1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible Ss Clone Restomod on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
This is a beautiful, smooth cruiser and runs drives and shifts as should be expected. Of the eight collector cars we owned at one point, this is the one we decided to keep. It's easy to start, drive and enjoy. On top of that, you will get 18-20 MPG from a 300+ HP classic. It has a GM Goodwrench 350 replacement engine with a mild cam for some extra giddyup. Backed up with a 700R4 automatic overdrive and I believe 2.73 rear gears. The combination results in low engine and exhaust noise on the highway if you're in the mood. Otherwise, leave it in 3rd gear and you will be hearing the pleasant tone from the custom Flowmaster exhaust, with it's thrushy sounds. It sounds like a true musclecar, just as you would expect. Heads will turn wherever you go and people will ask you to take a closer look. There are some custom touches that initiate conversations about things people have never seen, like the engine gauges mounted into the dash, and the custom speedometer face. The paint was professionally done about 6 years ago, as were the seats also. This car was originally sold from a dealer in the Kansas City area as evidenced by the build sheet which is still under the back seat. It was originally a Jade/Green combo. When we had it painted we chose an early 90's GM truck code for the blue, and a pearled black for the racing stripes. 3 coats of clear over the paint really gives it a luster. Of course we put the cowl hood on since we were going for the SS look, along with all the normal badging and some extra SS's on the wheel hubs. If you prefer to use Malibu markings, it would be relatively easy to do since all the badges are mounted with silicone and can be peeled off with little effort. Lots of custom parts under the hood including a Edlebrock electric choke carb, aluminum intake, K&N air cleaner, headers, chrome Chevrolet valve covers with logo paint matching the exterior, and a chrome radiator hold down. The interior has new seat covers, new carpet, custom mounted engine gauges, hippie gas and dimmer pedals, the 3 hole 12" deep dish steering wheel popular back in the day, Pioneer AM/FM/CD and Pioneer speakers front and back. It also has a tilt steering wheel and non functioning cruise control from the 70's (mounted on the turn signal lever). The car was an original air conditioned and I saved the compressor and hoses when I removed it from the car as they were also non functional. It didn't have a belt on it when I bought the car and I removed the stuff just to make the engine compartment look a little more tidy. You will get the compressor, bracket and hoses with the car. We are forced to sell as we just purchased a new home and have no place to store it. Somebody is going to enjoy this car as much or more than we have. |

Camaro driver clocked at 171 miles per hour
Wed, Apr 13 2016Chevy's 2016 Camaro SS is a fantastic piece of automotive engineering. It is also, apparently, very, very fast. This latter fact was perfectly illustrated when, on April 8, a Camaro SS driver was nailed in Two Harbors, Minnesota for doing 171 mph. According to WFAA, the unnamed speed demon was flying down Highway 61 near Two Harbors when Hermantown, MN Deputy Police Chief Shawn Padden clocked him at an eye-watering 171 mph. He then recorded the speeder at 168 and 141. At the time, Deputy Chief Padden was working with Minnesota State Patrol on an anti-DWI program called "Toward Zero Deaths". Padden, who was interviewed by the Duluth News Tribune, said he was surprised at the driver's sheer speed. "When he went by me, it was a blur," Padden told the News. "You get used to seeing people going 65 or 70 and what that looks like. But I've never seen anything like this. It's like a rocket on wheels." Fadden chased the Camaro down eventually, but it took some doing. To catch the Camaro, he pushed his Dodge Charger Pursuit to 135 mph just to get into range so the Camaro could see his emergency lights. The speeding driver was ticketed for careless driving, but may lose his license due to a Minnesota law that gives courts the option of revoking licenses for drivers caught doing more than 100 mph.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
