Here we go. The wife says I have too many toys, so I am listing my beloved Chevelle SS. This beautiful car was a 2 year, full, ground up restoration completed in 2010 and has under 3,000 miles on her. I have owned many nice, classic muscle cars over the years and this is truly the nicest and best driving classic I have seen in a good while. I am the second owner since the restoration. The car is a clone and was done perfectly as such. Now for the goodies. Most of the car was restored with brand new parts. That is to say that most of the car is new even though it's a 1970 muscle car. What parts are not new were reconditioned or rebuilt. The overall condition of the car is a 9.5 with the body being a 10 and the paint at a 9.0. The body is flawless and there isn't a speck of rust anywhere on this car. 100% rust free. It has new fenders, new quarter panels, new floor pan, new hood, new trunk deck lid, new bumpers, new front windshield, and new side view mirrors. All of the trim pieces look like new. It's just a spectacular car that would win almost any local car shows. Paint has been clear coated as well. This car needs absolutely nothing. Power steering and power assist brakes, and air conditioning. 


The interior is a solid 9 out of 10 as well. Most of the interior is also new with the exception of some original pieces like the instrument panel, column shift and blinker control. Everything on the car works, including the horns. It even has the original AM/FM radio 8 track player. I don't know if the 8 track player works because I don't have any 8 track tapes. New seats, new headliner, new carpet, new door panels. The seat belts are originals. The steering wheel is not new, but it is an SS wheel. The dash pad is new. 

The suspension is restored to stock. New springs, new shocks, new bushings, tie rods and ball joints. It drives like a real dream. Inside the car it's the most comfortable and quiet muscle car I have ever driven. A real pleasure to cruise in and drive. Inside the car you won't hear a single sound, like an annoying squeak or rattle sound. That's because this car was built right. 

The drive train is also spectacular. A big block, 454 cubic inch engine drives this sexy car with a Turbo Hydomatic 350 transmission and 4:11 gears in the 10 bolt rear end. It has way more power than anyone would ever need on the street. The rear end was installed with an Eaton posi traction unit. It's not a one legger. It has new tires and wheels. The tires are BFG Radial TA, P275R60/15 in back and P245R60/15 in front. The wheels are American Racing brand wheels. 

The 454 was balanced and blue printed and has .030 forged JE pistons, 9.5:1 compression ratio, big GM rods and a GM steel crankshaft. Indexed crankshaft .010, which is a very nice feature. Indexing is part of the blueprint process and is very important so that compression, because of deck height variation due to different stroke between rod journals, can change compression ratios between cylinders. Also swing (degrees apart between rod journals) will change the relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft. If you want more strength and longevity from your engine this is a must. The engine is kept cool with a 4 core radiator and a clutch fan with a proper shroud. It never overheats. 

The intake manifold is a new Edelbrock, Performer Air-gap 2 and on top sits a new Edelbrock 750 CFM carburetor. Melling oil pump installed. Hydraulic roller, Crane cam and Isky hydraulic lifters in the top end. Gross lift of the cam is .530/.540. GM oval port heads 049 with stainless steel valves. Crane valve springs and retainers and bronze valve guides. The exhaust has Hooker long tube headers with a 3" exhaust all the way to the tips. The exhaust pipes are aluminized. It even has some open exhaust cut-outs welded into the pipe behind the headers. The ignition system starts the car easily even in cold weather and comes with an HEI distributor and MSD spark plug wires. The car will not need any tuning. It's not running fat or lean and never produces any smoke at all. Oh, and the gas tank is new as well. There is so much awesome stuff that it's kind of hard to remember it all. 

Send me your email address and I will send you a link to watch two videos I have showing the car better than still photos can and allowing you the opportunity to hear the car's engine running. I also have many more pictures available than what I was able to post here. A tastefully done and lightly resto-modded car. Whoever wins this car will not be disappointed at all. She's a real beauty and a pleasure to drive. Bid hard and prosper.

The transmission is a TH400 (Turbo Hydromatic 400) and not the 350. I must of had a brain fart when I typed 350.

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs

Mon, Oct 2 2017

DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line

Thu, Feb 9 2017

While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.
