You won't find a cleaner Chevelle that is a true original. Nearly everything on this car is from factory 1972 and in flawless original 32,000 miles condition. The few changes to the car are considered bolt on conversions and I have all necessary parts to convert this car back to 100% original condition

I have added a Flowmaster dual exhaust from the factory manifolds back, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's with less than 3000 miles on them. In 2009 I added brand new all steel chromed period correct Chevrolet Rally wheels with full metal center caps. Wheels alone were $2400 new for the set due to the “Chevrolet Motor Division” logo etched on the steel center caps which is OEM 1972 Chevrolet spec. The original owner replaced the AM radio with an AM/FM tape deck and added two rear speakers. I do have the original working AM radio, factory rear speaker and a new rear deck shelf if you wanted the interior back to 100% original. This car came new with steel wheels and hub caps and I have the original hub caps to go with the car as well.

This is a 350 Malibu package with an unmolested and never painted 350 V8 2 barrel carb and even the air cleaner decal is original. Runs like brand new with only 32,000 original miles and doesn’t burn or leak any oil at all even during heavy acceleration. I did remove and re-paint the valve covers in 2009. I also replaced the radiator in 2008 and found another factory radiator for this car still in the original box from 1972. Everything in the engine compartment is as clean as the day the car was made and has the original hood insulation.

The TH 350 transmission shifts flawlessly. I had a classic car mechanic in my area give the car a complete bumper to bumper diagnostic and everything was in perfect order. This car has no oil pan, Trans, rear main seal leaks or differential leaks.

Undercarriage was seal coated from the dealer and is not pealing. There is no rusting on the frame, suspension or gas tank and straps.

The interior is a standard bench seat automatic. No rips, no tears, carpet looks brand new and not frayed anywhere. Not a crack or bubble anywhere on the dash board and none of the plastic molding on the dash display is chipped, damaged or faded in any way. Floor mats are factory original to match the interior and look brand new. I can supply additional interior pictures upon request.

The pictures don't give the condition of the body and chrome justice. Paint and chrome are both 100% original with no dents, scratches, discoloration, and cracking or rust anywhere on or under the paint. The chrome all around the car has no pitting, pealing or rust. These cars were painted by hand in 1972 and there is a tiny factory paint overrun on the front fender which is only noticeable if you are told where to look. The original owner wanted a Heavy Chevy but couldn't afford the up charge so decided to have the signature stripe added before taking delivery. Stripe decal shows very little cracking and is very intact.

From new this car has been garage kept during winter months and has been very well taken care of since production 42 years ago. The oil has been changed every year in the fall and has been properly conditioned for climate controlled storage conditions year round. I also have a felt car cover included in the sale of this vehicle.

I will not reveal my reserve price since this is an auction but have a conservative "Buy it Now" price. I also have this car listed locally and it may sell without notice.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
