 Ok I had to re-list the item as there was a glitch in Ebays system, so the main picture wasn't showing--I have been told that this is a true L78 Car--I have the #'s Matching block that will be included in the sale-It has the correct Vin stamped along with the correct Suffix Code JD and has the Hi-perf stamp on it-See the photo--I do not have a build sheet or protecto plate--what I have is the block--The car currently has a rebuilt 396-325HP motor from a 66 Chevelle in it--The original block is good and is ready to be built and has no cracks.It is a true Lemans blue car with paint code of 71B-Obviously it was a vinyl top car-The guy I got it from did not like the vinyl top--I personally love them and had planned on putting the correct vinyl top back on it--It is a 4speed car. It was a frame off resto before I purchased the car-The previous owner did the resto-I believe it to be a nut and bolt resto-It was done sometime in the last couple years-So all the chrome trim and body panels are excellent-There is one tiny chip on the car-its about the size of a pen head maybe a little bigger-I think one of my kids did it in the garage--The interior is brand new-Everything works as it should but does need the factory radio as that's the only thing missing-The cars undercarriage is very nice-Its a little dusty.The car has been just sitting in my garage under a cover-It runs fantastic-It drives down the road straight and true with no rattles or noises. It is very quiet-It has the stock manifolds and is very quiet mufflers--Close to stock I would say-It has the correct 14" SS wheels and I was told they are the original wheels that have been restored and have the correct date codes-I had it appraised and it will come with the car--It appraised at 35k without the original block-I had it done before I was able to obtain the original block for the car-The guy I purchased the car from had the original block and I thought it was included when I bought the car-long story long-he decided he had to get extra money for the block-and basically held it for ransom and I had no choice but to pay the ransom for the block-and it wasn't cheap-Yeah I know what your thinking-I got screwed !My thoughts exactly.-But I had to have the block-Its what makes the car-It proves it to be a true L78 car-But frankly who in their right mind wouldn't want the block-Its an L78!!!!! SO needless to say I gave him the money for the block and it is now INCLUDED IN THE SALE!!!!-With all that being said I am still in contact with the previous owner of the car--and he's actually a very nice guy-and loves muscle cars as much as me-He says he has lots of photos of the car during the resto and before-I have never seen them-But I will put the new owner in contact with him if you would like -he also knows more of the history of the car-I do have a standing offer on the car-Its a good offer but I really never intended on selling the car-So I figured I would try on e-bay and if it doesn't sell here I will sell it to him-We are now selling it as my wife and I have decided to install an inground pool at my house to the tune of over 50K so I need to come up with some cash-The car will be sold with NY registration in my name and is being sold as-is where is-I love the car but my kids happiness is way more important to me than my car--I have quite a few cars-mostly Corvettes-This is the nicest car out of all of them-and for me its just too nice and Im afraid to even drive it-My goal when I bought it was to rebuild that L78 motor and wrap it in plastic-its too valuable to risk blowing it up-and then someday sell it to help pay for the kids college-But like I said I know what kind of happiness that a pool will give my kids and to me that's priceless-So if your interested in purchasing a piece of Chevy history here is your chance.-And its being priced at what a 325Hp car would sell for-As it really needs to be sold to help pay for the pool!Feel free to come and inspect the car-or ask any question you may have-I will try and answer them the best I can-I had to relist this car so this is the new listing--I had a lot of e-mails on the car from some really nice and knowledable people and I have had a few haters e-mail me on the car telling me its a clone and blah blah blah--This is what I know and what I was told--I am no Chevelle expert but I am listing it with the facts I have in front of me and what I was told--You be the judge--If you don't like it --then don't bid on it and don't buy it-that simple-I love the car and think its a great car-and I think it speaks for itself--I encourage you to come and view the car and judge it for yourself--

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers

Fri, Oct 31 2014

If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
