You are bidding on an immaculate and amazing 1970 Chevelle SS Pro Touring car. This car is a ground up, frame off restoration of a rust free Arizona desert car with less than 1,000 miles on the restoration. No expense has been spared and only the best materials, components and workmanship has been used. Personal attention was paid to the smallest of details when building this car. There is over $90,000 invested in this car and it has been appraised at $125k. This car is the total package of vintage look and modern technology, with enough chrome to win car shows and awards while at the same time was built to drive.
The engine is a 540 cubic inch motor built by a NASCAR engine builder who still owns track records with engines they built. This is a Dart Big M block with Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads and a Dart Hi Rise intake manifold. All forged lower end parts. The top end is a Comp Cam, Scorpion Roller Rockers, Pro Systems HP 1000 Carburetor. To fire this engine there is an MSD distributor and a 6AL MSD ignition as well. The engine dyno'd at 685 HP at 6,000 RPM and is good to 7,000 RPM easily. This bad boy generates 660 lb ft of torque as well. The engine is fronted by a polished aluminum and chrome March Performance serpentine pulley system. To let the engine breathe we installed custom Lemons 2.5" headers and affixed them to a 3" Pypes stainless steel exhaust system with Crossovers to Race Pro mufflers and polished stainless steel exhaust tips. The exhaust note and sound is awesome.
To put all that power to the rear wheels there is an automatic four speed overdrive transmission by Art Carr at California Performance Transmissions. You will recognize this name from the builds he does with Chip Foose. There is a separate transmission cooler to make sure of a long and healthy life for the transmission. The stall is 2,800 RPM. The drive shaft is an aluminum drive shaft by Denny's drive shaft and is balanced at 7,000 RPM. To transfer the power we used 1350 U joints for longevity. The rear end is a 12 bolt with 3.73 gears.
As for the exterior we started with a rust free Arizona car with all its original sheet metal and took it completely off the frame. We stripped the car down to bare metal and this car spent 26 weeks in paint at a shop that specializes in doing Concourse winning cars such as Yenko Camaros and Chevelles, as well as many other hot rods, vintage, and classic cars. Understandably the car is dead straight and the paint is amazing. The color is a modern GM color of Imperial Blue Metallic with some additional metallic and a small amount or pearls blended in as well. This paint absolutely fires brilliantly in the sun while in the dark it almost looks black. It truly must be seen in all lights to be appreciated. The paint formula is well documented in case it is ever needed for touch up or repair.
While the exterior of the car is amazing the underside must be seen to be appreciated as well. the Arizona desert was very good to this car and the undercarriage is as clean and immaculate as the day it left the factory. Pictures of the undercarriage are available on request. All new bushings were installed with the reassembly of the car.
The wheels are 17" Torque Thrust II's for that Vintage look. They are aluminum to reduce rotating mass. Rear wheels are 11" deep with 315/35/17 tires and the fronts are 9.5" deep with 275/45/17 tires. The tires are BF Goodrich G Force. We measured for proper back space and had the wheels custom machined to be as big as possible without having to tub the wheel wells at all.
The suspension was done by SC&C. The front has tubular upper A arms and tall ball joints which lowers the front by 1/2". The shocks are Alston VariShocks adjustable shocks and the coils are Global West Coils. There is a front sway bar by Global West as well. The rear suspension has fully adjustable boxed upper and lower control arms, with frame tie ins for added stability. The rear shocks are also Alston VariShocks and there is also a rear sway bar by Hotchkiss. This car has the same suspension geometry and handling characteristics as a late model 2001-2002 Camaro or Firebird, flat and stable through the back road curves and corners.
With all the go power the engine provides we had to be sure of stopping as well. The brakes are Hydra Tech hydraulically assisted power brakes with front discs that are drilled and slotted for heat dissipation, with rear drum brakes as recommended by Hydra Tech Brake technicians. The pads are Hawke ceramic brake pads.
The interior has been completely redone in Ivory and honors the stock look of the era. I have added the modern 3 point seat belts to the front seats. For comfort in the hottest months there is working factory air as well.
The sound system has a vintage appearing head with modern electronics and fits into the dash with no cutting of the dash. There is a connection for your ipod or phone so you can have all your tunes to cruise with. There are kick panel speakers installed and wired in and the wiring has all been pulled to the rear deck and trunk as well. I have an amp and a sub-woffer that I have not installed as this is the last and only thing that needs to be completed on the car.
All in all this is an amazing car that I actually built for my wife to drive to car shows while I would drive my 68 Camaro. Due to life changes we must regretfully offer this car for sale. I have around $90,000 invested in this car and it has been independently appraised at $125k. Please be respectful of all of our time and be a serious buyer of a serious car when making inquiries.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises
Wed, Oct 13 2021Insurify 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.
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt
Mon, Jan 13 2014At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012.
