MUST SEE Restored to Show Condition, 3 Owner Southern Car, Factory Build Sheet, 84K Original Miles, 260 DETAILED PICS & HD VIDEO. Put together at the Baltimore GM Plant and delivered to Lustine Chevrolet, this Chevelle has been garaged its entire life in North & South Carolina by 3 private owners, including myself as one. My Chevelle is a classic example of flawless preservation and care. In the photos, I have presented the flawless, original, clean, and rust-free floor pans and interior sheet metal still painted the original Ascot Blue from the factory. Even the factory sound deadening material was perfectly in tact. The original build sheet was still housed under the rear seat, albeit in pieces. With the door and rear quarter window panels off, take a peak inside and throughout and I show near flawless sheet metal still in factory condition. It has a gorgeous, solid, original trunk pan and awesome unharmed sheet metal on the exterior, repainted to show quality in its original Ascot Blue color. The body is straight as an arrow. With near perfect original floor pans, it is restored and very clean underneath as well. Bound for a true collectors garage, it can easily take far beyond its selling price to get it to its current restoration quality and functionality. Hands down, this true 1971 Chevelle in its current condition is one of the cleanest and finest in these parts. Many dealer and owners can claim they have a clean 2nd generation Chevelle and advertise their cars as such but how do you really truly know what youre buying? I have provided photo after photo and a complete video of this car piece by piece to demonstrate just how clean this car really is. From drivetrain, to body, to interior this car drives, looks, and is preserved just as the engineers at GM would have wanted. Ill be sad to see her go but I am extremely proud of the condition of the car Im selling.

Other Features:
I personally rate the drivetrain a 9. It has a professionally built, balanced, and blueprinted 350 cubic-inch V8 easily running at 325-350HP (not the original motor) mated to the original turbo-hydramatic 350 (has the B162390 stamp on it to match the VIN) and the original 2.73:1 GH code 10-bolt rear end. It is a really nice balance of street power and good fuel economy and is perfectly synchronized even to 90mph + with great throttle response. Modern upgrades include electronic ignition, Holly 650 CFM carburetor, Holley Aluminum Intake, mild cam, headers, roller rockers and glass pack dual exhaust. It is all housed in a very clean, restored engine compartment.
I personally rate the body and paint a 9. The body is very straight due to the solid original sheet metal. Professionally repainted back to the original Ascot Blue. I have waxed this car over and over and have yet to find even 1 chip in the paint. Nicely painted underneath the trunk and hood and in all jams. It is one step below Barret Jackson showroom quality, which means you can still win your class at any car show without the stress of having to be an absolute trailer queen. Non-factory add-ons include the vinyl top, white racing stripes, and cowl hood. I have the original hood in near perfect condition if someone desires to eliminate the SS-only stripes.
I personally rate the interior an 8.5. The beige interior color is a perfect complement to the Ascot Blue exterior. Very hard to find interiors this clean and well put together with only minute flaws. The smallest details in excellent condition are what set it apart.
Factory C60 code A/C (per build sheet) and Heat (A/C taken out for service/charging when I photographed the car. The unit is complete)
Factory Power Steering
Factory Power Brakes
Mechanical items (See Video) from speedometer to fuel gauge to lights to door handles to locks to windows to wipers, to heater, etc. all work
All exterior chrome trim is in excellent condition, including front and rear bumpers.
Very few miles on the Cooper Cobra radial tires sitting on perfect Keystone Mag Wheels
The glass on this car is flawless and contains no scratches. There is a tiny crack on the front windshield the size of a small marble from a rock.
Weatherstripping and seals are flawless.
Suspension and brakes are all operational and the car drives extremely straight and smooth.
VIN 136371B162390
Original transmission code stamped w/ partial VIN B162390. Build sheet also has CBC TRAN on it, which is the Chevrolet-Buick Combined 350 so this was a factory 350 and the original is still on the car
Rear axle code stamped GHC0402, which stands for GH=2.73:1 ratio 10-bolt, C= Ohio Plant, 040 = 40th day of the year (February 9), 2 = 2nd shift. Build sheet also has the common G97 code and says 273 ratio axle next to it.
Engine code I cannot tell what car this engine came out of. The engine stamp and associated partial VIN looked to have been decked during the machining process when the motor was being put together. It is a 74 block.
Other build sheet options: U35 code electric clock, U63 AM Radio, and U76 Antenna in windshield, power steering, C60 Air Conditioning.

I know that few, if any, sellers will show this much sheet metal and detail upfront but Ive been a buyer/bidder and always wished I could REALLY TRULY know what I was getting upfront. I HAD 260 PHOTOS POSTED IN THE AD BUT THEY WERE SLOWING DOWN THE AD TOO MUCH. INSTEAD IVE POSTED 25 PHOTOS HERE AND 260 COMPLETE AND DETAILED PHOTOS (4 PAGES) ON FLICKR. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO VIEW THESE PICTURES IF YOU WANT TO BID ON THE CAR - ESPECIALLY THE LAST PICTURES, WHICH SHOW THE FACTORY SHEET METAL AND FLOOR PANS. http://www.flickr.com/photos/78972186@N06/sets/72157639129950323/

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details. As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate). Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
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.
Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter. Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing. If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
