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.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks
Tue, Jan 6 2015Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
GM puts e-commerce shopping in car dashboards
Tue, Dec 5 2017DETROIT — General Motors on Tuesday said it will equip newer cars with in-dash e-commerce technology, betting it can profit as drivers order food, find fuel or reserve hotel rooms by tapping icons on the dashboard screen, instead of using smartphones while driving. GM's Marketplace technology, developed with IBM, will be uploaded automatically to about 1.9 million model-year 2017 and later vehicles starting immediately, with about 4 million vehicles across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands equipped with the capability in the United States by the end of 2018, GM said. GM will get an undisclosed amount of revenue from merchants featured on its in-dash Marketplace, Santiago Chamorro, GM vice president for global connected customer experience, said during a briefing for reporters. Customers will not be charged for using the service or the data transmitted to and from the car while making transactions, he said. "This platform is financed by the merchants," Chamorro said. GM will get paid for placing a merchant's application on its screens, and "there's some level of revenue sharing" based on each transaction, he said. It is too soon to say how much revenue GM could realize from the Marketplace system, he said. The GM Marketplace will compete for customer clicks and revenue with hand-held smartphones, which offer a far richer array of applications than the GM system will at the outset. Amazon.com is partnering with other automakers, including Ford, to offer in-car e-commerce capability through Amazon's Alexa personal assistant system. For example, GM will launch Marketplace with just Shell and Exxon Mobil icons in the fuel category. The only restaurant available for in-car table reservations at launch is the chain TGI Fridays, GM said. In addition, there will be apps for parking, and ordering ahead at coffee shops and restaurants such as Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Applebee's. "We will be adding more vendors," with some coming in the first quarter of 2018, Chamorro said. In addition, he said GM plans to expand integration into its vehicles of music, news and other information services. GM also hopes to use its in-car Marketplace connections to expand purchases of products and services, such as additional access to in-car wifi, from its own replacement parts business and dealer network. Customers can "expect to see more service promotions coming through the platform," Chamorro said. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video:
