Up for sale in El Paso,Texas is this true1970 Chevelle ss.This is a very nice car. It runs and drives very nice! It is a factory automatic vinyl top car with power steering and power disc brakes. I am amazed at how nice this car runs. I own other classic cars,but this Chevelle runs better than all of them ! The steering is great and this car runs straight and true. The suspension has been redone including the rear coil springs. Both the front and rear shocks are new as well. It has a new master cylinder, and new disc pads. This car stops on a dime. The interior on the car is in real good condition for its age. The door panels, headliner and carpet are original. The dash is also original and has never been cut out to upgrade the stereo. The seats and carpet do need attention. I think once that is taken care of, the interior will look good as new. The electrical system on this car is in great shape as well. All the headlights,turn signals,brake lights,dash lights, interior dome light,trunk light and reverse lights work!!! The horn works as well. The gauge cluster is also in good working order. The best part of this is that it is original !!! One important topic to discuss are the floors and trunk area on this car. It is in very solid shape for its age. It had been undercoated years ago, and that actually saved this car from rusting ! Some of this old undercoat is still under the car. I started removing it,but have not had the chance to sand blast and add new undercoat. This is why I call this Chevelle a survivor, and it holds true to this name. Now i know on the rear passenger quarter panel i did find a rust spot.Its not bad, but will need to be fixed. Over all, Its a solid car. The exterior of the car is a gun metal gray. This car was originally silver. I bought this car with this paint job on it. I did plan to re-paint the car the original silver with the black stripes but never got the chance to do so. The paint job on this car is driver quality. It is not a show car paint job, but you can enjoy the car as it is and not have to worry about dings and scratches like you would if it was a show car ! The door and quarter windows roll up and down great. They are soft and smooth. The grill, bumpers and stainless are original and look pretty nice for its age. The doors ,trunk and hood are aligned really nice as well. This chevelle has a 350 010 block with headers, flowmaster exhaust, msd ignition, edelbrock intake and a holley 4 barrel carburetor. The engine is nicely detailed in chrome. It has the original th400 automatic transmission and the original 12 bolt differential. The Chevelle does not have the original big block. It got lost over the years.This is your chance to buy a real ss that does not need much.It is not a fully restored car. It is a quality driver. They are one of the most sought after muscle cars in the world. I will admit to you that I do not want to sell my baby, but I purchased a new home and my priority's have changed. You are more than welcome to ask any questions you may have. I can be reached at 915-630-2034. You are more than welcome to have Ebay inspect this vehicle. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due upfront. This car is sold in as is condition with no warranty or refund. This is a great opportunity for you to own a REAL SS CHEVELLE !!!! Again, any questions will be answered at 915-630-2034. Ask for Jacob. Thank you so much for looking and good luck !!!!

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
