1972 Chevelle Convertible. Two owner car. Original V-8 350(fully rebuilt by 2nd owner in 2008 who was a certified GM mechanic at RAMP Chevrolet for 30 years before passing). The only modifications were HEI ignition conversion(no more points to mess with), polished aluminum intake, and headers. The car was to be stripped and repainted after the motor rebuild was completed in 2008(started with pass fender and stopped see pic). The engine turns freely and I am confident it will run and drive fine. I was told by my  mechanic not to start the car without removing the old gas....I was told by others to just start the car.......I will be cautious and NOT start the car. I do know it needs a new battery. The car has been in dry storage in the garage since to 2008 to present day. The car has a new black power top with glass rear window, the inner liner of the top is perfect and the frame skeleton is clean(may have been restored). The car has tinted windows from factory and all glass is clean. The pinch molding around the rear deck is spotless and excellent shape, the A-pillar front windshield moldings are spotless and shine as new, the convertible top bow is in mint condition with original leather wrapping intact(no rust, no bubbles..... very clean). The car has all its original panels. The floors, frame and trunk pan are original and solid(see pics).The  original color combo from factory on cowl tag which reads paint code 75 cranberry red is very desirable with the black interior and top. As you can see from the pics the pass fender was taken down to metal and headlight extensions with grill were removed(assuming this was where the resto was started and stopped by the mechanic who was in the process of restoring the exterior of car before he passed). All the parts mentioned are included. The front bumper is missing. I may be able to locate it and if I do It will be included...if the widow who sold me the car cant find it you can locate one on ebay for $75 or brand new repro for $150 in mint ready to use shape(see NPD National Parts Depot). This is a nice solid car that can be used as is or finished to whatever level your wife will let you...lol. The car has never been hit. My mechanic looked over the car and had nothing bad to say. I am not asking a lot for the car.Feel free to call with offers if you are serious. Its offered for sale in my local area and I may end  auction early. All are welcome to inspect car before auction end. The car is sold in used as is condition. All international bidders welcome. I will assist and store car in garage until pick up, but transport payment and planning are the buyers responsibility. I will gladly assist with shipper contact if need. I am retired Police Officer....so I have some time on my hand and glad to help if I can. If the car does not sell I will put a bumper on the car and enjoy it this summer. I have a clear title/NY reg ready to transfer to new owner Please feel free to call me with any questions. 631-943-9107 Thank you. First fair offer gets the car.

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
