1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible Ss Clone Restomod on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States

This is a beautiful, smooth cruiser and runs drives and shifts as should be expected. Of the eight collector cars we owned at one point, this is the one we decided to keep. It's easy to start, drive and enjoy. On top of that, you will get 18-20 MPG from a 300+ HP classic. It has a GM Goodwrench 350 replacement engine with a mild cam for some extra giddyup. Backed up with a 700R4 automatic overdrive and I believe 2.73 rear gears. The combination results in low engine and exhaust noise on the highway if you're in the mood. Otherwise, leave it in 3rd gear and you will be hearing the pleasant tone from the custom Flowmaster exhaust, with it's thrushy sounds. It sounds like a true musclecar, just as you would expect. Heads will turn wherever you go and people will ask you to take a closer look. There are some custom touches that initiate conversations about things people have never seen, like the engine gauges mounted into the dash, and the custom speedometer face. The paint was professionally done about 6 years ago, as were the seats also. This car was originally sold from a dealer in the Kansas City area as evidenced by the build sheet which is still under the back seat. It was originally a Jade/Green combo. When we had it painted we chose an early 90's GM truck code for the blue, and a pearled black for the racing stripes. 3 coats of clear over the paint really gives it a luster. Of course we put the cowl hood on since we were going for the SS look, along with all the normal badging and some extra SS's on the wheel hubs. If you prefer to use Malibu markings, it would be relatively easy to do since all the badges are mounted with silicone and can be peeled off with little effort. Lots of custom parts under the hood including a Edlebrock electric choke carb, aluminum intake, K&N air cleaner, headers, chrome Chevrolet valve covers with logo paint matching the exterior, and a chrome radiator hold down. The interior has new seat covers, new carpet, custom mounted engine gauges, hippie gas and dimmer pedals, the 3 hole 12" deep dish steering wheel popular back in the day, Pioneer AM/FM/CD and Pioneer speakers front and back. It also has a tilt steering wheel and non functioning cruise control from the 70's (mounted on the turn signal lever). The car was an original air conditioned and I saved the compressor and hoses when I removed it from the car as they were also non functional. It didn't have a belt on it when I bought the car and I removed the stuff just to make the engine compartment look a little more tidy. You will get the compressor, bracket and hoses with the car. We are forced to sell as we just purchased a new home and have no place to store it. Somebody is going to enjoy this car as much or more than we have. |

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried 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.
2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*
Tue, May 6 2014Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.

Fri, Feb 6 2015Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
