1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss 454 Clone Pro Touring - Professionally Built on 2040-cars

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS clone.
This is a very high end professionally built car. The car was completely torn down to the very last nut and bolt in 2009 and restored on a rotisserie. At this point, there is just over $73,000 in REAL cash money in this build. That doesn't included the cost of the car to start with. 454 that is basically a crate motor with under 10,000 miles on it. We estimate about 400 horsepower, give or take of course. MSD ignition system. Aluminum radiator. Brand new professionally built 700r4 transmission, with the additional electric lock out switch that acts as somewhat of an extra highway gear. 2300 Corvette stall converter that will allow the car to chirp the tires in three gears without even trying. The car really gets up and gets out of it's own way in a hurry...but is really well mannered on the highway. 12 bolt posi rear. Four wheel disc brakes Airpod Air Ride system all the way around, with three set positions and it is fully adjustable. The car will just about lay frame (it lays on the sway bar). See the pictures. There is well over $6,000 in just this system alone, maybe $7,000. All tubular A-arms and suspension parts. All the chrome and brightwork is new. All the lights, turn signals, etc. work. Brand new Summitomo tires with under 50 miles on them on beautiful 18" chrome 5 spoke rims. The tires were just under $1,000. The interior was all brand new at the build. If you are a taller driver, I will included a like new pair of Mercedes black electric bucket seats that the owner had in the car before. He was 6'3" tall and found that he needed the seat to be lower and go farther back. Those seats alone were $1,000 for the pair. The frame is completely boxed, and it was done by a professional chassis builder. The quality is unmatched. It was built to handle up to 1,000 horsepower. The entire bottom side of the car is painted with the same paint used on the top of the car. See the pictures: it's stunning. Headers with 3" exhaust with newer Magnaflow mufflers, and it runs all the way to the back. Dual electric fans. All billet pump and pulley system on the front of the motor. There IS an AC pump, but the car does NOT have AC. However, the shop that built the car will install it for you for $2,000, and my husband will facilitate that work for the buyer if he so chooses before the car is picked up. Dual electric fans. Even in the hot 90+ degree Florida summer days, the car never ever gets hot. Power steering. Power brakes. New CD stereo with remote. Unit is mounted and hidden in the glove box. Engine compartment is painted just like the top of the car as well. Stunning. See the pictures. Electric fuel pump. Car starts right up every time. Trunk mounted Red Top battery AND an manual power shut off in trunk as well. See the pictures. Runs on pump gas. Lots of new glass at build. At night, it's hard to tell there is glass. It's THAT clear. Paintwork was done by probably the best painter in all of South Florida. It is a late model Mercedes silver with a late model Mazda (I think) electric blue. The pinstripes between the two colors are tape, thus easily changed if the owner wants to. Doors open and close like a new car. So does the trunk. Car is rust free and excellent. Includes a custom made $200 California cover. Car is stored indoors right next to grandpas mini-van. ...and the list goes on and on and on. Known issues with car: 1) Speedometer does not work since the 700r4 trans install and we have not looked into why 2) Dash clock does not work. 3) The aftermarket horn could be louder. There may be and adjustment for that. 4) There is a tiny tiny bit of paint bubbling at the very rear corner of the passenger door. I saw it for the first time yesterday when it was up on a lift and I could see under the lip eye-to-eye. If I didn't mention, you would probably never see it. 5) Headers are a little banged up on the bottom due to forgetting to raise the air ride system up from the lowest setting before moving the car. This is a high-end, no excuses, pro touring car that you could easily fly in and drive home without worry. We are 20 minutes from RSW International Airport, and someone will pick you up if you would like to do that. If you are an out of state or out of the country buyer, I encourage you to come see it OR hire an inspector to look the car over if need be. There is nothing to hide, and we have no problem with a qualified professional inspection. If you need a recommendation, let me know and we will get you one. My husband has experience with transport and international exporting, and he would be happy to help with those details if the buyer needs (at buyers expense, of course). I do not own this car. I am just listing it for the owners. If you have any other questions, just email me your question and/or phone number and I will have them call you back with the answers. Paypal will NOT be accepted for this transaction. CASH or wire transfer is preferred. Here is a short video of the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOXEy84kWGw |

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General 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.
Chevy EN-V 2.0 coming to Tianjin Eco-City in China
Fri, Jun 20 2014Chevrolet is bringing its EN-V 2.0 to the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China to show off the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" and demonstrate sustainable urban mobility. The small, two-seat EV concept is an updated version of the original EN-V, a vision of getting around in a future world where space is at a premium and clean air is a priority. So what better place to showcase the evolved EN-V than at the Tianjin Eco-City? The Eco-City is being developed as a planned urban space with eco-consciousness built in. The joint venture between China and Singapore offers an alternative to country living and smog-filled cities. Tianjin Eco-City, slated to be completed by 2020, will be able to offer 350,000 inhabitants clean air and water, renewable energy, green transportation and living spaces and, if all goes as planned, jobs for 50 percent of the residents. Currently, only about three square kilometers of the planned 30 square kilometers have been built, with only about 6,000 permanent residents, but there's still time. The EN-V 2.0, as the "Networked" part of its name suggests, not only features mobile internet, but can communicate with other cars around it. Along with GPS and built-in sensors, this connection between vehicles allows the car to drive autonomously (at least in theory - again, there's still time). This is ideal in an urban environment where congestion can be a major issue. The EN-V 2.0 improves upon the original concept with climate control, storage space and all-weather capability, which also make life more bearable and daily commuting possible. We first saw renderings of the updated vehicle in 2012. The Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 will be used in the Eco-City's National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park of the course of the two-week demonstration. Read on below for more in the press release from GM. GM to Demonstrate Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 in Tianjin Eco-City SHANGHAI – General Motors today announced that it will begin demonstrating the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 (Electric Networked-Vehicle) in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City this week, signaling the company's learning and progress in sustainable urban mobility. The demonstration will help GM further understand consumers' usage of low-speed transportation tools for their daily commute. During the two-week demonstration period, the EN-V 2.0s will be used in the National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park inside the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.
Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
