1972 Chevelle Convertible. Two owner car. Original V-8 350(fully rebuilt by 2nd owner in 2008 who was a certified GM mechanic at RAMP Chevrolet for 30 years before passing). The only modifications were HEI ignition conversion(no more points to mess with), polished aluminum intake, and headers. The car was to be stripped and repainted after the motor rebuild was completed in 2008(started with pass fender and stopped see pic). The engine turns freely and I am confident it will run and drive fine. I was told by my mechanic not to start the car without removing the old gas....I was told by others to just start the car.......I will be cautious and NOT start the car. I do know it needs a new battery. The car has been in dry storage in the garage since to 2008 to present day. The car has a new black power top with glass rear window, the inner liner of the top is perfect and the frame skeleton is clean(may have been restored). The car has tinted windows from factory and all glass is clean. The pinch molding around the rear deck is spotless and excellent shape, the A-pillar front windshield moldings are spotless and shine as new, the convertible top bow is in mint condition with original leather wrapping intact(no rust, no bubbles..... very clean). The car has all its original panels. The floors, frame and trunk pan are original and solid(see pics).The original color combo from factory on cowl tag which reads paint code 75 cranberry red is very desirable with the black interior and top. As you can see from the pics the pass fender was taken down to metal and headlight extensions with grill were removed(assuming this was where the resto was started and stopped by the mechanic who was in the process of restoring the exterior of car before he passed). All the parts mentioned are included. The front bumper is missing. I may be able to locate it and if I do It will be included...if the widow who sold me the car cant find it you can locate one on ebay for $75 or brand new repro for $150 in mint ready to use shape(see NPD National Parts Depot). This is a nice solid car that can be used as is or finished to whatever level your wife will let you...lol. The car has never been hit. My mechanic looked over the car and had nothing bad to say. I am not asking a lot for the car.Feel free to call with offers if you are serious. Its offered for sale in my local area and I may end auction early. All are welcome to inspect car before auction end. The car is sold in used as is condition. All international bidders welcome. I will assist and store car in garage until pick up, but transport payment and planning are the buyers responsibility. I will gladly assist with shipper contact if need. I am retired Police Officer....so I have some time on my hand and glad to help if I can. If the car does not sell I will put a bumper on the car and enjoy it this summer.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.

Texas cops pull armed suspect from burning car
Fri, Jul 29 2016A high-speed chase through Fort Worth, Texas ended in dramatic fashion earlier this month when FWPD pulled armed burglary suspects from the burning wreckage of their escape vehicle. According to NBC DFW, Fort Worth police were dispatched to Avington Way on the evening of July 16 to investigate reports of a burglary. The burglary victim told police he had arrived home to find three individuals hauling his property out of his house. When he approached them, one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him and told him to stay back. Then all three suspects climbed into a silver Dodge Avenger and sped away. FWPD officers spotted the Avenger a short time later on Sycamore School Road and, after the car refused to pull over, the chase was on. Police chased the burglary suspects through the city at speeds approaching 100 mph until the Avenger blew a red light and was t-boned by an oncoming pickup at the intersection of California Parkway and James Avenue. As the pursuing officers closed in on the disabled car, it suddenly caught fire. One suspect bailed out and ran for it, but the remaining two were trapped inside with the flames quickly mounting. Despite the spreading fire and the threat of armed suspects in the vehicle, police officers rushed to pull the men from the wreck. The driver was removed easily, but the passenger was unconscious and trapped behind a crushed passenger door. The scene was caught on the officers' body cameras as they pried the door open with their bare hands. Eventually the officers got the semi-conscious man out of the passenger seat just as the car was completely engulfed in flames. "It was pretty dramatic. We recruit people that can think on the fly, think quickly, and perform under pressure," FWPD Sergeant Marc Povero told WFAA. All three suspects are facing charges for burglary, and the driver was charged with evading arrest.
