Chevelle 1970 Big Block 454 Restomod 3 Speed Auto W/ Cool Air on 2040-cars
Rockville, Maryland, United States
|
This 1970 Big Block 454 RestoMod has had a tremendous
overhaul done to it and has been garage kept in a temperature regulated
garage. The recent restoration was completed January, 2013. As soon
as the car was delivered, the entire interior was stripped. All new
floors were welded throughout the vehicle along with a complete new
undercoat. The car was then lined with custom cut Dynamat material
throughout all the floors, doors and trunk. Custom fabricated shoulder
seatbelts were installed in the front and rear of the car. Then, the
seats all received new cushion and a special paint was applied. The
wiring was redone where needed. A new steering crank shaft was installed
along with a 1970 SS steering wheel. The AC unit was checked and fully
functioning. A new Retro classic style head unit was installed along with
2, 4x6 JBL speakers as well as 2, 6x9 JBL speakers in the rear. 2 Amps with
a 10” subwoofer were custom fit in the trunk along with all wiring. New
door handles and window crank shafts were installed as was the rear deck
meshing. The 3 speed shifter was rewired along with all wiring to front
and rear lights as well as reverse lights. The interior was then
reassembled with updated headliner, door panels and carpet. It was then
onto adding 4 disc brakes, shocks and springs. An air-ride suspension was
installed along with an adaptor in the trunk to raise or lower the suspension.
An entire new fuel line from front to back was assembled as was a new rear
axle, front and rear suspension with a Posi differential. The chrome,
large off-set AmericanRacing rims were installed on the vehicle. Inside
the engine, the engine was tested, everything was properly aligned, and a new
battery and battery wiring was complete. All new cabeling with heat wraps
were installed for protection from this massive engine. Additionally, a
new, large, chrome alternator was installed to handle the power this car
outputs. The horn was customized with an Dixie trumpet air horn inside the
front grill. All bulbs outside the Chevelle were replaced as was the
front hood latch. The final step besides the MasterFlo duel exhaust, was
to add an Electronic Muffler Bypass, or cutout with an electronic switch.
This allow you to not only increase the air outflow but sound from this beast
of an engine. Windows and window trim was tested and resealed where
necessary. Many other little tweaks were also done along the way.
The engine and paint were complete prior to me purchasing the car however
I have kept it garage kept and fully washed and waxed at all times. If
you are looking for an amazing on the frame restauration where no expense was
spared on updating a 1970 Chevelle Big Block 454 with a 3 speed 400 Trany, then
this is the car for you.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt
Wed, Aug 13 2014With 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.
