1968 Chevrolet Chevelle on 2040-cars
Aguanga, California, United States
1968 Chevrolet Chevelle This 1968 Chevy Chevelle is in restorable condition. The small block engine runs but has a bad knock. Clear California title in hand, no back DMV fees, this car is on Planned Non-Operational status. The odometer reading of 51,947 miles is INACCURATE. Please see below for more details: Body: Serious paint fade and oxidation, but the body is solid. The only concerns are rust holes on each front fender (see pix), behind the wheel wells and someone had installed fiberglass fender flares on the rear fenders and the flares are damaged, one having been completely knocked off. It has an after market sunroof and the windshield has caulking along the upper edge. All glass is good. There is a ding on the leading edge of the front left fender, and some marks on rear bumper area. Also a white spot in the center of the right rear taillight. Rocker panels are rust-free. Floor pans are solid. Trunk is solid. Bumpers in decent but not perfect condition, grill the same. Engine/Transmission: The small block engine is believed to be a 350, and not the original engine. This is not an SS car and the 396 badge is misleading. The engine does run but has a serious knock and will have to be replaced or rebuilt. The automatic transmission is a Turbo 350, column shift. Drive Train/Suspension/Chassis: The front end needs bushings and possibly tie rod ends. The chassis is rust free (see pix). The shocks will need replacing. Brakes work well. Wheels are mismatched and the tires are old and not to be trusted. Interior: OK, this car had some "custom" work done way back in the eighties. The diamond tuck interior is in need of replacement (to say the least), the driver's side of the bench seat is badly shredded. The dash is cracked, the carpet falling apart and the headliner gone, though the rods remain. There are also quite a few accessories wired in and a mess of wiring under the dash by the steering wheel (see pic). Title/Registration Status: Clear California title, this Chevelle is being offered by owner. The California registration is "Planned Non-Operational" status, which means that it is parked and no fees are owed or occurring. Please examine the pix carefully. We welcome any questions you may have regarding this item. Buyer responsible for shipping, seller can assist with arrangements and coordinating with shipper. This car can possibly be delivered by seller for a fee to CA, OR, AZ, NV, WA. Email for details. Appointments to come and see the car can be made by contacting the seller.

GM sees 'strong year' in 2018, then gold in Chevy Silverado for 2019
Tue, Jan 16 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it expects earnings in 2018 to be largely flat compared with 2017, but that profits should pick up pace in 2019 as its revamped line of high-margin pickup trucks hits the U.S. market. The 2018 earnings outlook was above market expectations, sending GM shares up more than 3 percent in premarket trading. "GM had a very good 2017 as we continued to transform our company to be more focused, resilient and profitable," GM Chief Executive Mary Barra said in a statement. "We are positioned for another strong year in 2018 and an even better one in 2019." GM and its Detroit rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, are bringing on new trucks at a time when overall U.S. new vehicle sales have been falling, but truck sales continue to grow as consumers abandon passenger cars in favor of pickups, SUVs and crossovers. GM on Saturday fired a new round in the battle for profits from one of the U.S. auto industry's most lucrative segments when it showed a new generation of its Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the Detroit auto show. The new Silverado, a highlight of the event, is the successor to GM's best-selling vehicle in North America. Sales of the current Silverado rose nearly 2 percent to 585,000 vehicles in 2017. In the coming months, the company will also reveal a revamped GMC Sierra pickup truck. U.S. new vehicle sales fell 2 percent in 2017 after hitting a record high in 2016, and are expected to drop further in 2018 as interest rates rise and more late-model used cars return to dealer lots to compete with new ones. GM said on Tuesday that while it retools a factory in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, to make the new pickup trucks, it will shift some production to an Oshawa, Ontario, plant in order to avoid missing sales in a hot market for the vehicles. The No. 1 U.S. automaker said it will record a $7 billion non-cash charge for its fourth-quarter 2017 earnings related to deferred tax assets. GM said it expects capital expenditure in 2018 of around $8.5 billion, about $1 billion of which will go toward funding self-driving car technology. Last week, the company said it is seeking U.S. government approval for a fully autonomous car — one without a steering wheel, brake pedal or accelerator pedal — to enter the automaker's first commercial ride-sharing fleet in 2019. GM said it expects 2017 earnings per share at the high end of its previously forecast range of $6 to $6.50.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet
Tue, May 9 2017When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
