1966 Chevrolet Chevelle. This is the barn find, project car. I purchased the car several months ago. It appears and i was told the car had been setting for unknown years. It is apparent that the previous owner had used the car at the strip. All of the interior has been removed and front end parts. I have installed a new gas tank, drained the fluids and installed a new battery. The motor is strong. I changed the carb out. I installed a used Edelbrock 650 and the car starts and runs strong. Has a torker intake, mild street cam and headers. The distributor has been changed out to a HEI. It has a turbo 350 auto trans with a Hurst Ratchet Shifter. It still has the factory 10 bolt rear end. It has rust in the floor pans and the trunk, literally to the point you can see through to the asphalt. The body is as you see it, old and worn out and rust through out the panels. When i purchased the vehicle it came with new floor pans and trunk pan and they will also go with the sale of the car. It has one driver seat and thats it. I have taken lots of photos and can email to anyone. Several reasons i purchased the car. It is a factory V8, bucket seat, center console, factory ac car. The cowl tag is enclosed with the photo package. The photos will show some of the factory ac parts still intact. It came with a power glide transmission. I even got the center console when i purchased. Photos are also enclosed. It starts, runs and stops. It is what you see. Needs all the sheet metal replaced and interior. It was a factory Lemonwood Yellow with black bucket seats. Here are the facts and cowl decoding that i have. The engine is a non matching engine number. Block casting is a 14016379. I have deciphered this to be a 77-79 350, 225 HP motor out of a corvette or others, as it lists. The stamping number on the tab of the block is V0799800. The wheels are 15"Centerline wheels with front tires being Lemans 165-15, the rears are Daytona 225-60-15. The tires are weather cracked on the sides, but hold air and have tread on the them. I am still trying to decipher the rear end code and will list at a later date.
I am selling because i am overloaded with hot rod project cars, yet just couldnt pass this car up especially with the options it had originally. The car is sold as is. I will answer any questions i can. This car needs to be put back to its original state. Thanks for looking. I do have the car listed locally for sale as well and reserve the right to end the auction early.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper
Mon, Apr 23 2018Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.
