Rustfree 1970 Chevelle 454 From Texas on 2040-cars
Rudyard, Michigan, United States
I am listing a 1970 Chevelle that I have owned for about 6 years or so and came from Texas. The car has a mid 70's 454 engine with dual exhaust posi traction rear end that has been totally rebuilt with carrier, bearings, gears etc. The engine runs well and is basically stock, car has corvette rally wheels all the way around. You will be very hard pressed to find a body as nice as this car has since the floors, frame, and trunk are all original as well as the rear quarters other then a repair behind the back wheels, the front fenders and front inner fenders are brand new Goodmark. The car has factory air conditioning but is not hooked up, has power steering and power brakes, rust free factory SS hood. The car is a factory bench car with column shift. I originally bought this car to convert to a SS car since I have a 70 that was wrecked in 1974 and only had 56000 miles on the 396 when it was crashed. The car was too far gone so I cut it up but kept all of the components critical for the SS and even have the title saying Supersport right on it from the State of Georgia. If someone is interested in buying what I have for the SS car I will sell it to the buyer of this auction. Keep in mind that the 70 SS car is not part of this auction but can be purchased separately after the auction. The 70 SS car was all original with matching numbers 396, turbo 400, 12 bolt with boxed control arms and sway bar, front disc brakes SS dash etc... The 70 up for auction was brought to a professional body / restoration shop and had the paint removed to the bare metal and was prepped and put into epoxy primer and then it had the acrylic hot rod black paint put on it. The front fenders are not completely lined up yet and need the inner fenders installed on the front still. I thought I would leave them off until I had it painted. The car had the glass removed and had all of the window jambs blasted and vinyl washed and had green pain blew in code 48. Code 48 was the forest green color on the 70 SS car. This car could be driven the way it is until you could afford to finish it or would be able to be painted within a week. The whole car has been blocked ready to paint except the doors as they will need some extra blocking due to some dents that were removed. The body is exceptional condition and is very clean. The car came factory with a 350 engine but was swapped out for the 454. I will require a 500 dollar deposit by paypal (non refundable) immediately after winning bid. I require full payment within 7 days from end of auction.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one
Thu, Feb 25 2016A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
