1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss454 Semi Resto Mod Restored on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:370
Location:

Jacksonville, Florida, United States

Jacksonville, Florida, United States

For your consideration, a 1971 Chevelle SS454 Semi Resto Mod

The car underwent a complete frame off restoration.  Thousands of dollars and hundreds of man hours went into this 3+ year restoration.  It is a Goodguy’s show winner and has been awarded “Best in Show” and “Top 20” in numerous local car shows. Everything works as it should, to include the A/C.  Every nut and bolt, wiring, switches, bulbs, hoses, etc. are new.  The motor is a 454 that was built for drivability as well as performance.  It has a complete roller valve train with a mild roller cam that produces plenty of vacuum for brakes and A/C.

There really is too much to list but a complete photo documentation album and receipt file for the restoration is included with the sale.  Many of the components on the car have been powder coated to include the rear end and all springs. 

I will attempt to list many of the new parts that are on the car:

  • o   Stainless Steel Brake Lines
  • o   Stainless Steel Fuel Line
  • o   New Gas Tank and Sending Unit
  • o   All new wiring throughout entire car to include dash harness, front light, engine, and rear light harnesses
  • o   Rebuilt tilt steering column
  • o   New Eaton Posi unit
  • o   New Richmond 3.55 gear set
  • o   New rear drum brakes to include new drums
  • o   New front disc brakes
  • o   New master cylinder and booster
  • o   New windshield wiper motor and washer pump
  • o   New heater core
  • o   Drive shaft rebuilt and balanced
  • o   All new switches and lock sets
  • o   All new body bushings
  • o   All new Poly Graphite suspension bushings, front and rear
  • o   All new front end components to include 1 1/8 inch front sway bar
  • o   Stereo is a high-end Pioneer with remote 12 disk changer and 800 watts going to 8 speakers to include 2 Pioneer 10 inch subs

 I do not want to admit this but the car is a trailer queen.  I’ve only put 370 miles on the vehicle since completion.  It has never seen rain or a wet road, for that fact.  It has never been washed and sits in a climate controlled garage with a $400 California car cover.  Now for the shocker, the restoration was completed in 2005.  Crazy, right???!!!  It gets started and driven down the driveway and around the corner once a month.  Take a look at the pictures and ask any questions you may have.  You can also call me at 904-993-3626 for more information.  The car is available for inspection in Jacksonville, Florida.  I will assist your shipper in any way I can but shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. 

GOOD LUCK!!

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns

Wed, May 4 2016

These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
