1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport on 2040-cars

1970 Chevelle with the L78 engine
(396 CI w/375HP). I have owned the car since September of 2003. It was delivered with 29413 miles on the odometer;
it now has 32568 which represent about 300 miles per year. I will not use adjectives like “awesome” (the Grand
Canyon & Great wall are more deserving of the moniker), “born” (it was "produced" on Oct, 21st 1969 in Atlanta
GA), since it is, a car, but in this case, a rare investment. There are a few hundred LS6 cars out there for sale
on any given day. I suspect a few more then actually were manufactured, aka: 67 Tri Carb Vettes and 69 1/2
Z-28’s. Even the $100K cars have flaws, for example the radio ground (Page 878 of the ASM) is never on any of
them. Take notes kids:
I have original build sheet (see picture) it is old and yellow but I took the picture. The block is replacement
CE/CKO and the heads set for unleaded gas. In every way I tried my damndest to adhere to my very dog eared
assembly manual. I have about 25 lbs of other books, journals and receipts that will be in the trunk of your
investment. I trudged the junk yards in five states to get OEM parts whenever possible.So, the fan, coil, alternator, oil cap, radiator cap, clips etc. are OEM. The block is a CE/CKO (402 4
speed)factory warranty replacement and the heads set up for unleaded gas. I am too stooped to rig stuff
regardless, and commons sense dictates that “rigging” while lending individuality, always decreases the value.
While it's fun to buy $500 in chrome at WalMart, you will need to find people to admire your egocentric handiwork.
It's a hell of a lot harder to go OEM, ***junkyards are lousy with woodticks, wasps and lack proper restroom
facilities.
I consistently rebuild the damn Holley carb every spring. Have the OEM alternator, fuel pump, (changed out all the
fuel lines), replaced the fuel tank, correct exhaust system (with resonators) added an NOS AM Radio. Annually
change all fluids, drained the tank, and blew out the fuel lines. Use Teflon gaskets on the bowls of the
ridiculously expensive 4557 correct Holley. Car has console, buckets added by the previous owners. The car is a high end driver, you cannot eat off the chassis as it is dealer rustproofed. My aforementioned lack of
a life did not include this painstaking removal process for a driver. I have never been to a car show where the
couple with the lawn chairs (that match the paint on the car) were dining off the rotisserie floor (light, dull red
) pan. These 900mg lithium control types always have that “Look but Don’t Touch” sign on their life defining
Chevelle.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
