Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to check out my car!! I will be sad to see the SS go, but I am looking to get some cash put together for a business I am starting up. I purchased this car from a nice fellow in Ohio in April of 2010. I grew up hearing stories of the car my father had, it happened to be exactly like this one!! He also ended up selling it for the same reason I am selling mine, I guess history repeats itself after all. When I bought the car it's odometer read 65,610 miles, I haven't even put 4,000 miles on this car since I owned it. The longest trip it made was coming back from Ohio, that was fun!! Restoring cars was this guys passion, and he spared no expense on this Super Sport. He purchased the car in 1999, restored it from 2001 to 2003, going over everything in the process. I bought the car in the condition shown in the pictures. He took the stereo system out when he sold it, I put one back in it, and added a wooden steering wheel, that's all!!
Here is the nitty gritty on the car:
- Paint - 2003 GM Cadillac "White Diamond"
- Interior - black, restored to Original GM Specs
- Dual electric cooling fans
- 9.5:1 compression ratio
- Muncie M-22 "Rock Crusher" 4 speed (rebuilt)
- 396 V-8 naturally aspirated ( rebuilt)
- Hurst competition plus shifter
- Chevy 12 bolt posi rear end 3.08.1
- Stock ride height
- Stock GM suspension
- Original drum brakes restored (work great too!!)
- Hedman ceramic coated headers
- custom dual exhaust w/ chrome tips
- Flow-Master mufflers
- BF Goodrich Traction T/A Tires (225-55 R17)
- American Torque Thrust II Wheels
I have all the receipts for the work done to the car since 2001 when the restoration began, it is quite thick!!
Well, hopefully you have made it this far! Here is the full disclosure on the car.
- Despite being a newly rebuilt engine, it does use oil (as everyone runs away from this listing). I bought the car knowing this (see it can be done). The amount of oil is uses has never changed since I purchased it, I am too nervous to have it worked on because the car runs amazingly well, and I fear that it would never run the same if someone was to touch it.
- Some person (ok, lets say asshole) managed to run into the corner of my car. I did not ever find out who it was, actually happened when the car was in a parking lot, at a car show for that matter. There was no body damage, but it did take a piece out of my paint job. I will provide a picture, even though I hate looking at it. The paint on the car is amazing, such a classy looking paint job.
- This car does not have a heater core in it, I never take it out in the snow or cold, so it hasn't bothered me : )
- Other than the above stuff, it leaks a drop of oil or two when sitting for extended periods of time, the engine, transmission and under body are amazingly clean.
Please, please, please contact me with any questions. I am accepting cash only on this sale. The car was appraised in 2006 for $47,000. I purchased this car for $38,000, I would definitely like to be in between that range when I sell it, need all the help I can get. If you are going to have this car shipped, you will have to set everything up, however, if you choose to come pick it up yourself, and you are not local, I would be happy to pick you up at the airport in Denver!!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too
Wed, Jul 23 2014The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.
