2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Ls Sport Coupe 2-door 2.2l Iasca, Meca, Usac on 2040-cars
Indian Trail, North Carolina, United States
Up for sale is a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS sport. The real value in this car is in the audio system itself. If you piece out the audio system you should get the car for close to free. If the issues described above are addressed, car blue books for 2577.00. Audio only, not including alternator, wiring, or fuse and fuse holders are valued right now for 2895.00 for a total value 5472. That is conservative on the audio system value. This car has been built with the idea of audio competition in mind. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to actually compete with the vehicle. I have many friends that have done so, and most describe the sound of this vehicle as something that some people spend their whole life trying to achieve. It is truly spectacular. I will get into the details of the audio system shortly. First, the car itself is in good mechanical condition with a couple of exceptions. The car needs paint. I plasti dipped the car to get it looking as good as possible as cheap as possible. If that is not for you the car can be peeled and the original paint revealed. The original paint job is peeling off at the hood, roof, and deck lid where the sun has peeled off the clear coat. There is also an area around the gas tank that started to peel due to fuel I assume. These ares have been sanded, and smoothed out prior to coating the car with the plasti dip. The plasti dip protects the rest of the paint in the meantime. Other issues the car has is that the power window motor on the drivers side has started to slow down and most likely will need to be replaced soon. There is also a tear in the roof liner, a small hole in the dash on the passenger side, the heat deflector no longer deflects to the floor, and the car does burn oil. I have been keeping track of it and checking it at every fill up. The good is that other than those things I listed the body is straight, no other mechanical issues, car runs and drivers great as is. I just want to make sure that there are no surprises. About the audio system: Head unit is comprised of a Pioneer DEX P9 and a DEQ P9. Original retail on the head unit was over 2000.00. Sound quality is amazing, and the unit looks brand new. All wiring is Knuconceptz. The front stage is made up of custom fiberglass tweeter pods that hold the JBL 560 GTI tweeters and the waveguides that acompany this component set. The 560GTI mid is housed in a tightly seeled fiberglass kick panel enclosure. These mids alone sealed in the enclosure provide a nice kick to your chest. The doors have been modified to fit a 10" midbass driver with less than 3 1/4 inch depth. Currently both doors hold a 8" Melodic Acoustic Intimid8r midbass. These midbass drivers are outstanding and sound amazing. The substage consists of 2 JBL W10gtimkii subwoofer in a ported box designed by PWK designs. Amazing ouptut, depth and clarity. My favorite subs along with Boston Acoustics G5 and the JL W7. Powering the drivers are 3 PPI 900.4 amplifiers and JBL BPX 2200.1 for the subwoofers. Each channel of the 900.4 is bridged to an individual driver. Each tweeter gets 450 watts. Each mid gets 450 watts. Each 8 gets 450 watts. The two subs are seeing about 2600 watts of power total. RMS power of the system is a tad greater than 4000 watts. Over 100 hours have gone into the tuning of this system alone. Here is a list of the items and the original prices: Pioneer P9 combo 2600.00 JBL 560gti 5 1/4 components 1299.00 Melodic Acoustic 8's 500.00 2 JBL W10gti 599 each JBL BPX 2200.1 899.00 3 PPI 900.4 225.00 each 2 XS Power D3400 259 each 250 amp alternator 250.00 over 2000.00 in wiring and deadening total 9400 approx not including installation. Install on a job like this would run around 5-6000 as nearly all of it has been custom fabricated. A good pair of kicks will cost 5-700. I am selling for 4200 OBO. I am going to try this post for a couple of weeks before I go ahead, yank all this stuff out and sell the car. Removing this system would be a travesty. More photos will be available by request. Serious inquiries only. Thanks for taking the time to check out my listing. |

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles. The Ford Ranger 1985 Ford Ranger and a 2024 Ford RangerFord Motor Co.
GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s.
