Chevrolet Chevelle Ss Ls6 on 2040-cars
Westland, Michigan, United States
1970 ChevelleSS 454ci 450hp LS6***MATCHING NUMBERS*** Yes, you read that correct. This is a COMPLETE matching numbers 1970 LS6 chevelle. By complete matching numbers I mean the car has its ORIGINAL CRV stamped matching numbers 454 LS6 motor it was born with, its original numbers matching M22 4 speed transmission, and the original 12 bolt rear end with 3.31 posi gear. For those of you who know what a rare bird this is, feel free to skip over the introduction of the monster that is the 1970 Chevelle SS 454ci 450hp LS6. The LS6 engine option was intended to continue on as an option in 1971, but was dropped prior to being put in any 1971 Chevelle models. Reports state that the LS6 option was available on 1971 models but was canceled in May of that year, with just 14 LS6 engines having been produced for the Chevelle that never made it into factory cars. It is because of this that the 1970 LS6-equipped cars are that much more intriguing and collectible still to this day. Documented as one of the greatest Chevelles ever produced, the 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 model was the highest powered Chevelle manufactured in the model’s lifetime, which ran from 1964 through 1977, and was the only GM car at the time to have ever topped the horsepower rating of the Corvette. Even with up to a reported 4,475 LS6 models said to have left the factory floor for the 1970 model year (reported production numbers are inconsistent at best), LS6 Chevelles remain highly sought-after collectors items. EObviously with being the king of the street and having a power plant producing factory rated 450hp and 500lbs of torque (many believe the real power was in excess of 500hp) a good deal of the very few of these produced were blown up, smashed, crashed, beat to death on the strip, and left to die. Of the survivors, VERY few are matching numbers. That being the case, recent sales of this model chevelle in the past 12 months has ranged in the $110,000-$130,000 range. Only 136 matching numbers chevelles are in the LS6 registry! What does that say about the availability of one of these? And the market is making a strong rebound with classic auto and muscle car values and prices again on the rise. So, about this specific car... Again, this is an honest numbers matching LS6 with a 4 speed manual trans, 3.31 posi rear end (posi was an option on ls6 optioned chevelles with a gear ratio below 4.10 and mandatory on cars equipped with the 4.10). Highly optioned, this car comes with a factory tach and highly desirable bucket seats. It has a pin down hood, functional cowl induction with a flap that automatically opens to draw in high pressure air in front of the windshield and force it into the carb, power brakes, power steering, and upgraded suspension that was mandatory to get the ls6 motor. Just the required options (non inclusive of the posi, bucket seats, and tach) that had to be purchased to add the ls6 motor added something like $1800.00 to the sticker back in 1970. Laser straight, this car has just under 88,000 original miles, and only 458 since its complete frame off restoration. The body is all original, free of rust issues, not loaded with bondo, and looks as good today as it did in 1970. Beautiful chrome and bright work. This car does not leak, smoke, rattle, or burn oil. The undercarriage is just as clean as the top, and the interior is like brand new. This is not a project vehicle, not a tribute car, not a recreation, hasn't been restamped, and doesn't need to be wrenched on. She sits now just as she did in 1970 wearing forest green paint, white ss stripes, dark green metallic interior, ss steering wheel, F41 special performance suspension, disc brakes up front, drum in the rear, 454 ls6, 4 bolt main, solid lifter cam, dual plane aluminum intake, 800cfm holly carb, forged steel crank, forged steel connecting rods, aluminum pistons, high flow heads, it is a muscle car collectors dream....Want the best and baddest car at the show? Want a car only a lucky few have been privileged to own, drive, heck not too many people even get the chance to see these other than on TV or in magazines. This is a car similar to that of a yenko or copo and certainly wouldn't have a hard time drawing a crowd wherever you may take it. She runs and drives excellent, and fires right up when the key is turned. Full size wheel and tire in the trunk along with factory jack. I could truly go on and on about the car, what it is, what it means to me and collectors alike, how rare and special it is....but at some point I must stop typing and allow you to see the beauty in the 200+ photos.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.
