1958 Biscayne 348 tri-power, 4 speed. This car runs, sounds, and drives excellent. It tracks straight, and stops nice. It has all the upgrades you would want in an old car. Power steering, power DISC brakes, and electric fan. The frame and floors are all SUPER solid. Frame is perfect. NO rust. The floors were replaced a few years back. It was done professionally, and correctly, including a rubberized undercoating. No cheap patch job. In fact, you'd have a hard time telling they were replaced. The body is good, but not great. Looks good at 10ft, but has it's share of flaws. It has an older paint job. Basically, it could use a nice paint job. It deserves it. Same for the chrome and trim. All there and good, but some of it would need replacing for show. Interior is excellent. Only flaw is a headliner seam split near the back. Carpet and door sill plates are brand new,and the seats and door panels are near perfect.Glass is all good. Just one small vent window is cracked. Windows go up and down nice, and everything works but the speedo and amp gauge. Motor runs VERY strong, and does NOT smoke. Starts right up, and runs very smooth. Originally a 6 cylinder. It's only running on the center carb right now, but will run on all three. The linkage does work, but isn't factory correct. The clutch is excellent, and the Saginaw 4-speed shifts through all the gears really nice and smooth. It's a pleasure to drive. Exhaust is near new without ANY leaks, and it also has a fresh tune-up. Points, plugs, wires, condensor, cap and rotor, and battery are all brand new. Car sounds awesome. The only thing it would need to be a daily driver is an emergency brake cable. Other than that, ready to be enjoyed without worries. It will leave the typical old car drip or two of oil. Original valve covers and radio included, Bottom line, this a fairly rare car, with the perfect motor-tranny combo. It's super solid, so a nice paint job would return you every penny invested. Only going up in value. Best of all, it's priced with a reasonable reserve. Any questions, feel free to ask. My name is Jim, and I can be reached at (585) 261-6547. You can email as well. Please ignore the negative feedback left recently. It was one idiot, who lost a challenge over a very minor issue. Ebay doesn't allow for removing the negative comment once it's left. No disappointments with this car. Also, I will assist with shipping any way I can.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues

Fri, Feb 27 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
