This is a very rare 1973 Chevelle SS 454 station wagon that belonged to the late Rick. I purchased it in Driggs, Idaho from his wife, who had moved out of state. From what I can tell only about 800-900 of these were made by GM and probably only a few have survived to this date. From his wife and a friend I have collected the following information. The car was driven, but the engine was going bad, so it was parked in a garage for several years with the intention of replacing the engine. A few years ago it was driven to a yard and covered with a tarp, and there it sat until his wife finally decided to sell. All tires were still inflated and the car was on blocks. The transmission fluid is clear and red and does not smell burnt. The engine oil is black, not brown, and not like sludge. The antifreeze is still in the radiator and is still green. The engine turns over freely by hand at the flywheel. It was last registered about 1994. The vehicle looks completely original. The exterior has a few rust spots, a few dents, and a bad bondo repair, but overall is in pretty good condition, nothing major. The interior seats need to be reupholstered. The floor pan looks OK. The door panels look pretty good for the age of the car, could probably keep these. The headliner looks good, but is brittle and dried out and should be replaced. The rear facing third row seat is in pretty good condition. The odometer shows about 79000, but I would guess that it has turned over. Rick had collected some replacement trim parts which will be included in the sale. The air conditioner compressor was removed and is with the car. This is a major restoration project.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing
Tue, Aug 14 2018We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
