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!!! |

GM cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new
Thu, Sep 29 2016To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain
Sat, Aug 9 2014Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.
