I keep the sunshade over it now). Anyway the car will impress anyone looking to have the cleanest loudest C4 corvette around and it has low miles so its reliable and could be taken to carlisle or wherever with confidence. Please call or text me with any questions or if you would like to look at the car in its garage palace in northeast PA. I am asking 13000.00 for the car and I also have lots of paperwork, the original gastank build sheet, the two part shop manuals and a haynes manual for it. My cell number is 5706903159, Mark. Thank you very much for looking!

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
