This 1972 Chevelle wagon is Very Clean and Nice. A very thorough resto-mod was done a few years ago including the Super Sport style trim and big block hood. The hard to find tilt steering, roof rack and rear window air deflector were added options.

The wagon has cold air conditioning that is converted to a 134a system.

New tires are mounted on the Corvette Rally wheels. The receiver type hitch was installed to tow a boat to the lake for family fun. An additional right side gas tank was also added where the spare tire well is. The spare is now under the floor in the rear storage compartment.

The 2-way tailgate works great and of course the rear power window works fine.

Nearly all the weather strips, window seals and channels were replaced when the car was repainted. For all you Numbers-Guys, the paint code is 26 I think the color is called Mulsanne Blue.

Great car to drive. Impeccable care and maintenance has been given. Look Very close at ALL photos. This is an above average Chevelle, ready to enjoy!

The level of quality here makes you wonder why would anyone buy a “new-car” when they have no personality and no resale value. These great cars that were made up to 1972 had style, dependability and value. This an investment quality Chevelle.

The "book numbers" suggest where the price would be for an average car of this make and model. Since this one is certainly above average, take a look at the numbers and I think you get an idea where the value of this Chevelle should be.

NOTE: I did not enter the odometer reading. I could do this, but I don't even know for sure if it is an original speedometer or not. Seems to me that if I have not had a car since new and have no original documentation that it is correct, I should not post whatever it says, so I don't.

My reserve is very reasonable for what you are getting here. 

I have MANY photos I can share for bidders. Including chassis, floors, rockers, bottom of doors, any areas I can reach with a camera, I can send a photo.

ALSO Included is a custom-made fitted matching color water replant cover. Yes, I have a road test video as well. I am not sure how to include a link here.

Good Luck Bidding!

Thanks for all the questions. Hope a few more details help!

The front suspension and steering has been rebuilt, new bushings, springs, ball joints and shocks. New center link, tie rods and idler arm. Heavy duty sway bar on front with new links and bushings, yes it also has a rear swap bar. The rear end is the LARGE GM 8-bolt. I have MANY photos of the chassis and enough details so you can see original sheet-metal under there that still has the original blue paint visible to show it is authentic.

Many more photos can be sent but I am not sure if I can attach them to the reply. Let me know if you want more info or pictures. Happy to send it all.

The intake is an Edelbrock with a Holly spread-bore vacuum secondary electric choke carb.

Reserve is at the upper end for an original car if you look at price guides, that is where we are with this one- This nice, hard to find. There was one that sold the other side of 20 grand. I think I need to be right in that area. Already turned away a couple of real solid offers. You need to reach a little deeper to make it happen.

Thank You for all the interest and I hope my replies to every email has helped.

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line

Thu, Feb 9 2017

While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.

2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 13 2016

AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
