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.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

GM seatbelt recall affects over 1m Silverados and Sierras

Fri, Apr 15 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall 895,232 examples of the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the US. The campaign will also affect the trucks in markets worldwide, and the total number the company will recall is 1,037,982. The Problem: A steel cable connects the seatbelt to the vehicle, but over time repeated bending can cause the part to fatigue and separate. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will enlarge the side shield opening and install a pusher bracket on the tensioner. Technicians will also replace the entire tensioner assembly if necessary. If You Own One: GM will contact owners about the recall. The company hasn't said when those notifications would begin. More Information: There are still about 3,000 new examples of these older pickups at dealerships. Until mechanics fix the problem, these vehicles are subject to a stop-sale. Similar problems have affected the General's vehicles in the past. In 2015, the company recalled over 400,000 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu for fatiguing cables. It also hit over a million Lambda platform crossovers in 2014. GM Recalling Certain 2014-15 Pickups to Repair Seat Belts DETROIT – GM is voluntarily recalling 895,232 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in the United States because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat. This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue. For trucks in the field, dealers will enlarge the side shield opening, install a pusher bracket on the tensioner, and if necessary, replace the tensioner assembly. The recall in the United States includes a stop-sale of approximately 3,000 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers. Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at either https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ website or at https://my.gm.com/web/portal/ownercenter to see if their vehicle is part of the recall. GM also will voluntarily recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East.
