1973 Chevelle SS 454

Very few in the country like this one

Let me start out by saying that this is a “REAL”   1973 RPO Code Z15 SS Chevelle 454 Big Block survivor car with 400 automatic transmission and factory A/C. GM only produced 2100 of these cars in this configuration and this was the last year of a big block Chevelle. How many do you think still exist in original condition? This would be a great candidate for a full restoration and  is the next generation of collectable Muscle cars on the rise.

This car is VIN # 1D37Y3B405743

The Exterior appears to be original paint and has all the correct SS equipment available on Malibu 2 door coupe (1AD37)

This Includes:  Black painted grill, SS grill emblems, lower body side and wheel opening  stripes, SS fender emblems, SS end panel, Body color racing style mirrors, bright drip moldings and black painted tail lamp surrounds with bright trim ring.

The body appears to be completely solid and does not appear to have ever been in an accident. There is some minor surface looking rust in the lower rocker panels and the front drivers side fender has a few dents.

Interior: Round instrument cluster with tach and performance gauges, black trim bezel, door trim SS emblems and SS horn shroud, factory A/C and AM radio with 8 track player. The interior is also original to the car and in need of restoration. 

***NOTE***  The buyer of this car will also receive a bonus pair of correct swivel bucket seats along with the center console, correct SS shifter knob and shifter to convert this car to bucket seats.

Chassis: The underside of the car is not rusted and all the floor pans are solid and in good condition. The car has its original GM 14X7 Rally wheels with special center caps (color keyed with SS stripes). The SS also came with special front and rear suspension.

Additional notes about the car:  Complete tune up on engine, A/C compressor and brackets put back on. (needs compressor repaired), New exhaust installed April 2014, Cracked dash pad replaced with NOS 73 Chevelle pad.

The car starts and runs excellent. The motor is very smooth and the transmission shifts through all gears as it should. The car has been driven about 1200 miles without issue since tuned.

The A/C needs a compressor, Freon and hoses.

The paint has been looked at by 3 experts and all agree it is the original factory paint.

The windshield has been cracked and will need to be replaced but all other glass is fine.

This car comes with original brochures and owner’s manual.

Conclusion: This is a real 73 SS 454 bigblock Chevelle in survivor condition. The car runs and drives fine and has been driven several hundred miles recently. The car comes with spare interior parts to convert to a bucket seat car with center console. It’s an A/C car but needs parts and repair. The car is solid with the only real rust through being in the rear tail panel.

This vehicle belongs to a friend of mine that lives in Tennessee as well as Anderson SC. He has asked for my help listing his rare car on eBay.  The car is currently stored in Anderson SC.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus

Fri, Jun 16 2023

General Motors sold second- and third-generation Suzuki Cultuses with Geo or Chevrolet Metro badging in the United States from 1989 through 2001 model years, and we've all seen plenty of those cars on the street over the years. The first-generation Cultus was sold here as well, with Chevrolet Sprint badges, and I've found a rare example of the Sprint five-door hatchback in a Northern California car graveyard. The Chevy Sprint first appeared on the West Coast as a 1985 model, then became available everywhere in the United States for the 1986 through 1988 model years (in Canada, it was sold as the Pontiac Firefly). It was available here as a hatchback with three or five doors; for 1986 only, the five-door was badged as the Sprint Plus. Soon enough, The General would be selling many more Asian-built cars with Detroit badges here. Isuzu I-Marks were sold as Chevrolet/Geo Spectrums starting in the 1986 model year, while Daewoo provided the Pontiac LeMans two years later. Under the hood, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 48 horsepower. The five-door Sprint cost $5,580 in 1986, which was $200 more than the three-door (those prices would be $15,445 and $14,891 in 2023 dollars). I've documented seven discarded Sprints prior to this one (including an extremely rare Turbo Sprint), and all of them were three-doors; we can assume that price was the most important factor for Sprint buyers. Gasoline prices were crashing hard during the middle 1980s, but memories of gas lines and odd-even-day fuel rationing from 1979 remained strong. What cars competed with the '86 Sprint on sticker price? Well, there was no way to undercut the hilariously affordable (and terrible) Yugo GV, which cost $3,990. The much bigger (but still pretty bad) Hyundai Excel listed at $4,995, while Toyota would sell you a sturdy (but zero-fun) Tercel starting at $5,448. Even the wretched Chevy Chevette — yes, it was still available in 1986 — cost $5,645. The original buyer of this car was willing to shell out an extra $395 to get an automatic instead of the base five-speed manual. That's about $1,093 in today's money. This car must have been slow. By the end, the doors were held shut with duct tape, but it still stayed alive until age 37. 53 miles per gallon on the highway! It does everything. The camels of the highway.

GM to invest $150 million in Flint to boost heavy-duty pickup production

Thu, Jun 13 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors President Mark Reuss said on Wednesday that the automaker is investing about $150 million at its Flint Assembly plant in Michigan to boost production of heavy duty trucks by another 40,000 vehicles a year. Reuss announced the investment at the Flint truck assembly plant wearing a United Auto Workers pin. The Detroit automaker had announced back in February it was adding 1,000 jobs in Flint to build a new generation of heavy-duty pickup trucks. GM did not say that the latest investment would add more jobs at the plant, but Reuss said there could be opportunities to add workers as the launch of the automaker's new trucks progresses. GM has been under pressure from President Donald Trump and lawmakers of both parties to add jobs in the United States after it said last November it would idle the Chevy Cruze assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and likewise had no new products for three other U.S. manufacturing plants. The Flint investment will include upgrades to the plant's conveyors and other new tooling, and will be completed in the first half of 2020. GM has invested more than $1.6 billion in the plant since 2013. Last month, GM said it would invest $24 million to increase truck production at its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which makes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM's Chevrolet and GMC brands have long trailed Ford's F-series heavy duty trucks in the lucrative segment. The new Chevrolet and GMC heavy duty trucks have been re-engineered to tow heavier trailers, and keep pace in what has become an arms race among the Detroit Three automakers to claim superior torque and towing capability.
