1973 Chevrolet Chevelle on 2040-cars
Arcata, California, United States
I recently obtained this vehicle from the guy who brought life to it. He got the vehicle about 5 years ago - an SS roller with all original rust free and straight sheet metal, original interior, etc. A low mileage 454 engine(4 bolt main) and TH400 3 Speed Automatic transmission were taken from an 80s Chevy pickup. As you can see from the photos he spared little expense. He tried to keep as much of the original vehicle as possible - only redoing those items that needed attention. The exterior paint was re-done - a beautiful black - the paint is like glass - easily a $5K + paint job. The interior is extremely nice - the car retains its original SS door panels and rear seat. Restoration included a custom dash pad, new matching upholstery on the front seats(factory swivel buckets), new carpet and headliner. Upgrades to the 454 include the following: General Motors Dual Plane high rise manifold, Edlebrock 800 CFM carb, HEI distributor, Hooker Headers, 2.5 dual Flowmaster Exhaust, large aluminum radiator, Transgo Shift kit. The car has a 3.55 positraction rear end. New parts include water pump, belts, hoses, alternator, starter, tires, KYB rear shocks, U joints, rebuilt front disc brakes. It also has new rubber seals at both doors and trunk. Newer tires sitting on vintage Centerline staggered wheels. You wont find any rust on this Fremont CA built Chevelle. The car has mostly been sitting in a garage, driven rarely since completion - the owner found a new project and this one was taking up the garage space so had to go. With that being said it will probably need some tweaks here and there but the car is extremely solid, has plenty of power and can be driven and enjoyed as is. The car has Power brakes, power steering and power windows - all work as they should. Gauges work in a blend of factory gauges and after market(Example - factory tach does not work but the large lower tach does work). I

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.
