Chevrolet Corvette Coupe on 2040-cars
Menahga, Minnesota, United States
I purchased this Corvette from a Washington state Honda dealer last year. The dealer installed new brakes and the new tires when I bought it last fall and they have no more than 200 miles on them right now. Reason is it snowed right after it was delivered and I put it in storage. Got it back out now that warmer weather has arrived. It's very clean and runs perfect. All adjustments on both Sport Seats work fine as does the cruise control, the cassette player, etc... Mileage will go up a little as I will drive it occasionally weather permitting. I've decided to get something a little easier to get in and out of. I'm a senior and should have recalled this from my '86 Corvette I had 15 years ago. There are a few minor paint blemishes. Small paint chips in the front from sand/rocks. The top of the front urethane bumper was repainted before I got it because of the clear coat separating. This is a common problem. They did not completely remove the old clear coat on the top of the bumper and if you look closely you can see it, but if you're a few feet away you won't. The paint match was good though. Some light clear coat bubbling on the edge of the Targa top. Some minor color wear on the drivers seat bolster, which can be seen in the pic's. New headliner installed due to the original sagging a bit. New sun visors with the lighted vanity mirrors also. Interior is very nice. The day I took it in to have it checked out thoroughly, the alternator started making noise. New alternator and battery installed along with all new Kicker speakers for the stereo. Stereo sounds good. It is the factory stereo with cassette. All gauges work fine too. New remote entry key fob. Corvette has the passive entry system where the car unlocks when you get close to it with the fob. It can also be disabled to use the key fob button for the doors. Clean engine compartment as you can see in the pic's. Some of these pictures were from the dealer I bought it from. This is a very nice running and looking stock Corvette you will be proud to own and the lowest priced 6-speed you will find in nice condition. Check my feedback, as I give an honest appraisal of anything I sell and welcome calls or emails for further questions. 651.470.6621, Brad. Thanks for looking. .

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
