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 takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same
Sat, Jul 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.
GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet
Mon, May 12 2014Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.
