Petersburg, Virginia, United States

Re-listed with Buy it now and best offer -  Up for sale is a 1965 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 2 door coupe . It has a clean VA Title.

This car was purchased in Feb of this year for a restoration-mod project - but I've decided to sell it to help buy a piece of land that I want. Too many wanted things in life - not enough paycheck.
Car has had extensive work done to it already - it has no rot through on the frame, the trunk pan has been done, and all floor pans are in excellent shape, this is not a 'basket case" rusted out hulk. With an estimated 5-6000.00 dollars in work this car will be drivable, add in a paint job and it'll be show ready.  The car was originally Thaitan Blue from the factory, and a VIN decode shows it as being built in Framingham MA. I'm not a big fan of "clones" but this car would also make a great candidate to do a Z16 clone.

Car is located in Petersburg VA and could possibly remain at the shop it is at for restoration  - I make no promises or guarantee that it can- that is between you and the shop owner!!

The original engine was an inline 6 - it is long gone, and does not come with the car. Car will come with a 1999 5.7 Vortec style GM 4 bolt main block with roller cam (880 casting number) that has been recently totally rebuilt for an output of an estimated 360-380 HP and is 90% ready to go into the car. The engine comes with a set of GM Cast Iron Vortec style heads installed. An Edelbrock Intake is included as well. If you are not interested in the Engine - then let me know I will adjust the price of the car.

Car has a 3.08:1 rear gear in it - based on research. It was an original 2 speed automatic (Powerglide) car.
Car does NOT come with a transmission - I have not gotten that far with it as of yet.

Included in this auction  will be the following items:

A brand new complete bumper to bumper American wiring harness is included with this auction that was purchased from Summit for the project

A Brand new custom Billet dash insert from Bose Engineering with Speed, Tach, Oil, Amps, & Water Temp gauges is included with this project.

A Freshly rebuilt Holly 650 Carb is included with this project.

Rims and tires in the pictures are in excellent shape and are included with this auction.

Body molding / Trim is there and all glass but the front windshield is there.

2 Heated / Power leather trimmed seats from a 2012 Malibu are included with this auction. Keep them for a restro-mod style project or sell them to help offset the costs of replacing the interior. The car still has the original back seat but the front seat is no longer with the car.

A complete set of (16) Scorpion Roller Rockers are included to help finish up the 5.7L Engine build.

New - still in the box Proform Chrome valve covers with the Chevrolet Bow Tie on them are included with this auction.

Many more pictures are available to anyone who wishes to see them, simply send a message via E-bay and I will be more than happy to send you as many pictures as I have.

At the buy it now price of 8K I will provide 250.00 for shipping if you need the car shipped.

This car is for sale locally - I reserve the right to end this auction if the car sells before auction ends.

Feel free to ask questions - I will answer them as fast as possible - and good luck  !!

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
