     Thanks for looking at our listing for a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport. This SS has an interesting story, it was in storage most of the last 23 years being driven only 1,500 miles during that time. Currently the odometer shows only 37,158 miles (milage may increase slightly due to test drives), and the milage is stated as actual on the title. The SS has a few options you don't see every day, it features a functioning Cowl Induction Hood, has the LS package (front and rear sway bars), In Dash Tach and Clock, and Tilt Steering Wheel. This Super Sport still has the correct original 14" Steel Rallye Wheels with White Lettered tires. This is a RARE color combination Chevelle Super Sport with white exterior and Saddle interior.

     The engine in the SS is a "non-numbers" matching engine. The numbers on the block are CE167289, which make it a Chevrolet "over the counter" replacement block. The transmission is a automatic Turbo 400, and the rear end is a 12 bolt. The mechanics of the car are good and other than needing new tires (they are weather checked from storage) could be driven anywhere. Here is what was done to the SS since being taken out of storage. The heater core was replaces along with the hoses, new exhaust gaskets, new points, plugs, and wires, and the 4 Barrel Carburetor was completely rebuilt.

     The Chevelle SS 396 has had one repaint (in laquer) and is in presentable condition, but it going to need an exterior restoration. Both rear quarters have some rust (see pics) above the wheel wells (normal to all Chevelle's) and will need patch panels. Also, there is a small spot of rust on the right front fender (see pics) where it meets the door. Underneath the doors are very good (see pic). The laquer paint is weather checking which is also normal to laquer paint. Other than that the body is in good condition for a 44 year old car. The underneath of the SS is in suprisingly good condition showing no rust in the floor pans or trunk area and still has the original GM undercoating from the fractory.

     This Super Sport has the Bucket Seat option with center console and horse shoe automatic shifter, and again the in dash tach and clock (not working). The headliner has been replaced and the rest of the interior is very presentable and depending on your standards could be used in present form.

     Here is a opportunity to purchase a RARE color and optioned Chevelle Super Sport with low milage that is in it's original unmolsted condition. Again, this SS will need at least a exterior restoration. Mechanically the car is good and the interior is good. This is NOT a Show Car, but could certainly be driven in present form and the price reflects the work the car needs.

     At CARSTORE we do our best to describe all vehicles to the best of our knowledge and have over 30 years experience and have sold over 100 classic and special interest cars, however we are not responsible for any errors or omissions. We invite you or a third party to do an inspection at our store located at 1423 South Webb Rd in Grand Island, Nebraska or call 308-380-1040.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016

Wed, Jan 27 2016

If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
