Ok I had to re-list the item as there was a glitch in Ebays system, so the main picture wasn't showing--I have been told that this is a true L78 Car--I have the #'s Matching block that will be included in the sale-It has the correct Vin stamped along with the correct Suffix Code JD and has the Hi-perf stamp on it-See the photo--I do not have a build sheet or protecto plate--what I have is the block--The car currently has a rebuilt 396-325HP motor from a 66 Chevelle in it--The original block is good and is ready to be built and has no cracks.It is a true Lemans blue car with paint code of 71B-Obviously it was a vinyl top car-The guy I got it from did not like the vinyl top--I personally love them and had planned on putting the correct vinyl top back on it--It is a 4speed car. It was a frame off resto before I purchased the car-The previous owner did the resto-I believe it to be a nut and bolt resto-It was done sometime in the last couple years-So all the chrome trim and body panels are excellent-There is one tiny chip on the car-its about the size of a pen head maybe a little bigger-I think one of my kids did it in the garage--The interior is brand new-Everything works as it should but does need the factory radio as that's the only thing missing-The cars undercarriage is very nice-Its a little dusty.The car has been just sitting in my garage under a cover-It runs fantastic-It drives down the road straight and true with no rattles or noises. It is very quiet-It has the stock manifolds and is very quiet mufflers--Close to stock I would say-It has the correct 14" SS wheels and I was told they are the original wheels that have been restored and have the correct date codes-I had it appraised and it will come with the car--It appraised at 35k without the original block-I had it done before I was able to obtain the original block for the car-The guy I purchased the car from had the original block and I thought it was included when I bought the car-long story long-he decided he had to get extra money for the block-and basically held it for ransom and I had no choice but to pay the ransom for the block-and it wasn't cheap-Yeah I know what your thinking-I got screwed !My thoughts exactly.-But I had to have the block-Its what makes the car-It proves it to be a true L78 car-But frankly who in their right mind wouldn't want the block-Its an L78!!!!! SO needless to say I gave him the money for the block and it is now INCLUDED IN THE SALE!!!!-With all that being said I am still in contact with the previous owner of the car--and he's actually a very nice guy-and loves muscle cars as much as me-He says he has lots of photos of the car during the resto and before-I have never seen them-But I will put the new owner in contact with him if you would like -he also knows more of the history of the car-I do have a standing offer on the car-Its a good offer but I really never intended on selling the car-So I figured I would try on e-bay and if it doesn't sell here I will sell it to him-We are now selling it as my wife and I have decided to install an inground pool at my house to the tune of over 50K so I need to come up with some cash-The car will be sold with NY registration in my name and is being sold as-is where is-I love the car but my kids happiness is way more important to me than my car--I have quite a few cars-mostly Corvettes-This is the nicest car out of all of them-and for me its just too nice and Im afraid to even drive it-My goal when I bought it was to rebuild that L78 motor and wrap it in plastic-its too valuable to risk blowing it up-and then someday sell it to help pay for the kids college-But like I said I know what kind of happiness that a pool will give my kids and to me that's priceless-So if your interested in purchasing a piece of Chevy history here is your chance.-And its being priced at what a 325Hp car would sell for-As it really needs to be sold to help pay for the pool!Feel free to come and inspect the car-or ask any question you may have-I will try and answer them the best I can-I had to relist this car so this is the new listing--I had a lot of e-mails on the car from some really nice and knowledable people and I have had a few haters e-mail me on the car telling me its a clone and blah blah blah--This is what I know and what I was told--I am no Chevelle expert but I am listing it with the facts I have in front of me and what I was told--You be the judge--If you don't like it --then don't bid on it and don't buy it-that simple-I love the car and think its a great car-and I think it speaks for itself--I encourage you to come and view the car and judge it for yourself--

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
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.
8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015
Mon, Jan 5 2015Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.
