 I recently purchased this vehicle on a whim believing I could finish it up in no time and have a cool ride.  The previous owner spent 2 years getting it to the point that it could be driven, so I was sure it would be no big deal to complete the process.  As a 70 year old, you  think I would know better!  Therefore, it is being offered for sale to someone motivated to follow it through to the finish..   There are many great things to say about the car and I`ll cover those first.  The sheet metal is really solid.  He took it down to the metal, fixed very few pinholes of rust on the fender dog legs, then sprayed it.  When I drove it home, I took a magnet and went over the entire outside and found those lower fender areas the only places the magnet would not hold.   There has been a repair to the passenger side rear floorboard, but the rest of the inside and the trunk floor is solid.  All in all, this body is in great shape for a 47 year old car.  I believe the steel hood is from an SS 396, but I don`t know that for a fact.  Regarding the engine, he told me it was a 350.  I looked for the stamped code on the passenger side cylinder head pad and found nothing.  I then recalled seeing that missing only when a block has been decked, and I believe that was done here.  After further inspection, I found two decals on the passenger side of the block indicating it was a Four Star rebuilt.  It also had a production code, so I`m hoping I can research the number and get the engine information.  I will add that to the description if I am successful.   The transmission, I believe, is a Tremac T5 and shifts out fine.  I believe the clutch is heavy duty.  The rear end appears to be the stock 10 bolt.  The wheels are 15" Rally with 215/60/R15 front, and 235/60/R15 rear.  All the tires look great.  By the way, I asked the previous owner why, after putting so much time and effort into the car,  he was selling it.  He explained that he had found a tractor he wanted, but had to keep it in the garage, so the car had to go.  The car has a new front bumper, new radiator, new fuel tank, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, new door mirrors, new front windshield, and power disc brakes (drum rear).  Now, the items needed.  It has no headliner, is missing the stock front seats (he bolted some black buckets with tracks out of a VW, (I think).  It is missing the heater controls and radio.  It needs carpet, a dash pad (cracked),  the rear parcel shelf cover, and glass moldings..  I have done my best to describe this car as it sits and apologize in advance if I have overlooked any important details.  I feel there is a very reasonable reserve on the car and know that it has the potential of being a great driver once completed.  As a matter of information for prospective bidders, the car sold on June 30th for $6600, but the sale was cancelled due to an international shipping issue.  It was relisted and sold again on July 14th, but the winning bidder never contacted me and didn`t respond to any of my emails or calls.  Please bid only if you truly hope to be the successful bidder and you are in a position to make arrangements for shipping.  Thanks, and good luck bidding!

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.
