CONTACT JEFF AT 570-977-0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a gorgeous 1978 Chevelle 2-door sedan that has been transformed into an extremely fast, beautiful street machine, with a late sixties, early seventies theme. This is originally a North Carolina southern car. The smooth as glass candy apple red paint looks a foot deep. A cowl hood with ghost SS stripes compliments the beautiful paint work. The black interior is perfect and is equipped with the factory tilt wheel. That is about the only luxury or comfort item you will find here. This car was built with two things in mind. Looking good and going FAST !!! If you want a car that drives like your BMW or Lexus then this isn't the car for you ! If you want a serious real car guy's car that will literally tear up the streets and blow the doors off the competition, then this is the car for you ! The engine is a 1977 Chevy 454 cubic inch big block that is fresh and has been built for street use. Cylinder heads are oval port open chamber style with 2.06 valves and 7/16 push rods and guide plates. The cam, lifters, and valve springs are all supplied by Lunati. The cam lift is .544 and duration is 292 degrees. The cylinder heads are attached with 20 thousandths steel head gaskets which assist in bringing the compression to 9.9:1 according to the dyno. Block has been bored .10 over. A double roller timing set is installed. The fuel is supplied by electric fuel pumps feeding a 3310 Holley 750 CFM carburetor mounted to an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. Spark is provided by a MSD HEI ignition with an ACCEL coil. Distributor springs were replaced with light units. A high torque gear reduction starter with a heat shield handles the starting chores. Cooling is handled by a new 4-core heavy duty aluminum radiator with an electric fan. Exhaust exits through Hooker headers and a complete new 3 inch "Pypes" exhaust system with an X-pipe crossover and Flowmaster mufflers. This car sounds fantastic ! The power transfer to the differential is handled by a Muncie M-21 four speed transmission that is rebuilt. Clutch and pressure plate are new. 4-Speed shifter is also brand new. The driveshaft is a custom made oversize unit with large U-joints. The rearend is a 12-bolt Positraction unit from a 1970 Chevelle with 3.73 gears. Rear air bags aid in suspension and allow for an adjustable rear ride height. There is also AC Delco shocks in the rear and heavy duty adjustable four link bars off either side of the top of the differential. BFG tires in the front are 215/70R15. The tires are cheater slicks in the rear. BF Goodrich Comp T/A Drag Radials 275/60R15. Early style rally wheels add to the late 60's early 70's theme. Careful calculation was employed to insure the wide rear tires fit inside the wheel wells. This car looks and sits right. This car runs and drives like an earlier vintage Chevelle. The difference is that it's faster due to it's lighter curb weight, and it costs half as much ! It was built with a racing theme and was even lightened with the addition of a fiberglass hood and deletion of the heater, wipers and wiper motor, and radio. A custom dash is outfitted with a full compliment of phantom gauges including a recall tachometer and fuel pressure gauge. Racing seat belts have also been added. The racing theme continues into the trunk with the addition of an aluminum heavy duty fuel cell and trunk mounted battery. Since this car is a fresh build of a car that originated and spent most of it's life in North Carolina it is a rust free car. Underside photos reveal frame and floors are restored and painted. This car has very few miles on it since it's completion. I don't know how it would do at the drag strip, but I will say it hooks up extremely well and will hold you back in the seat. This is a show quality car that would be a compliment to any collection and would be a hit at the car shows ! Since the build and restoration were performed by the previous owner, my summary of this car is based soley on a complete physical inspection and conversation with him. If any prospective buyer has any doubts about this car's condition or integrity, I welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment only. I have in hand a clean Pennsylvania title ready for transfer to the new owner. This car is being sold in AS-IS condition with no actual or implied warranty or guarantee. Please take the time to look at all the photos. I have even put this car up on a lift to photo the undercarriage to show the solid integrity of the car. This car's buy it now price is less than what the build and restoration would cost.

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
Want a V8 on the cheap? Buy a work truck
Thu, Aug 3 2017In case you didn't notice, V8 cars have gotten pretty expensive. If you want a modern muscle car like the Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT, or Chevy Camaro SS, you'll need between $34,000 and $38,000 for a stripped out example of one. The cheapest of those is the Challenger, and the priciest is the Camaro. These are also the cheapest V8 cars the companies offer. But if you absolutely have to have a V8 for less, there is an option, work trucks. As it turns out, all of the Big Three offer their most basic work trucks with V8s. And because they're so basic, they're pretty affordable, especially when sticking with the standard two-wheel drive. A Ram 1500 Tradesman with a V8 can be had for as little as $29,840, which is a little more than $4,000 less than a Challenger R/T. For a bit more at $30,275, you can have a Chevy Silverado W/T, almost $8,000 less than a Camaro SS. The most expensive is the V8 Ford F-150 starts at a starting price of $30,670, which is a bit over $5,000 less than the Mustang. Of course you'll be in an ultra bare bones vehicle with few comforts, and the price will go up if you add stuff, but we're bargain hunting here, and sacrifices are sometimes necessary. Besides, what you lose in comfort, you gain in loads of cargo space and towing (try to look at the bright side). Also, as a side note, all three trucks are available with optional electronic locking rear differentials. At the discounted price of these trucks, you still get a heaping helping of power. The most potent of the trio is the Ram 1500 Tradesman with 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque generated by a 5.7-liter V8. Compared with the Challenger R/T, the Ram is up by 20 horsepower and they're tied for torque. The value proposition is even more stark between the two vehicles when looking at the price per horsepower. Each pony in the Ram costs $75.54, while the Challenger charges you $90.91. The Challenger is also more expensive per horsepower than its close competitors. The F-150's 5.0-liter V8 is just barely behind the Ram with 395 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. That's still more power than the Challenger, and it matches the torque of the 2017 Mustang GT. On the down side, it still would be down 20 horsepower on that same 2017 Mustang, and it's behind by 60 horsepower and 20 pound-feet on the new 2018 Mustang GT. The F-150 also just edges out the Mustang in the dollar per horsepower measure.
