The rest:
This car was built to be an efficient, powerful, reliable daily driver that you could beat up on the strip for fun.  I built this car in 2008 and been driving it ever since.  I’ve put over 35K miles on this combo since then.  Its current combo has ran a best of 11.26@118MPH with a 1.59 60’.  The tune I run on it makes approx. 600hp at the crank (475RWHP) and about 1000ft lbs of torque.  This is the same tune I run every day, to and from work, to and from my kids school, softball practice……… anywhere.  It’s also the same tune we ran the 11.26 on………….  Just change the tires and it’s on.  This is a proven street car, daily driver, race car, commuter car, attention getter………….  Anything you can imagine, this car has it.  It gets 30+ miles to the gallon with this same tune up, if you even breathe on the throttle it will light up the rear tires.  This is a clean tune 475RWHP (no smoke!!!) has been chassis dynoed, mid 11’s, 30+MPG commuter muscle car that you can drive anywhere you want and get fuel at any fuel station in the world.  There is nothing like this on the planet.  Only a few have been able to accomplish this feat, literally only 3 that I know of with a Chevelle, but none perform this well on the strip.
This car has been in Diesel Power, Diesel World and Chevy Hi-Performance Magazines multiple times.  It’s had multiple online articles in Chevy Hardcore, Diesel World and Powerblock.  It’s currently on the Hughes Performance Webpage and has hundreds of thousands (100k+) of hits on YouTube, key words duramax chevelle, diesel chevelle, diesel car, triple threat racing.  This is the car featured on Facebook Triple Threat Duramax chevelle.
Folks I love this car, it’s part of my family.  My kids love this car, my wife tolerates this car, lol and I am the Diesel Chevelle man.  But life has a way of making changes for you.  It’s time to make some big changes and selling this car is the first step in making some big dreams come true. 
Good luck happy bidding and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
My name is Rick and the car is located in Northern Ca.  Shipping is negotiable.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.
