     For Sale is my 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle two door coupe. I purchased this vehicle in December of 2004 in Georgia and drove it home to Virginia to begin the restoration process. The vehicle has SS badging and correct 1968 SS stripes but is not an original SS. I would describe this vehicle as more of a pro touring style restoration. It is first and foremost a driver but has won several awards at local car shows here in Central Virginia. The car is garage kept and has only seen rain when I got caught out in it. The car is sorted out mechanically and only needs a few minor interior and chrome pieces to be finished. I will be putting new front and rear bumpers with new mounting hardware and lenses on in the next week or so. This vehicle is not perfect but I did not restore it to be a trailer queen. I wanted something I could drive and enjoy along with showing it at local car shows. Below is a summary of the work done to the vehicle but does not cover all upgrades. I would venture to guess that you could not restore this car for what my reserve is set at.

- Dec 2004: New KYB front shocks installed

- Dec 2004: Four new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires installed

- Dec 2004: Front suspension rebuilt with Polygraphite Super Kit and new sway bar bushings (both from PST)

- Dec 2004: Prothane motor and trans mounts installed from OPG

- Feb 2005: Front disc brake conversion kit installed from OPG along with new rear sway bar

- Feb 2005: New power steering box installed

- Mar 2005: Installed new rear srings and boxed in the rear lower control arms

- Mar 2005: Installed new disc brake lines

- April 2005: New Cragar Street Pro 390 wheels mounted from Newstalgia Wheel 

- May 2005: Car was taken to bare metal and resprayed in new red paint color (call me and I will provide details as to everything that was done)

- Mar 2006: New Flowmaster exhaust system installed (complete system with H-pipe)

- April 2006: New Eaton posi traction rear installed (3.73 gears)

- April 2006: New KYB rear shocks installed

- June 2006: New big block oil pan and gasket intalled from OPG

- Oct 2006: New ceramic coated Hedman headers installed

- Jan 2007: Engine completely rebuilt (again, call me and I will provide further details)

- Mar 2007: New front light and engine harness installed

- Mar 2007: All new Autometer gauges and carbon fiber gauge panel installed (from Covans Classics)

- April 2007: New 7 inch dual brake booster installed

     There are many other smaller items that have been added to this car and I have a 1 1/2 inch thick binder with most receipts of everything done or purchased for this vehicle. Included in the sale is a spare hood, hood springs, center console, new dash switches, and a few other items that are hiding in my garage. Again, this is not a trailer queen but rather a very nicely restored 1968 Chevelle that you can get in and enjoy. I have a clear title for this vehicle and will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Call Steve at (434) 566-1455 anytime.

     This car is sold as is with no implied warranty. Shipping or pick up is the responsibility of the buyer but I will help any way I can. A $1000 deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder is due within 7 days. Cash or bank transfer is preferred. If paying by bank transfer, I will sign the title over once the funds have cleared and are in my account. I can keep the vehicle in my garage for you as you arrange pickup. Please call if you have any questions. This really is a nice car that only needs a few minor things to be finished (in my opinion). Thanks for looking.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers

Fri, Jan 1 2016

Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
