1968 - Chevrolet Chevelle on 2040-cars
Hachita, New Mexico, United States
I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS BEAUTIFUL 1968 TRUE 138 SS 396 CHEVELLE THAT I PURCHASED IN 1976. IT WAS REPAINTED TO THE FACTORY BUTTERNUT YELLOW IN 1998. THE SEATS AND FRONT DOOR PANELS HAVE ALSO BEEN REDONE TO THE FACTORY OYSTER COLOR AND FABRIC. THE TURBO 400 TRANSMISSION AND 12 BOLT 3.73 REAR END ARE ORIGINAL. THE ENGINE IS A DATE CORRECT 396 THAT WAS REDONE IN 2000. IT HAS BEEN BORED .030 AND A LUNATI CAM, EDELBROCK INTAKE, HOLLEY 650 AND A SPECTRE AIR FILTER WERE ADDED. IT HAS A MSD 6 BOX AND ELECTRONIC HEI IGNITION AND CAST EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT HAVE BEEN CERAMIC COATED WITH AN ALUMINIZED FLOWMASTER EXHAUST SYSTEM. I CHANGE THE FACTORY DISC BRAKES TO A SINGLE PISTON CALIPER STYLE AND I WILL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY 4 PISTON CALIPERS WITH SPINDLES WITH THE SALE. THE CAR ORIGINALLY HAD A BENCH SEAT BUT I HAVE CONVERTED TO BUCKET SEATS AND CONSOLE FROM A DONOR 1968 CHEVELLE. I WILL INCLUDE THE FACTORY SEAT AND THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFTER LEVER AND LINKAGE. THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL WAS CHANGED TO THE ONE SHOWN AND WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS CHANGED TO A FLAMING RIVER LAST YEAR DUE TO A VERY WORN OUT FACTORY TILT COLUMN. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE 17" AND HAVE DECENT TREAD REMAINING. THE CAR IS VERY RELIABLE AND DRIVES ABSOLUTELY GREAT WITH NO RATTLES OR WIND LEAKS. ALL THE WEATHERSTRIP AND BODY GASKETS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. IT HAS NO MAJOR LEAKS AND DOES NO USE NOR BURN OIL OR FLUIDS. IT HAS A FACTORY A/C THAT REQUIRES FREON ONCE A YEAR WHEN THE WEATHER REQUIRES THE USE OF THE A/C. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS IT WILL NEED THE REAR PANEL BELOW THE REAR WINDOW REPAIRED AND THE ROOF SHOWS SIGNS OF SURFACE RUST UNDER THE VINYL TOP. THIS IS A COMMON AREA OF REPAIR FOR THESE CARS. IT ALSO HAS A CRACKED DASH PAD AND THE CONTROLS FOR THE A/C AND HEATER NEED TO BE EITHER ADJUSTED OR SOMETHING TO HAVE THE AIR CONTROL THRU THE DUCTING FOR PROPER SELECTION WHERE TO EXIT. RIGHT NOW IT ONLY BLOWS OUT THE BOTTOM IN THE CENTER AND THE DEFROSTER. IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL PAINT SCRATCHES BUT NO DENTS. THE BUMPERS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION BUT COULD USE RECHROMING. THE DASH HAS A COUPLE OF ILLUMINATION LIGHT BULBS THAT ARE IN NEED OF CHANGING. OVERALL THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE SOUTHERN NM AREA WHERE THERE IS VERY LOW HUMIDITY AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT GARAGED AND COVERED. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH OF HOW GREAT THIS CAR DRIVES, HANDLES AND HOW RELIABLE IT IS. I WOULD NOT HESITATE DRIVING IT ANYWHERE.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015!

2020 Chevy Trax spied sporting design cues from the new Blazer
Wed, Oct 3 2018We saw spy shots in August for what we thought was either a redesigned Chevrolet Trax or new GMC subcompact crossover. At the time we were leaning Chevy. But after this latest batch of spy shots taken near GM's proving grounds, we're now thinking this one is the Trax replacement and the other one was a GMC. For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the 2019 Chevy Blazer's LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the Blazer as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today's Trax with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer. Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn't have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the GMC Terrain, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don't exactly look production-ready anyway. If we're right about this being the next Trax (and we're pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it's shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.
