Kansas City, Missouri, United States

1970 TRUE SUPER SPORT CHEVELLE! JUST COMPLETED A FULL RESTORATION LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO! ALL NEW, FRONT TO BACK, NOT A DIME SPARED! POWERED BY A FRESHLY BUILT 454/450HP MOTOR! LOADED WITH POWER STEERING, FRONT DISC BRAKES, AND IT'S ORIGINAL 12 BOLT POSI REAR END! OVER 50K INVESTED! It has taken just over a year to complete this full restoration. It has only been a week since the interior was completed and less than thirty days since the paint work was completed. Over all, the car has just about 100 miles on it since being completed. Originally, this was a 396 car. Today, it is powered by a professionally built 454 big block that is pushing over 450 horsepower. Just standing next to it, you can feel the Earth rumble below your feet. Now punch the gas and even the bravest human being will start clinching for dear life. Body: The body on this Chevelle still retains the majority of its original sheet metal. Surprisingly it did not need all of the typical sheet metal replacement. It still retains its original floors, doors, roof, rear sill, cowl, rockers, and frame rails. The sheet metal that was replaced consisted of brand new full quarters, a one piece trunk pan, and trunk drops. All of this work was done professionally. This car is completely solid, rust free, and exceptionally straight. The body was taken off of the frame and new body bushings installed. The paint work was also done professionally. It has no blemishes, cracks, bubbling, nor any other issues. Not often can this be said but the paint looks just as nice in person as it does within the photos. All of the chrome through out the Chevelle is new. The front and rear bumpers are new. The head lights and bezels are new. The majority of the stainless is new or has been refurbished. The wheel house moldings are all new. All of the weather stripping, cowl covers, door inserts, everything is brand new. The front disc brake setup is all brand new. From the booster, all the way to the end of the lines. It is all brand new. The front suspension is also new as is the rear suspension. On the rear, we used a brand new set of NOS GM air shocks. Engine & Mechanical: The 454 within this Chevelle has been completely rebuilt. It was built with a mild cam and performance heads. It has around one hundred miles on it since being completed. It does not smoke, leak, or burn an excess amount of fluid. It does run on pump gas but does require the higher octane (premium) fuel. When the body work was completed, the motor was dropped in the Chevelle so it was the second major item that was completed on this Chevelle. The 350 Turbo transmission does have a shift kit and it too was completely rebuilt. It shifts out smoothly with no problems and takes full advantage of the lower end torque. If you dump the gas, it will just sit and roast the tires. The power steering setup on this Chevelle was a remanufactured unit. The original front disc brake setup was completely disassembled and replaced with a brand new and more modern front disc brake setup. All of it is brand new. The original 12 bolt posi was also taken apart and regreased. It works flawlessly which you will see within the video located below. The exhaust is also all new. Interior: With the exception of the original Super Sport dash, gauges, and back half of the center console, every inch of the interior is brand new. The headliner, front & rear door panels, package tray, visors, console insert, door & window handles, dash pad, steering wheel, carpet, door sills, front & rear seat covers, backs, overhead light, it is all brand new. This work was also done professionally and looks excellent. When you first enter in to the Chevelle it smells like new. There are definitely plenty of 70 Chevelles out there to choose from. Unfortunately though, there are not that many fully restored ones that haven't been ran through the ringer or patched together. With our Chevelle, you can take comfort in knowing that you are getting a new car that hasn't been on the road long enough to even be considered misused nor abused. In short, there is NO AGE to this car so if you're wanting your very own newborn, you've found it. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Chevelle early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. I do have a clear title for this Chevelle. As always, good luck and happy bidding! Thanks, Shawn (816) 308-0351

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It 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.
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
