1971 Chevy Chevelle
400 V8 TH350 Automatic transmission
This Chevelle project is as rust free as anyone could hope for!The only reason I am moving on is my 15 year old son decided he wanted an LS1 trans am instead after I started the resto. New quarter panels were installed because of dents, NOT rust! I have pictures of under the quarter panels on my phone and it is amazing. The floors are also incredibly rust free. Since it was to be for my son I also did the full complete Power disc brake conversion.New parts and high lights include:
  • New Power Disc Brake Booster
  • New Master Cyl
  • New Rotors and Calipers
  • New Front Bearings and seals
  • New front spindles
  • New brake Lines and fluid
  • New Cowl Hood
  • New Grille (in box)
  • New front and Rear Transmission seals and fluid
  • New diff Fluid
  • New passenger door skin not installed
  • Oil, anti freeze, hoses, valve covers and gaskets, plugs
  • This is an AC car no refrigerant in the system but is complete
  • Front seat is reupholstered I have New upholstery for the rear seats. They are all blue, door panels are white but need replacing anyway.Windshield is cracked.Bumpers, front bezels, grille, hood and all lights are removed for body work/paint. Easily installed but if I was buying this car I would want them off so I could choose the paint color and finish the car. I have all the parts and they are included. No carpet as again I would want to see how clean the floor pans are. I also have pictures of the floor pans underneath before undercoating. The pans were sanded for adhesion of coating only and are the cleanest un-restored I have ever seen. I wanted a safe rust free car to build for my son, too bad he couldn't wait!The original color was a copper so please dont confuse that for rust. The darker interior floor pan color is the factory sound heat proofing not rust.

This is a running drivable car! I got a lot of questions regarding this so I guess my ad wasn't clear. The picture of the engine was to show how clean the rockers etc are. No gunk. The car starts and runs and drives. It sit now as the picture with the cowl hood on. The engine is in and runs great. Put the bumpers and lights on and bolt in the front seat and belts and it could be driven home! I left it on the lift hoping someone will come look at it. The undercarriage is spectacular! I can't seem to delete any pictures so Im unable to ad those.

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:

GM Design shows what could have been and what might be

Thu, May 27 2021

We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) It's pretty easy to lose hours in the account, but it's always fascinating to see GM's visions of what could have been and what might be.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
