Chevrolet Chevelle Ss454 on 2040-cars
Beatty, Oregon, United States
My personal car... Purchased new in 1971 by a woman down the street from me when I was 10 years old. (I used to wash it for her for $.25) I bought it from her in 1981 when it had 64xxx miles. I did an exterior repaint and overhauled the original engine. The exhaust tips and a couple little pieces I bought new from my local Chevy dealer in '81. I didn't think about them being N.O.S. at the time because they were simply N.S.!! It was our daily driver until 1986 when my daughter was born. I had to sell it to pay for her. 82500 miles (I wanted to name her "Shavelle") I saw the car only once in the late 80's/early 90's at Super Chevy Sunday in Seattle where it took 1st Place out of 42 Chevelles. It had 4 careful owners who only drove it to shows or Sunday church...a total of 6500 miles in 12 years!! I was able to buy it back in '98 with just under 89000 miles. It was on consignment at a Porsche/Ferrari lot in Portland. Fast forward to now!! From new, this car has always been in a garage. So there has never been an opportunity for rust. Never hit, with original sheetmetal throughout. All pinch welds intact. It is hard to remember for sure all the details over the last 40 years, so you are welcome to inspect it. The undercarriage, under the hood, and in the truck and jams is original paint. Yes, still original paint underneath a little dirt. No rust!! One of the "sales pitches" the sales guy used when I called about it; This car has never had the shoulder harness seatbelts down. That was what I was told, and what I told the guy I sold it to. That's when I knew it was mine... Last summer I spun a bearing on the cam and when we went through the engine, I verified the numbers. It is completely numbers matching. Even the heads were built the same day. We put new bearings, rings, cam, etc, but this engine has never been bored :) Over the years I have taken a couple of minor liberties: I put on chrome original style valve covers, added a cd player in the glovebox and replaced the rear speakers, added HEI and a single wire alternator. However, I have all the original parts except the distributor. I also added an alarm with power locks, but no holes have been cut. The interior is original, but I seem to remember having the drivers seat repaired 30 years ago, not sure. It still has its original M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed and has a wonderful whine. I put in a new clutch and pressure plate while the engine was out. Original exhaust tips. California turbos (?) 373 posi rear, rebuilt at about 92k. One of the previous guys put a really tall gear in it that I just couldn't stand. Most of the pics are of the car with 17 inch KMC 502 directional wheels with Falken 275/50 series tires. I have no doubt this is one of the nicest original, unrestored 71's out there.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
