Chevrolet Chevelle Ss454 on 2040-cars
Beatty, Oregon, United States
My personal car... Purchased new in 1971 by a woman down the street from me when I was 10 years old. (I used to wash it for her for $.25) I bought it from her in 1981 when it had 64xxx miles. I did an exterior repaint and overhauled the original engine. The exhaust tips and a couple little pieces I bought new from my local Chevy dealer in '81. I didn't think about them being N.O.S. at the time because they were simply N.S.!! It was our daily driver until 1986 when my daughter was born. I had to sell it to pay for her. 82500 miles (I wanted to name her "Shavelle") I saw the car only once in the late 80's/early 90's at Super Chevy Sunday in Seattle where it took 1st Place out of 42 Chevelles. It had 4 careful owners who only drove it to shows or Sunday church...a total of 6500 miles in 12 years!! I was able to buy it back in '98 with just under 89000 miles. It was on consignment at a Porsche/Ferrari lot in Portland. Fast forward to now!! From new, this car has always been in a garage. So there has never been an opportunity for rust. Never hit, with original sheetmetal throughout. All pinch welds intact. It is hard to remember for sure all the details over the last 40 years, so you are welcome to inspect it. The undercarriage, under the hood, and in the truck and jams is original paint. Yes, still original paint underneath a little dirt. No rust!! One of the "sales pitches" the sales guy used when I called about it; This car has never had the shoulder harness seatbelts down. That was what I was told, and what I told the guy I sold it to. That's when I knew it was mine... Last summer I spun a bearing on the cam and when we went through the engine, I verified the numbers. It is completely numbers matching. Even the heads were built the same day. We put new bearings, rings, cam, etc, but this engine has never been bored :) Over the years I have taken a couple of minor liberties: I put on chrome original style valve covers, added a cd player in the glovebox and replaced the rear speakers, added HEI and a single wire alternator. However, I have all the original parts except the distributor. I also added an alarm with power locks, but no holes have been cut. The interior is original, but I seem to remember having the drivers seat repaired 30 years ago, not sure. It still has its original M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed and has a wonderful whine. I put in a new clutch and pressure plate while the engine was out. Original exhaust tips. California turbos (?) 373 posi rear, rebuilt at about 92k. One of the previous guys put a really tall gear in it that I just couldn't stand. Most of the pics are of the car with 17 inch KMC 502 directional wheels with Falken 275/50 series tires. I have no doubt this is one of the nicest original, unrestored 71's out there.

Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Tue, Apr 28 2020Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24. The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series. Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz.      View this post on Instagram          Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe
Fri, Feb 12 2016The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.
