1982 Muscle Car, Purple, Sb 350, Price Dropped on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
I purchased this former drag car on ebay from North Carolina in 2010 for $4K. Since that time it has been garage-kept and had about 200 miles put on it. Car runs and drives fantastically; selling because I've had a job change that requires a more sensible in-town vehicle for hauling things. Would consider trade for late-model wagon. PREVIOUS OWNER: Installed a remanufactured and bored-over SB350 (upgraded interior parts including Big Mother Thumpr cam, long-tube headers, Edelbrock intake), TH350 trans, air-bag rear suspension, removed vinyl from top, painted car "Burple" (blue/purple candy). I HAVE ADDED: Incubus Overlord 523 Chrome 20x9 5x114 5x120 10-74.1 Nitto Neo Gen 235/30/20 All Season 280 AA/A 88w (nitrogen) Wheel-locking bolts IAS Performer Shocks (front) Grant steering wheel 13-1/2 purple Hood pins with torsion clip Oil pan, oil pickup and oil pump Be Cool Wheels Crossflow aluminum radiator, all new braided steel hoses Corbeau Sport Seat (x-wide) driver seat, passenger Summit Racing Sport black All new AutoMeter Phantom II gauages (speedo, tach, oil, water, voltage, oil temp, air/fuel) StreetFire Distributor and Street Fire Ignitor Spectre Dual Cold Air intake kit Hurst V-Matic 2 shifter E3 spark plugs Harwood fiberglass Pro Touring Series bolt-on hood Summit Racing dual exhaust and mufflers New turn signal lever, switches, springs New heater core New stereo, amplifier, subwoofer, speakers New carpet, headliner, spark plug wires, many other minor parts CAR COMES WITH (NOT YET INSTALLED): New Holley carb (650 cfm) and jet kit; back wheel spacers (if back is to be lowered or substantial weight in trunk wheel spacers will be needed); black dash cover and installation kit (interior has been transformed from maroon to black about 80%; doors and back seat need to be dyed). Again, car runs and drives great as-is. Project is NOT showroom complete but for a daily driver that looks really cool and hauls a** this car is ready to go. Paint job is not perfect; has orange peel and scratches which need work. Front bumper has tiny hole/crack on driver's side (not structural, just needs putty to fix). Car does NOT currently have catalytic converters, check your local/state emissions laws (Illinois does not require emissions tests for 25+ year old vehicles). I've put thousands into this car and now I have to let it go. PRICE WILL NOT BE LOWERED FROM CURRENT POINT. Payment methods (or trade) negotiable. You pick it up or ship it. Happy to answer any questions, test drive video, anything you want.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
