This listing may initially appear to be the strangest way to list a car here on eBay that you have ever seen. Please read this entire description through very carefully so that you completely understand what I am attempting to do here. This listing is for a very special, exceptionally straight and damage free and reasonably solid 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 two door hardtop. The VIN number is shown in one of these photos. The first three digits of it are 138 which indicates that this car was indeed an SS or Super Sport car from the factory. I have been told that the more common 1967 Chevelle Malibu vehicles had a VIN number that started with 136 rather than 138. I believe this car came originally with a 4-speed manual transmission, bench seat, power steering and perhaps a few other factory installed options. This car is presently located at the home ranch which is 225 miles north of where I normally live and was when I started this listing. The initial photos show that the radiator, engine, clutch, transmission, rear axle, wheels, hood, windshield wipers, trunk lid, radio and several other parts are missing from this car. The original blue front bench seat is still in place. The original blue front seat upholstery is intact but is in poor condition. Both of the rear seat springs are included but were stored in the open in the trunk and have no upholstery material remaining on them. The original blue three spoke steering wheel is included and is shown in place on the steering column. Friday, January 25, I purchased some parts from a 1967 Chevelle from a wrecking yard near where I live. Those parts included a standard duty 10 bolt rear axle assembly, a standard Chevelle hood, both hood hinges with springs, a fair grille and 4 headlamps with the buckets. I have four yellow 14" wheels with fair tires and dog dish Chevrolet hubcaps that will fit this car and are included with it. On Saturday afternoon, January 26, I plan to take these parts to the home ranch east of Great Falls. I will then install the rear axle assembly and the four wheels on this car, load it on my trailer and haul it back to Bozeman where I live. I will then install the grille and hood and clean out the trunk and interior. I will then be able to take better photos that show the true condition of the front, rear and trunk floors as well as the other body panels. I will then upgrade the photos of this listing to the latest photos and lower the starting price to $1,995 so that the auction can begin. I have made this listing this way so that I can get exposure for this listing in the next few days and still be able to upgrade the photos with better photos. As soon as someone bids on an item here on eBay, the seller can no longer change or upgrade the photos on that listing. Please do not bid on this listing until I lower the starting price in a few days. I appreciate your patience while I retrieve this car from the home ranch and get my work done on this very collectible old Chevelle. This is not the only or the finest 1967 big block 1967 Chevelle Super Sport out there but it sure has a lot of potential. Not everyone can afford or even justify a nice one that costs $40,000 or more. Here is your chance to build a car the way you want it. I have reasonably secure outdoor storage in Bozeman and can store this car for a several months or more for free for the winning bidder while we arrange transportation if need be. Perhaps you are interested in making a trip to beautiful Montana this spring or summer and can pick this car up on your trip. I am happy to work with collectors from outside the USA and can arrange for shipment to an exporter on either the east coast or the west coast here in the USA. I will be applying for a Montana title on Monday and it usually takes about 3 weeks to get a clear and non-salvage Montana title for a car like this that has been neglected for many years. My cell phone is 406-799-1847 but I will be out of cell service for the later half Saturday, all of Sunday and part of Monday morning. The number for the land line at the home ranch for Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Monday morning is 406-737-4496. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn in Bozeman Montana Saturday January 25 at 10 PM : I now have the rear axle under this car and the rear wheels in place too as you can see in the first photo. The right front wheel is only setting in position in the first photo. I will be re-installing the coil springs in the front suspension Sunday so I can get the front wheels installed and upgrade more of these photos. Sunday January 26 at 11 PM : I worked all day on this car and was able to piece the front suspension together well enough to make it possible to move the car around and actually steer it with the steering wheel that is now mounted on the steering column. Both front coil springs were missing so I cut two 10-1/2" long pieces of 4" exhaust tubing and substituted them for the missing coil springs. The driver's side went together fine but the ball joint on the passenger's side had the ball pulled out of the socket. I put the ball back in the socket and tied the joint together with heavy wire. As I was later cleaning out the trunk, I found a good usable ball joint that someone removed from another car at some time. That used ball joint is included with this car. I found what appears to be a very good usable power steering gear in the trunk so I bolted it in place and hooked up the steering linkage to the pitman arm. I installed the original blue three spoke steering wheel that came with the car. A power steering pump was also in the trunk but I have no engine to install it on so it is included with this project car. Now this car rolls on it's four wheels and steers well enough to make moving it around much easier and safer. Later today, two friends and I installed the hood hinges and the regular Chevelle hood that I bought a couple of days ago. I must have been tired or half asleep when I bought that hood because it has several tiny rust holes at the top of the very front surface. The car that this hood came from was quite rusty so I should have been more careful when buying a sheet metal part like a hood. This evening I spent quite a bit of time installing the four headlamp bucket assemblies. About a third of the original very fragile plastic adjusting screw receptacles that the headlamp adjusting screws screw into were not broken so I used one on each of the headlamps. Whoever gets this project will have to buy 8 new plastic adjusting screw receptacles as well as 4 new small coil springs that hook into the headlamp buckets. A pair of good headlamp bezels were in the trunk so I tied them into place because the plastic receptacles that the two retaining screws screw into were missing. I also installed the fair original grille that I bought a couple of days ago. I found all four of the front bumper brackets so I installed the marginal front bumper using the pair of inner brackets only at this time. I cleaned out the trunk and took a couple of photos of the rusty trunk floor and added them to this listing. Trunk floors in cars like this do not normally rust out very much here in relatively dry Montana. This car probably sat with no trunk lid on it for sometime between 10 and 30 years so that is why the trunk floor has some holes in it. Tomorrow I hope to tackle cleaning up the interior so I can get some better photos of it and upgrade the photos already on this listing. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn Monday January 27 at 11 PM : I am sorry for no progress on this car today. I spent all day dealing with my elderly Aunt and her medical and estate problems. Tomorrow should be a better day for more progress on this car. Tuesday January 28 at 2 AM : Today was better than Monday. I removed the front seat, carpets and all material from the front and rear floors so that I could examine the floors carefully for rust and get photos of them for you to view. I was hoping to find at least remnants of the build sheet under the front seat but found none. The rear seat cushions had been outside for many years so the upholstery was almost all gone from them. I did find remnants of rear seat upholstery in the trunk and found the two chrome plated die-cast ornaments that go on the backrest of the rear seat so they are included in the pile of loose parts. As you can see from the four photos, the floors inside the car are in excellent condition except for two tiny rust holes. One is about 1/8" in diameter and is located under the left rear quarter window. The other is about the same size and is located on the left front area approximately under the left edge of the glove box door. Both of these holes are hard to see unless one looks very closely. I suspect that each hole has about 2 or 3 inches of weak metal around it that should be cut out and replaced. I weigh 210 pounds so I walked around inside the car and found no weak areas in the floor anywhere. I washed the dash, seat and all interior panels and installed the front seat assembly so that I could take photos of the interior. We have a winter storm on the way so I loaded the car on my trailer and hauled it back to Bozeman where I live most of the time. Thanks for your continued patience while I work more on this listing. Bob Woodburn Wednesday January 29 at 5 PM : The storm has not arrived yet so I took the best exterior photos I have of this car here in Bozeman this afternoon. I think I am done with updating photos so I am going to work a bit on this description before I lower the bid price to $1,995 and let the bidding begin.

2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*
Tue, May 6 2014Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
