Ok I had to re-list the item as there was a glitch in Ebays system, so the main picture wasn't showing--I have been told that this is a true L78 Car--I have the #'s Matching block that will be included in the sale-It has the correct Vin stamped along with the correct Suffix Code JD and has the Hi-perf stamp on it-See the photo--I do not have a build sheet or protecto plate--what I have is the block--The car currently has a rebuilt 396-325HP motor from a 66 Chevelle in it--The original block is good and is ready to be built and has no cracks.It is a true Lemans blue car with paint code of 71B-Obviously it was a vinyl top car-The guy I got it from did not like the vinyl top--I personally love them and had planned on putting the correct vinyl top back on it--It is a 4speed car. It was a frame off resto before I purchased the car-The previous owner did the resto-I believe it to be a nut and bolt resto-It was done sometime in the last couple years-So all the chrome trim and body panels are excellent-There is one tiny chip on the car-its about the size of a pen head maybe a little bigger-I think one of my kids did it in the garage--The interior is brand new-Everything works as it should but does need the factory radio as that's the only thing missing-The cars undercarriage is very nice-Its a little dusty.The car has been just sitting in my garage under a cover-It runs fantastic-It drives down the road straight and true with no rattles or noises. It is very quiet-It has the stock manifolds and is very quiet mufflers--Close to stock I would say-It has the correct 14" SS wheels and I was told they are the original wheels that have been restored and have the correct date codes-I had it appraised and it will come with the car--It appraised at 35k without the original block-I had it done before I was able to obtain the original block for the car-The guy I purchased the car from had the original block and I thought it was included when I bought the car-long story long-he decided he had to get extra money for the block-and basically held it for ransom and I had no choice but to pay the ransom for the block-and it wasn't cheap-Yeah I know what your thinking-I got screwed !My thoughts exactly.-But I had to have the block-Its what makes the car-It proves it to be a true L78 car-But frankly who in their right mind wouldn't want the block-Its an L78!!!!! SO needless to say I gave him the money for the block and it is now INCLUDED IN THE SALE!!!!-With all that being said I am still in contact with the previous owner of the car--and he's actually a very nice guy-and loves muscle cars as much as me-He says he has lots of photos of the car during the resto and before-I have never seen them-But I will put the new owner in contact with him if you would like -he also knows more of the history of the car-I do have a standing offer on the car-Its a good offer but I really never intended on selling the car-So I figured I would try on e-bay and if it doesn't sell here I will sell it to him-We are now selling it as my wife and I have decided to install an inground pool at my house to the tune of over 50K so I need to come up with some cash-The car will be sold with NY registration in my name and is being sold as-is where is-I love the car but my kids happiness is way more important to me than my car--I have quite a few cars-mostly Corvettes-This is the nicest car out of all of them-and for me its just too nice and Im afraid to even drive it-My goal when I bought it was to rebuild that L78 motor and wrap it in plastic-its too valuable to risk blowing it up-and then someday sell it to help pay for the kids college-But like I said I know what kind of happiness that a pool will give my kids and to me that's priceless-So if your interested in purchasing a piece of Chevy history here is your chance.-And its being priced at what a 325Hp car would sell for-As it really needs to be sold to help pay for the pool!Feel free to come and inspect the car-or ask any question you may have-I will try and answer them the best I can-I had to relist this car so this is the new listing--I had a lot of e-mails on the car from some really nice and knowledable people and I have had a few haters e-mail me on the car telling me its a clone and blah blah blah--This is what I know and what I was told--I am no Chevelle expert but I am listing it with the facts I have in front of me and what I was told--You be the judge--If you don't like it --then don't bid on it and don't buy it-that simple-I love the car and think its a great car-and I think it speaks for itself--I encourage you to come and view the car and judge it for yourself--

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

General Motors and EVs: No stranger to firsts, but where's the leadership?

Tue, Apr 7 2015

2015 is already shaping up to be the year of "affordable, 200-mile EV" concepts. Nissan and Tesla have each been talking about them for some time, the latter promising to unveil its Model 3 at the North American International Auto Show in January before balking when the time came. Instead, Chevrolet beat them all by unveiling the Bolt concept at the same event, followed shortly thereafter with suggestions of a 2016 launch – potentially offering the first nationwide EV with anything close to that range. It was the ballsiest EV-related move General Motors has made in a quarter century. But will it remain so? Exactly 25 years before the Bolt rolled up onto the turntable, then-Chairman Roger Smith unveiled GM's last ground-up EV concept, the even-more-unfortunately-named Impact, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 1990. A few months later, he surprised most of his colleagues by announcing its intended production in honor of Earth Day. It was the first modern foray into electric vehicles for the US by any automaker, one that was rewarded by the State of California with what is now known as the Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate. The program not only forced other automakers into competing with Roger's pet project, but inspired all of them to fight it like small children against bedtime. Some years later, the drivers themselves weighed in, with a biting documentary about that obstinance and the leadership it cost both GM and the country. Within months, GM was first back into the fray of plug-in vehicles. Many criticized the company for starting with a PHEV rather than jump straight back into EVs. The choice wasn't totally out of the blue Â– even EV1 was meant to be followed by a PHEV. And especially on the heels of Who Killed the Electric Car?, some skittishness was understandable: even a successful EV would invite a "we told you so" public reaction, underscoring their mistake in ending the EV1 program. If a new EV didn't do well, they'd be convicted in the public eye as serial killers. All while seeking a federal bailout. For all the flak, the resulting Chevy Volt was and is a better car than GM has ever gotten credit for. But the company seemed to grow weary of having to overcome its varied past, and while the current owners remain happy, much of the stakeholder and community engagement that so effectively built early goodwill and sales growth faded not long after launch. Marketing has been spotty in both consistency and effectiveness.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
