Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Original Interior, just one cigarette burn in the bench seat."

NOTE:  In the product details it says "Drive Type: U/K".   I don't know if that implies "unknown" or if that means "United Kingdom".  But it wouldn't let me create my listing unless I selected that.  Just to be clear: the steering wheel is on the left-side, and it is a completely United States car.

I bought this car 3 years ago for my son, did some work, he ended up not driving it.  Don't have time to drive it myself, so it's sitting in a storage garage.  On top of that, I have another one I want to restore, so I have to sell this one to make room.

This is a nice looking, mostly original car that starts/runs/drives extremely good.  After sitting in storage for a two-month stretch it starts right up.  This is NOT a show-car restoration by any means, but it does look nice and is fun to drive.  We did have a body shop repair some minor rust and dings and paint it three years ago with PPG basecoat/clearcoat.  Haven't touched it since, and it looks pretty good, but it could use some buffing now and it would be even better.

New stuff I installed:

  • Edelbrock carb and air cleaner
  • HEI distributor
  • Plugs & wires
  • Alternator
  • Windshield
  • Tie rod ends and other stearing linkage parts.
  • Rear transmission seal.
  • Front brakes - pads and calipers.  Rear brakes checked, they're good.
  • Tires are still nearly new, as you can see in the pictures.
Engine was rebuilt recently, but before I bought it, so I don't have any details.  Runs great and doesn't burn any oil.  New dual exhaust sometime not too long before I bought it. 

Problems:
  • Has one cigarette hole in the front seat, otherwise interior is in excellent shape - headliner in great shape, no cracks in the dash.
  • Shifter linkage (on the column) is a little sloppy, probably needs to be tightened up.  But it works.
  • It's got an aftermarket radio in the dash, but it doesn't work.
Between originally buying it and all the new stuff, I've got over $9000 in it.  Reserve is set lower than that, but I hope to at least get back some of the money I put into it.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
