1972 Chevelle Ss 355 Ci Frame Up Restored on 2040-cars
Salem, Oregon, United States
1972 Chevelle SS 355 CI coupled to a Turbo 350 Trans. Car was born and raised in California it's entire life until I purchased the vehicle and brought the car to my home in Oregon. The car has a killer look with all that a real SS would have however, it is a very well done "Clone". Engine and transmission totally rebuilt in 2013 with less than 3000 miles since rebuild. Engine was bored out 30 over so technically the car is a 355 CI. Rebuilt engine has new rods, bearings, valves, cam lifters, springs, retainers, guides and pistons to name a few of the things that were done. Car was a frame up restoration starting in 2011 and completed in 2013. I have entered 6 shows this year and came away with 4 trophies. Car will hold it's own a against the the big blocks!
Engine: 355 CI with Hooker competition headers. The engine was recently dyno tuned runs strong and sounds great! Engine compartment highly detailed see pictures! Transmission: 350 Turbo Trans with a Trans cooler mounted on the front of the car in front of the radiator. Body: A look down the sides will show you a Lazer straight body. There are no dings, dents, rock chips or any visible signs of rust. Interior: Seats recovered front and back in vinyl, new carpet, new door panels, new headliner, new dash pad, new billet front and back window and door handles. There is a Kenwood single CD, MP-3 hook up stereo that sounds great! Suspension: New front upper and lower tubular A arms with a sway bar. Standard shocks front and back. Under-Carriage: The under- carriage is as clean as the outside of the car with no visible signs of rust. Receipts show the underneath being sand blasted then painted black. Paint: Cortez Silver believed to be sprayed in 2011, looks really nice however, it is not show quality. I would rate the paint on a scale of 1-10 a 7.5. Pin Striping professionally done by Spiderman out of Portland, Oregon. Wheels: New 20" tires on front and back mounted on new Billet rims. I prefer selling the car first and foremost however, I would consider a trade up or down for a 66, 67 Nova or a 32 or 37 Ford. If you have something to trade send me an e-mail through EBAY with details and if I am interested I will give you my e-mail address to send pictures. Please no rust buckets! I am sure there are details I left out so if you have any questions send me an e-mail with your phone number and I will get back to you ASAP. I recently had the car appraised and I have the reserve set for thousands below appraised value. This is an extremely nice car that will attract attention where ever it goes but by no means is it a 100 pt show car. Warranty: The vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty express written or implied. I encourage you to send anyone to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase you will not be disappointed. Shipping: Will be the responsibility of the buyer however, I can help with the shipping as my cousin owns a trucking company and his rates are lower than most carriers out there. His trucks are fully insured and the drivers are fully insured and bonded. I have shipped open and enclosed coast to coast without any incident what so ever through his company. Payment: A $500 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction close. A final payment for the balance to be wire transferred to my account within 3 days after deposit. Title of car will not be released until all funds have cleared my bank. Please if you don't have the funds do not bid on the car. I have had to re-list before due to non payment. Good luck bidding!!! |

General Motors and EVs: No stranger to firsts, but where's the leadership?
Tue, Apr 7 20152015 is already shaping up to be the year of "affordable, 200-mile EV" concepts. Nissan and Tesla have each been talking about them for some time, the latter promising to unveil its Model 3 at the North American International Auto Show in January before balking when the time came. Instead, Chevrolet beat them all by unveiling the Bolt concept at the same event, followed shortly thereafter with suggestions of a 2016 launch – potentially offering the first nationwide EV with anything close to that range. It was the ballsiest EV-related move General Motors has made in a quarter century. But will it remain so? Exactly 25 years before the Bolt rolled up onto the turntable, then-Chairman Roger Smith unveiled GM's last ground-up EV concept, the even-more-unfortunately-named Impact, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 1990. A few months later, he surprised most of his colleagues by announcing its intended production in honor of Earth Day. It was the first modern foray into electric vehicles for the US by any automaker, one that was rewarded by the State of California with what is now known as the Zero Emissions Vehicle mandate. The program not only forced other automakers into competing with Roger's pet project, but inspired all of them to fight it like small children against bedtime. Some years later, the drivers themselves weighed in, with a biting documentary about that obstinance and the leadership it cost both GM and the country. Within months, GM was first back into the fray of plug-in vehicles. Many criticized the company for starting with a PHEV rather than jump straight back into EVs. The choice wasn't totally out of the blue – even EV1 was meant to be followed by a PHEV. And especially on the heels of Who Killed the Electric Car?, some skittishness was understandable: even a successful EV would invite a "we told you so" public reaction, underscoring their mistake in ending the EV1 program. If a new EV didn't do well, they'd be convicted in the public eye as serial killers. All while seeking a federal bailout. For all the flak, the resulting Chevy Volt was and is a better car than GM has ever gotten credit for. But the company seemed to grow weary of having to overcome its varied past, and while the current owners remain happy, much of the stakeholder and community engagement that so effectively built early goodwill and sales growth faded not long after launch. Marketing has been spotty in both consistency and effectiveness.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application
Fri, Dec 26 2014In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.
