If you like muscle cars, this car will definetly get your blood flowing. This baby HAULS!!!
Very low to the ground, it handles like a Go Kart, the steering is very tight, and precise, a slight turn here and a slight turn there and it's there, there's no swaing back and forth.

Exterior and Interior of car has been freshly maticulously restored, I decided to restore it ONLY because it was a 4 speed. It runs great, nice and smooth running. I have not messed with the engine. It has always passed smog without a hitch.

Gas milage is about 19MPG

I've owned the car since 2005 and it's been ALLOT of fun, runs GREAT, very dependable.
The restoration was finished 2 years ago. It's a VERY Clean car, has NEVER been in any kind of wreck, perfectly straight and get ALLOT of looks.

I am selling it, because, I just bought a 69 Firebird project car, which I am going to restore and clone it into a 69 Trans Am, I need the money from the Vette to finish the Trans Am

This is a $3000 paint job, Color is a beautiful Chevy Marina Blue
Was painted with 3 base coats of PPG Marina Blue (Metallic), then immediately shot with 3 coats of PPG Concept 2000 Clear, after 48 hours of drying the entire car was color sanded and buffed out to give you that deep show car gloss. It is absolutely beautiful.

Minor problems with car: Cruise Control doesn't work, wouldn't cost much to get it working again, for me, with a 4 speed? Never would use it.
Trany has a minor leak that drips 1 or 2 drops onto the exhaust system, to repair the leak the tranny would have to be removed. Not that big an issue. No puddles or anything like that.
Wipers work fine, but they don't squirt water.

Has a new power antenna, but stoopped working a few months back.
Outside of that, it runs GREAT! Always passes smog without a problem.

I realize it's a HIGH milage car, but it's ALL highway miles, if you've been to California you'll know, to get anywere you have to be on a highway. You can easily put 150 miles per day on a daily driver, this was.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
