I bought this car 4 years ago. According to the previous owner it was last driven in the late 1980s when he decided to do a body off restoration and completely disassembled the car. Over the next several years the frame was sandblasted, primed, and painted. New bushings, bearings, S.S. break and fuel lines, gas tank, ball joints, breaks, clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, etc.The original Muncie 4-speed transmission and rear end rebuilt (3:70 posi). A low mileage 454 C.I. block was installed as well. I started working on the car about 2 months ago by removing the frontend which had prior damage and very poorly repaired. A new Eckler's one piece frontend was installed.I pulled the heads to check the condition of the motor. There is no ridge on cylinder walls and internals are very clean. I had valves ground at that time. Motor runs very smooth. All the usual big block parts are in place as can be seen in pictures.

Here are some of the casting numbers and dates:

- Heads 3872702    A 14 6 and A 18 6

- Intake 3866948     A 8 6

- Water pump 3856284    L 19 5

- Alternator 100693    6 A 17

- Bell housing 3872444 

- Seat belts 3 A 66

The original color code is 984 sunfire yellow with black vinyl interior. The car has no power options and comes with everything pictured which makes it pretty complete. What I do know that is missing is 1 upper outer windshield trim, power antenna, radiator shroud, most headlight parts, and probably some small items I am not aware of.

Here are some pluses for the car. Dash pads are excellent. Seat covers are decent and could be used as is. Excellent cluster. Body lines look very good. Tires are almost new. All glass is there. I have owned about 15 C2 cars and all the laborous hard work is done which will make for an easy project. I will pack up the parts in the car and help with loading. It only rolls and steers. The car is being sold as is with no warranty. A $1,000 deposit is due within 2 days of auction's end and the balance within 7 more days or when the car is picked up or arrangements are made for shipping by the buyer. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me on my cell.

Crash victim found still inside car 6 hours after it was towed away [w/video]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Police near Dayton, OH, have quite a confusing case on their hands after the victim of a crash early on New Year's Day couldn't initially be found. Six hours later, the man was discovered lying on the vehicle's floorboard at the tow yard. The unidentified person was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition with possible leg injuries. The police first responded to the scene of the crash around 3:00 am on New Year's Day when a Chevrolet Impala hit a utility pole and drove through a fence, according to WHIO News. The authorities claim that they searched for the man for an hour and a half and came up with nothing. The car was then hauled away to the yard, which was only about 500 feet away. The tow yard worker found the man around 9:00 am and called 911. However, he was clearly dubious about the injured man's predicament and suggested to the operator that he might have returned to the Impala. Police are still investigating the incident. According to WHIO, authorities might have somehow missed the man in the sedan during the search. Alternatively, he could have left the scene of the accident and later returned. Watch the video below for more about this bizarre case. The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road

Tue, Sep 20 2022

Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands.   The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway

Mon, Nov 9 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
