Thank you for taking a look at my 1970 Chevelle. Please read this listing carefully and in its entirety. I will attempt to describe this vehicle in as much detail as possible. However, if you have any questions at all, please ask prior to bidding. I have 100% positive feedback and I plan to keep it that way.

You are looking at a very solid 1970 Chevelle. It is a 350ci/350 automatic, 10-bolt rear, power steering, front disc brakes. I bought this car planning to give it a light refurb. A new hood led to fenders off…which led to doors off…which led to new hinge bushings…which led to the need for weather strip replacement….which led to “oh let me fix this small spot in the quarter panel”…which led to me cutting both sides out of the car and replacing with fresh steel. Long story short, I got caught up in the "if you are going to do it, do it right" mentality, but now it is time for her to find a new home.

The new stuff….

Front Bumper from OPG

Rear bumper from OPG (I also have black SS bumper pad, but I have not installed it)

Left and right side Quarter panels

Cowl Induction hood

New Paint - jams, under hood, under deck lid, trunk floor

Hood pin kit

All weather stripping - doors, quarter windows, upper roof edge, trunk lip, and hood seal.

Door hinge bushings - no sagging...doors shut very solid.

Left and right door handles

Left and right side mirrors

15x8 American Racing Torque Thrust II’s

Front disc brake calipers and pads

Carpet

Right front floor pan

If you want to have something ready for the spring cruise-ins that you can drive and enjoy then look no further. This car is awesome driver quality that could easily be made into a full SS clone.

The interior features bucket seats and a console with the horse shoe shifter. As I mentioned, the carpet is new. The dash pad is in really good condition as well as the door panels. There are some imperfections in the glass, but not bad at all for a 40 year old car. Overall the interior is in great driver condition, though you may not win the Concours d'Elegance with it.

The previous owner went through the engine. I was told that all seals and gaskets were replaced. It has a Demon carb with electric choke. HEI distibutor. Two pumps of the pedal and she fires right up. I don’t know the specs, but it sounds like it has a mild cam. Engine is very sound.

I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible without downplaying the fact that it is an awesome classic. Thank you for taking the time to look and read through my ad. Good luck and happy bidding!

If you have very few, poor, or no feedback please contact me before bidding. Failure to do so will result in you bid being canceled.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements.

I have a clear title in hand.

Payment must be in person in cash or by bank fund transfer.

I have uploaded a video of the vehicle at cold idle on youtube. Please follow the link to view:

Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns

Wed, May 4 2016

These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
