1973 Chevelle SS 454

Very few in the country like this one

Let me start out by saying that this is a “REAL”   1973 RPO Code Z15 SS Chevelle 454 Big Block survivor car with 400 automatic transmission and factory A/C. GM only produced 2100 of these cars in this configuration and this was the last year of a big block Chevelle. How many do you think still exist in original condition? This would be a great candidate for a full restoration and  is the next generation of collectable Muscle cars on the rise.

This car is VIN # 1D37Y3B405743

The Exterior appears to be original paint and has all the correct SS equipment available on Malibu 2 door coupe (1AD37)

This Includes:  Black painted grill, SS grill emblems, lower body side and wheel opening  stripes, SS fender emblems, SS end panel, Body color racing style mirrors, bright drip moldings and black painted tail lamp surrounds with bright trim ring.

The body appears to be completely solid and does not appear to have ever been in an accident. There is some minor surface looking rust in the lower rocker panels and the front drivers side fender has a few dents.

Interior: Round instrument cluster with tach and performance gauges, black trim bezel, door trim SS emblems and SS horn shroud, factory A/C and AM radio with 8 track player. The interior is also original to the car and in need of restoration. 

***NOTE***  The buyer of this car will also receive a bonus pair of correct swivel bucket seats along with the center console, correct SS shifter knob and shifter to convert this car to bucket seats.

Chassis: The underside of the car is not rusted and all the floor pans are solid and in good condition. The car has its original GM 14X7 Rally wheels with special center caps (color keyed with SS stripes). The SS also came with special front and rear suspension.

Additional notes about the car:  Complete tune up on engine, A/C compressor and brackets put back on. (needs compressor repaired), New exhaust installed April 2014, Cracked dash pad replaced with NOS 73 Chevelle pad.

The car starts and runs excellent. The motor is very smooth and the transmission shifts through all gears as it should. The car has been driven about 1200 miles without issue since tuned.

The A/C needs a compressor, Freon and hoses.

The paint has been looked at by 3 experts and all agree it is the original factory paint.

The windshield has been cracked and will need to be replaced but all other glass is fine.

This car comes with original brochures and owner’s manual.

Conclusion: This is a real 73 SS 454 bigblock Chevelle in survivor condition. The car runs and drives fine and has been driven several hundred miles recently. The car comes with spare interior parts to convert to a bucket seat car with center console. It’s an A/C car but needs parts and repair. The car is solid with the only real rust through being in the rear tail panel.

Please look at the pictures close and feel free to ask all the questions you like.

 

This vehicle belongs to a friend of mine that lives in Tennessee as well as Anderson SC. He has asked for my help listing his rare car on eBay.  The car is currently stored in Anderson SC.

Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan

Sat, Dec 6 2014

"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
