This Is An All Original Real Survivor! on 2040-cars
Elgin, Illinois, United States
|
You won't find a cleaner Chevelle that is a true
original. Nearly everything on this car is from factory 1972 and in flawless
original 32,000 miles condition. The few changes to the car are considered bolt
on conversions and I have all necessary parts to convert this car back to 100%
original condition I have added a Flowmaster dual exhaust from the factory manifolds back, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's with less than 3000 miles on them. In 2009 I added brand new all steel chromed period correct Chevrolet Rally wheels with full metal center caps. Wheels alone were $2400 new for the set due to the “Chevrolet Motor Division” logo etched on the steel center caps which is OEM 1972 Chevrolet spec. The original owner replaced the AM radio with an AM/FM tape deck and added two rear speakers. I do have the original working AM radio, factory rear speaker and a new rear deck shelf if you wanted the interior back to 100% original. This car came new with steel wheels and hub caps and I have the original hub caps to go with the car as well. This is a 350 Malibu package with an unmolested and never painted 350 V8 2 barrel carb and even the air cleaner decal is original. Runs like brand new with only 32,000 original miles and doesn’t burn or leak any oil at all even during heavy acceleration. I did remove and re-paint the valve covers in 2009. I also replaced the radiator in 2008 and found another factory radiator for this car still in the original box from 1972. Everything in the engine compartment is as clean as the day the car was made and has the original hood insulation. The TH 350 transmission shifts flawlessly. I had a classic car mechanic in my area give the car a complete bumper to bumper diagnostic and everything was in perfect order. This car has no oil pan, Trans, rear main seal leaks or differential leaks. Undercarriage was seal coated from the dealer and is not pealing. There is no rusting on the frame, suspension or gas tank and straps. The interior is a standard bench seat automatic. No rips, no tears, carpet looks brand new and not frayed anywhere. Not a crack or bubble anywhere on the dash board and none of the plastic molding on the dash display is chipped, damaged or faded in any way. Floor mats are factory original to match the interior and look brand new. I can supply additional interior pictures upon request. The pictures don't give the condition of the body and chrome justice. Paint and chrome are both 100% original with no dents, scratches, discoloration, and cracking or rust anywhere on or under the paint. The chrome all around the car has no pitting, pealing or rust. These cars were painted by hand in 1972 and there is a tiny factory paint overrun on the front fender which is only noticeable if you are told where to look. The original owner wanted a Heavy Chevy but couldn't afford the up charge so decided to have the signature stripe added before taking delivery. Stripe decal shows very little cracking and is very intact. From new this car has been garage kept during winter months and has been very well taken care of since production 42 years ago. The oil has been changed every year in the fall and has been properly conditioned for climate controlled storage conditions year round. I also have a felt car cover included in the sale of this vehicle. I will not reveal my reserve price since this is an auction but have a conservative "Buy it Now" price. I also have this car listed locally and it may sell without notice. |

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
GM follows up Lambda CUV stop-sale with tire recall
Mon, Feb 9 2015In late January, General Motors announced a stop-sale for about 6,281 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave because of the possibility for the treads cracking on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. At the time, GM said that this would also eventually lead to a safety campaign to repair the problem, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just published those details. GM's recall covers 5,876 of the three Lambda platform crossovers to replace their tires. According to NHTSA, if the treads crack, there could be a loss of pressure and possible failure. Goodyear already announced its own recall of the tires after internal testing found small tread cracks. The company did not believe this was safety issue, but the problem did put the rubber out of compliance with federal laws. The business's safety campaign covered an estimated 48,512 tires. Of those, around 32,000 were reportedly made for GM to either be fitted to vehicles or sold as replacements. The remainder went to the aftermarket. Goodyear's portion of the recall is expected to begin around February 20. RECALL Subject : Tire Tread Cracking/FMVSS 110 Report Receipt Date: JAN 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V044000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,876 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2015 GMC ACADIA 2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 14, 2015, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 20, 2015, and 2015 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 16, 2015, and all equipped with Goodyear P255/65R18 Fortera HL tires. These vehicles are equipped with tires that may experience tread cracking. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less." CONSEQUENCE: If the tire treads crack, a loss of tire pressure and possible tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires that were manufactured within a specific date range, free of charge.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
