Dayton, Nevada, United States

Here is the ultimate starter car for someone looking to build the 70 Chevelle they have always wanted.  The body is super solid and virtually rust free. What is visible in the pics is surface rust only, Nevada cars do not have rust issues like many other states. The car has been stripped down to bare metal so you can see exactly what you are getting.  I did the most crucial areas and what is left on the doors and front clip is a very thin coat of primer. There is no rust on the doors or front clip and the only dent, still covered by primer, is on the drivers front fender. The worst part of the car is the passenger side rearand the corner of the hood near the windshield.  It had bad body work but still no rust. It can easily be massaged back to near perfect condition by a competent bodyman.  There is no panel on this car that is even close to needing replacement.  The roof is also very solid as you can see NO PITTING of any kind or any back window rust.  Take a good look at the floor pans, they are really, really solid and tight, no boulder damage or whatever people seem to run over.  Again, the surface rust you see is just surface stuff that can be removed with a wire wheel, NO PITTING.  Antoher great thing about this car is it has not been over dissassembled.  What that means is for some reaon people love to take apart cars that have never doen it before and take apart the door guts and dash parts that do not need to come apart.  The doors and rear quarters inside have never been touched.  All of the window regulators, glass etc.. are in perfect shape and function perfectly, if you build cars you should really apprecitae this.  Same for the dash it is still intact and only the lower A/C plastic was removed but I  have all of it.  So back to the body, as you can see it has very solid panels, rockers, and everything that is usually rusty is not.  It was a vynial top car, which usually equals rust but take a really good look and double click the pics to blow them up to full size, no pitting and no rear window rust. Doors open and shut nice, all body gaps are really good, no inner fenders. ( I would like to build this car for someone so if you want it built I can help you get this as far as you would like.) The glass is in great shape only the rear window has some minor scrathces.  The front glass is new. The milage is oroginal 71K thats it.  I found the build sheet, but who cares it was a nothing car with a 350.  It would make a great big block clone or LS conversion car.  I have the seats and the rears were redone as shown and I do have the material to finish the fronts if you want it.  It has a tilt column that is nice and tight. Ignition keys but no door or trunk keys, trunk lock hole not butchered.  The rear end is a stock 12 bolt, open carrier no idea what the gears are but they probably suck.  Front disc brakes and tubular control arms, frame was cleaned and painted.  I have the A/C stuff but I would use the A/C delete cover or go aftermarket.  I just have the firewall A/C stuff.  The hood is an original GM Super Sport hood, not a repop so worth putting a few dollars into.  I have the front end wiring harness and all of it looks intact and useable.  The window trim is missing and what is there needs to be replaced.  The trunk is also very solid and just needs clean up with a wire wheel.  The wheels and tires are just good for rolling around I would not consider using them, the wheels are fine if you are into that look.  I have described the car to the best of my recollection but please do not assume anything! Ask any and all questions prior to bidding.  You are bidding to take this home or to own and have me build but not to hmmm and haaaa over it. Got it, great... Also this car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early so dont wait til the end of the auction, shoot me your best offer and a phone number and I will get back to you, if i don't, then reconsider your offer. The car is a roller with no brake pressure but it does steer. I f you need help with seting up transport I can help you there too. Clear open Nevada tilte in hand.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.

New Corvette Feature Keeps An Eye On Valets

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Face it. If you own a luxury or sports car, whenever you hand the keys to a valet, you imagine the car going on a high-speed joyride like the Ferrari in the 1980s cult movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Now, General Motors has an option on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette that takes those worries away. The latest version of the sports car, due out in September, has a feature that records where the car goes with a camera mounted in the windshield trim. It also captures audio in the cabin as well as speed, engine revolutions per minute, gear position and G-force. That all helps the car tattle on any valet who doesn't take a slow, direct route to a parking space. GM says it's the most extensive attempt by an automaker to thwart valet joyriders, although it's not the first. The automotive website Edmunds.com says Hyundai and Mercedes offer "geofencing," a feature that sets a perimeter and then notifies the owner's smart phone if a car goes beyond it. Chrysler has a valet mode that caps engine speed and horsepower, while Audi lets owners limit engine speed for valets. With the Corvette, once the owner activates the feature with a four-digit code, the touch screen tells the driver it's in Valet Mode. But it doesn't warn the valet that he's being recorded. The feature also locks the glove box and a storage compartment in the dashboard and shuts down the infotainment system. Valet Mode started off as a performance data recorder for those who take their Corvettes on the racetrack. GM engineers quickly figured out that it had more uses. "Think of it as a baby monitor for your car," Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles said in a statement. "Anyone who has felt apprehension about handing over their keys will appreciate the peace of mind of knowing exactly what happened while their baby was out of sight." Data and video from the valet mode can be viewed instantly by the owner on the car's 8-inch color screen when the car is parked, or it can be downloaded to a computer. The system could go into more mainstream models if feedback is good on the Corvette, GM spokesman Monte Doran said. The feature is paired with a navigation system and costs $1,795. A 2015 Corvette starts at just under $54,000. Chevrolet Technology Gadgets
