This car was sold to the original owner by Jordan Chevrolet in 1972, located, at that time, in Timmonsville, SC. The dealership is no longer in business. The original owner had bought the car while living in Darlington, SC. She passed away without heirs or a will and her entire estate went up for auction in February 2005. I went to the auction in hopes that this car would worthy of bidding on, and I was right. I bought the car at the auction as the highest bidder. I drove the car home without any problems. It showed 10K miles on the odometer, and I'm sure it had turned over one time. But, I bought the car because it was in fantastic condition, had no signs of rust or having ever been wrecked, and it was whole and all there. As soon as I got the car home, I began a 2 year restoration. Since I've owned it, I've driven it 30K miles. So, it currently shows 40K miles, which is more than likely 140K miles. I started a restoration on the car begining with the drive train and running gear. The engine was professionally rebuilt by one of the top engine building machine shops in South Carolina. The dished 8.5 compression pistons were replaced with forged flat top 9.5 pistons, the cylinders were cleaned up, and all new bearings were replaced on the bottom end. The heads were freshened up with all new stainless steel valves, new springs, and, I've installed a Competition 270 Magnum Camshaft. It idles with a nice lope and it is crisp and responsive without hesitation or stumbling. The TurboHydramatic Three speed was professionally rebuilt and a new torque converter was installed. The entire front and rear suspension was rebuilt. A new 2 1/4 inch aluminized true dual exhaust system was installed with factory style low restriction high flow mufflers and factory chrome tips. The car rides on 15X8 inch Corvette Rallys and P235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial Tires. The engine breathes through a GM Performance Parts cast iron Z/28 high rise intake and a 1970 Corvette 350 C.I. 350 HP Quardajet 4 barrel carburetor. It has a Pertronix electronic ignition unit in the factory distributor and the engine puts out a true 300 horsepower at the flywheel. The interior was redone in factory style and the carpeting was replaced. The factory installed AM radio is still in the dash and still works. All front sheet metal was replaced including new inner and outer fenders, a new domed hood, and a new trunk lid was installed. Both front and rear bumpers are new and most trim and molding has been replaced. All that is left to be done to the car should I keep it is to replace the sweep dash with an SS style dash, install a new sound system, and repair the factory air conditioning system. It is a numbers matching car and was repainted the factory color - Mojave Gold. I am selling the car because I feel I have reached the point with the money invested that I will not be able to get it back should in spend any more, and would like to take on a new investment. It rides very nicely and has won numerous awards at car shows. It gets a lot of attention and has been a joy to own. It runs on pump gas and sound very powerful. I have a true $25,000 in the car with what I paid for it and will negotiate a price close to that amount. Contact me @ 706-231-6380 to arrange viewing and bidding on the car.

GM resumes production of its 3.0-liter turbodiesel straight-six
Sat, Nov 20 2021General Motors temporarily stopped taking orders for trucks and SUVs equipped with the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel six-cylinder engine in August 2021 due to a supplier shortage. Reports claimed the pause would last through 2021, but the engine is already back in production. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned from sources inside General Motors that the straight-six is once again coming off the assembly line at the Flint Engine Plant in Flint, Michigan. There's no official word on precisely what the problem was linked to and whether it was related to the on-going chip shortage that's wreaking havoc across the automotive industry. All we know is that the pause lasted for about two weeks. Called LM2 internally, the six is available in Chevrolet's Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado 1500 and in GMC's version of these trucks. It's also an option in the Cadillac Escalade. It develops 277 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and a V8-like 460 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm in every application, and it allows these big behemoths to post surprising fuel economy numbers. Fitted to a rear-wheel-drive Tahoe, the Duramax returns 21 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in a combined cycle, figures that make it more efficient than a Blazer. Demand for the diesel-powered trucks is relatively high. While the shortage undoubtedly took a toll on sales, the Duramax represented 8% of Suburban sales and 6% of Tahoe sales in May 2021. There are no other diesel-burning full-size SUVs available new so they have the market to themselves. On the truck side, Ram still makes the EcoDiesel available on some 1500 trims but Ford abandoned the segment.

Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7.

While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
