Englewood, Colorado, United States

 This is a very nice 1968 Chevelle SS in the factory ash gold with black vinyl. This is a real SS car with a 138 vin code. Original options included a 350hp 396ci engine and turbo 400 transmission. Now it has a zz502 crate motor with a tremec t-56 6 speed. It runs and drives perfect, still has the air conditioning and is in great shape. Small rear main leak and small coolant leak from the intake manifold gasket. Fresh tune up. Original options included power disc brakes, power steering, door edge guards, front an rear bumper guards, outside remote control mirror vinyl roof, rally wheels, air conditioning, console, light monitoring system mounted on fenders, am radio, bucket seats, speed warning indicator, stripes on side, positraction rear axle, rear superlift shock absorbers adjustable air, special front and rear suspension, seat belts. I am the third owner. I have documentation and receipts which are really cool to have. For example I have a letter from John Smith Co. where the car was originally bought to the buyers thanking them for their business (copy), I also have a copy of the original build sheet. Feel free to contact me for more information and I will try to answer as accurately as possible. Clean title in hand. Open to trades but must have similar value. Feel free to call me at 720-333-0940 for more information or if you would like certain pictures. My reserve is set very fairly for a car that is this heavily optioned. The first owner and his wife owned the vehicle until he passed. The second owner bought the car from his wife but she wouldn't even let him drive the car. She insisted that she drives and if he likes the car that he can buy it of which I have pictures from the day he bought it. I have owned the car for about two years and it has brought great enjoyment. I even took it up over independence pass. This car has never left me stranded. Happy bidding car is located in Denver, CO and I can show it by appt.

I wanted to ad in that bidders with no feedback need to contact me prior or I will cancel their bids. This engine eats a little bit of oil which is very common in the ZZ502 platform. It is rated at 502hp and 570 torque so this thing is quite fun to drive and sounds incredible with the hooker headers. The clock doesn't function. It has a great stereo consisting of a 6 cd changer with boston acoustics speakers in the kick panels and by the rear window. I would probably get a new deck with an iPod/aux input if I was to keep the car longer. The 95k miles shown on the odo is not known if it is actual miles so I will say the miles are unknown.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.
