1971 Chevelle SS LS5 454 Convertible, let me start out by saying that I bought this car from the gentleman who's dad owned the car and who had it professionally restored and showed the car, I was told that it cost the man about 100K to restore this car, the car was built, trailered around to a few shows where it took top honors, best of show and best paint a few times, then was put on a show room floor at a museum in south Alabama. The gentleman died and I bought the car from his son. But I have known about this car for a very long time. The car is real, but the original motor was blown up during its life time and a real LS6 crate engine was put in its place. The motor is backed by a turbo 400 transmission. As well the correct 12 bolt. The car features P/s, P/b, P/top, A/c, F41 suspension, buckets with console, flow master exhaust kit, and cowl induction hood. The wheels on the car are new 17's American racing wheels. The car is the correct mulsanne blue which is what it came from the factory with. When the car was being restored everything on the car was either brand new or rebuilt. The interior of the car is white buckets with the correct center console shift. The car has a 6500 redline tach and all the other correct SS gauges. The car has a JVC radio with a 6 disc CD changer in the trunk.The car has been done for a couple years now but you cant tell because it still looks as great as it did when it came from the restoration shop. The car is still laser straight, it may have a rock chip or two now, because I bought the car to drive and enjoy and boy does it ride like a dream. This car is the best riding and driving car in my collection. I simply jump in the car and turn on the air and take off to shows, win first place and drive it back home. The car has a light coat of undercoating on the floors for protection, nothing that's heavy, you can make out all body lines on the floor pans perfectly. All the other suspension pieces are painted the correct colors that they should be, and look great. Everything on the car works, as far as I know the car doesn't need anything but a new driver to show her off. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off if sold. The car is sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Kody 251-454-5455

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
