Chevelle 1970 Big Block 454 Restomod 3 Speed Auto W/ Cool Air on 2040-cars
Rockville, Maryland, United States
This 1970 Big Block 454 RestoMod has had a tremendous
overhaul done to it and has been garage kept in a temperature regulated
garage. The recent restoration was completed January, 2013. As soon
as the car was delivered, the entire interior was stripped. All new
floors were welded throughout the vehicle along with a complete new
undercoat. The car was then lined with custom cut Dynamat material
throughout all the floors, doors and trunk. Custom fabricated shoulder
seatbelts were installed in the front and rear of the car. Then, the
seats all received new cushion and a special paint was applied. The
wiring was redone where needed. A new steering crank shaft was installed
along with a 1970 SS steering wheel. The AC unit was checked and fully
functioning. A new Retro classic style head unit was installed along with
2, 4x6 JBL speakers as well as 2, 6x9 JBL speakers in the rear. 2 Amps with
a 10” subwoofer were custom fit in the trunk along with all wiring. New
door handles and window crank shafts were installed as was the rear deck
meshing. The 3 speed shifter was rewired along with all wiring to front
and rear lights as well as reverse lights. The interior was then
reassembled with updated headliner, door panels and carpet. It was then
onto adding 4 disc brakes, shocks and springs. An air-ride suspension was
installed along with an adaptor in the trunk to raise or lower the suspension.
An entire new fuel line from front to back was assembled as was a new rear
axle, front and rear suspension with a Posi differential. The chrome,
large off-set AmericanRacing rims were installed on the vehicle. Inside
the engine, the engine was tested, everything was properly aligned, and a new
battery and battery wiring was complete. All new cabeling with heat wraps
were installed for protection from this massive engine. Additionally, a
new, large, chrome alternator was installed to handle the power this car
outputs. The horn was customized with an Dixie trumpet air horn inside the
front grill. All bulbs outside the Chevelle were replaced as was the
front hood latch. The final step besides the MasterFlo duel exhaust, was
to add an Electronic Muffler Bypass, or cutout with an electronic switch.
This allow you to not only increase the air outflow but sound from this beast
of an engine. Windows and window trim was tested and resealed where
necessary. Many other little tweaks were also done along the way.
The engine and paint were complete prior to me purchasing the car however
I have kept it garage kept and fully washed and waxed at all times. If
you are looking for an amazing on the frame restauration where no expense was
spared on updating a 1970 Chevelle Big Block 454 with a 3 speed 400 Trany, then
this is the car for you.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
