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.

2015 Chevrolet Trax

Thu, Dec 4 2014

After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.
