100% Original Show Room Condition. True Survivor! on 2040-cars
Elgin, Illinois, United States
You won't find a cleaner Chevelle that is a true
original. Nearly everything on this car is from factory 1972 and in flawless
original 32,000 miles condition. The few changes to the car are considered bolt
on conversions and I have all necessary parts to convert this car back to original factory specs. I also have the original restricto plate from the factory which is very rare and adds additional value to the car. I have added a Flowmaster dual exhaust from the factory
manifolds back, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's with less than 3000 miles on them. In
2009 I added brand new all steel chromed period correct Chevrolet Rally wheels
with full metal center caps. Wheels alone were $2400 new for the set due to the
“Chevrolet Motor Division” logo etched on the steel center caps which is OEM
1972 Chevrolet spec. The original owner replaced the AM radio with an AM/FM
tape deck and added two rear speakers. I do have the original working AM radio,
factory rear speaker and a new rear deck shelf if you wanted the interior back
to 100% original. This car came new with steel wheels and hub caps and I have
the original hub caps to go with the car as well. This is a 350 Malibu package with an unmolested and never
painted 350 V8 2 barrel carb and even the air cleaner decal is original. Runs
like brand new with only 32,000 original miles and doesn’t burn or leak any oil
at all even during heavy acceleration. I did remove and re-paint the valve
covers in 2009. I also replaced the radiator in 2008 and found another factory
radiator for this car still in the original box from 1972. Everything in the
engine compartment is as clean as the day the car was made and has the original
hood insulation. The TH 350 transmission shifts flawlessly. I had a
classic car mechanic in my area give the car a complete bumper to bumper
diagnostic and everything was in perfect order. This car has no oil pan, Trans,
rear main seal leaks or differential leaks. Undercarriage was seal coated from the dealer and is not
pealing. There is no rusting on the frame, suspension or gas tank and straps. The interior is a standard bench seat automatic. No rips,
no tears, carpet looks brand new and not frayed anywhere. Not a crack or bubble
anywhere on the dash board and none of the plastic molding on the dash display
is chipped, damaged or faded in any way. Floor mats are factory original to
match the interior and look brand new. I can supply additional interior
pictures upon request. The pictures don't give the condition of the body and
chrome justice. Paint and chrome are both 100% original with no dents,
scratches, discoloration, and cracking or rust anywhere on or under the paint.
The chrome all around the car has no pitting, pealing or rust. These cars were
painted by hand in 1972 and there is a tiny factory paint overrun on the front
fender which is only noticeable if you are told where to look. The original
owner wanted a Heavy Chevy but couldn't afford the up charge so decided to have
the signature stripe added before taking delivery. Stripe decal shows very
little cracking and is very intact. From new this car has been garage kept during winter
months and has been very well taken care of since production 42 years ago. The
oil has been changed every year in the fall and has been properly conditioned
for climate controlled storage conditions year round. I also have a felt car
cover included in the sale of this vehicle. On Jun-27-14 at 14:00:15 PDT, seller added the following information: You won't find a cleaner Chevelle that is a true original.

Fingers point to dragged-out NHTSA investigation after second death by ARC airbag inflator
Thu, Oct 14 2021Safety advocates have increased criticism of the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after an exploding airbag inflator that's been under investigation for more than six years killed a second person. On Wednesday, NHTSA posted recall documents filed by General Motors that revealed the second death, the driver of a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV with an inflator made by Tennessee company ARC blew apart, spewing shrapnel. No details were given about where and when the death occurred. NHTSA has said that ARC Automotive of Knoxville has manufactured about 8 million inflators used nationwide in vehicles made by General Motors, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis), Kia and Hyundai. “NHTSA should have been all over this along time ago,” said Rosemary Shahan, president of California-based Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety. “There's just no denying that itÂ’s a (safety) defect.” NHTSA, the agency charged with with keeping America's automobiles and roads safe, began investigating ARC inflators in July of 2015 after two people were injured by flying shrapnel. The investigation became more urgent in 2016, when a Canadian woman driving an older Hyundai Elantra was killed by metal airbag fragments. Public records show only a little progress on the probe. In April, the agency posted a memo in saying it was reviewing volumes of information it received from ARC. Safety advocates such as Shahan say that the dragged-out investigation is an example of the deadly consequences that can result from an understaffed and underfunded agency. The second death should not have happened, Shahan said, and vehicles with faulty ARC inflators should have been recalled faster. The agency, Shahan said, is “grossly underfunded," but it still should have sought recalls of the ARC inflators. She said historically NHTSA has taken little action during Republican administrations but has ramped up safety efforts when Democrats control the White House. Messages were left Wednesday by the Associated Press seeking comment from NHTSA and ARC. At this time, relatively few vehicles are effected. The GM recall covers only 550 Chevy Traverse SUVs from the 2013 through 2017 model years, as well as Buick Enclave SUVs from 2008 through 2017. The automaker said in a statement that the faulty front driver's airbag inflators were either installed at the factory or in replacement airbag modules.
GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification
Sun, Mar 1 2020Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.
Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
