1978 Chevrolet Suburban Silverado Trailering Special.  This Suburban was special ordered as a two wheel drive 3/4 ton with the rare trailering special option which included, one ton suspension,  4.10 gears, heavy duty springs, shocks, front and rear sway bars, bigger front disc and rear drum brakes, heavy duty tow hitch, trailer brake module and wiring harness. This truck with this option was installed with the LF8 454 which had different heads and cam for more torque and did not have all the smog equipment. The motor was rebuilt 40K ago. It has a MX1 Turbo 400 transmission that has been upgraded with a shift kit for firmer shifts. It also has from the factory a heavy duty transmission cooler and engine oil cooler. This makes it rated at 11,000 GCW (gross combined weight). It is also equipped with dual exhaust as well which is new. The options are as follows, power steering, power brakes, HEI ignition, deluxe air conditioning which blows ice cold, electric tailgate window, soft-ray glass which is all perfect, tilt steering, cruise control, headlamp warning buzzer, tachometer, deluxe cloth interior, am/fm stereo, door edge guards, 40 gallon fuel tank, chrome grill, chrome front bumper guards,  Silverado option,  drip moldings and two tone paint. This Suburban has 164K on the odometer and runs great, starts up on cold mornings with the choke on and comes to idle when it warms up. Factory wheels, deluxe caps and new tires with warranty. The headliner and front carpet are all new and the rest of the interior looks amazing! On the drivers seat upright, the fabric is starting to split, this fabric is still available. Now for the outside, this Suburban is real straight for its age, most of the paint is original and very presentable, the hood is thin but glossy like no tomorrow, even the door jams are perfect.  There is a little rust under the driver door rocker panel but it is very minor. The right rear lower quarter panel has a small amount of bubbling as well, but again, very minor. The chrome is amazing throughout and the rear bumper is new. This truck comes with all of the history, window sticker, build sheet, service parts identification decal, owners manual, maintenance schedule and all service and repair records. This truck is an excellent candidate for a tow vehicle for your race car, horses, travel trailer, utility trailer, or whatever you desire and in all confidence!! Special ordered and purchased new from Murray Chevrolet in Gresham, Or. I purchased this truck from the original family 10 years ago. Every time I take it out, it draws a crowd of people who can't believe the condition. It has been stored in doors it's whole life and it shows.  If your in the market for an early Suburban that tows, thats in amazing condition, look no further, this is a find.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla sells Model S 85 and 70D in Malaysia, Chevy Spark EV built using clean energy

Mon, May 18 2015

Tesla will send Model S 70D and Model S 85 EVs to Malaysia for leasing to government-linked companies. Only those companies will have access to the models as a two-year lease, which will be imported and leased by Malaysian Green Technology Corporation. The plan is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water to allow government officials and other influential people to get to know the electric vehicles and the benefits that come along with them. Most of the 120 vehicles available will be the 70D model, and the lessee companies will have the option to purchase the cars at the end of the two years. Read more from Paul Tan's Automotive News.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt

Mon, Jan 13 2014

At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012.
