This listing may initially appear to be the strangest way to list a car here on eBay that you have ever seen. Please read this entire description through very carefully so that you completely understand what I am attempting to do here. This listing is for a very special, exceptionally straight and damage free and reasonably solid 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 two door hardtop. The VIN number is shown in one of these photos. The first three digits of it are 138 which indicates that this car was indeed an SS or Super Sport car from the factory. I have been told that the more common 1967 Chevelle Malibu vehicles had a VIN number that started with 136 rather than 138. I believe this car came originally with a 4-speed manual transmission, bench seat, power steering and perhaps a few other factory installed options. This car is presently located at the home ranch which is 225 miles north of where I normally live and was when I started this listing. The initial photos show that the radiator, engine, clutch, transmission, rear axle, wheels, hood, windshield wipers, trunk lid, radio and several other parts are missing from this car. The original blue front bench seat is still in place. The original blue front seat upholstery is intact but is in poor condition. Both of the rear seat springs are included but were stored in the open in the trunk and have no upholstery material remaining on them. The original blue three spoke steering wheel is included and is shown in place on the steering column. Friday, January 25, I purchased some parts from a 1967 Chevelle from a wrecking yard near where I live. Those parts included a standard duty 10 bolt rear axle assembly, a standard Chevelle hood, both hood hinges with springs, a fair grille and 4 headlamps with the buckets. I have four yellow 14" wheels with fair tires and dog dish Chevrolet hubcaps that will fit this car and are included with it. On Saturday afternoon, January 26, I plan to take these parts to the home ranch east of Great Falls. I will then install the rear axle assembly and the four wheels on this car, load it on my trailer and haul it back to Bozeman where I live. I will then install the grille and hood and clean out the trunk and interior. I will then be able to take better photos that show the true condition of the front, rear and trunk floors as well as the other body panels. I will then upgrade the photos of this listing to the latest photos and lower the starting price to $1,995 so that the auction can begin. I have made this listing this way so that I can get exposure for this listing in the next few days and still be able to upgrade the photos with better photos. As soon as someone bids on an item here on eBay, the seller can no longer change or upgrade the photos on that listing. Please do not bid on this listing until I lower the starting price in a few days. I appreciate your patience while I retrieve this car from the home ranch and get my work done on this very collectible old Chevelle. This is not the only or the finest 1967 big block 1967 Chevelle Super Sport out there but it sure has a lot of potential. Not everyone can afford or even justify a nice one that costs $40,000 or more. Here is your chance to build a car the way you want it. I have reasonably secure outdoor storage in Bozeman and can store this car for a several months or more for free for the winning bidder while we arrange transportation if need be. Perhaps you are interested in making a trip to beautiful Montana this spring or summer and can pick this car up on your trip. I am happy to work with collectors from outside the USA and can arrange for shipment to an exporter on either the east coast or the west coast here in the USA. I will be applying for a Montana title on Monday and it usually takes about 3 weeks to get a clear and non-salvage Montana title for a car like this that has been neglected for many years. My cell phone is 406-799-1847 but I will be out of cell service for the later half Saturday, all of Sunday and part of Monday morning. The number for the land line at the home ranch for Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Monday morning is 406-737-4496. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn in Bozeman Montana Saturday January 25 at 10 PM : I now have the rear axle under this car and the rear wheels in place too as you can see in the first photo. The right front wheel is only setting in position in the first photo. I will be re-installing the coil springs in the front suspension Sunday so I can get the front wheels installed and upgrade more of these photos. Sunday January 26 at 11 PM : I worked all day on this car and was able to piece the front suspension together well enough to make it possible to move the car around and actually steer it with the steering wheel that is now mounted on the steering column. Both front coil springs were missing so I cut two 10-1/2" long pieces of 4" exhaust tubing and substituted them for the missing coil springs. The driver's side went together fine but the ball joint on the passenger's side had the ball pulled out of the socket. I put the ball back in the socket and tied the joint together with heavy wire. As I was later cleaning out the trunk, I found a good usable ball joint that someone removed from another car at some time. That used ball joint is included with this car. I found what appears to be a very good usable power steering gear in the trunk so I bolted it in place and hooked up the steering linkage to the pitman arm. I installed the original blue three spoke steering wheel that came with the car. A power steering pump was also in the trunk but I have no engine to install it on so it is included with this project car. Now this car rolls on it's four wheels and steers well enough to make moving it around much easier and safer. Later today, two friends and I installed the hood hinges and the regular Chevelle hood that I bought a couple of days ago. I must have been tired or half asleep when I bought that hood because it has several tiny rust holes at the top of the very front surface. The car that this hood came from was quite rusty so I should have been more careful when buying a sheet metal part like a hood. This evening I spent quite a bit of time installing the four headlamp bucket assemblies. About a third of the original very fragile plastic adjusting screw receptacles that the headlamp adjusting screws screw into were not broken so I used one on each of the headlamps. Whoever gets this project will have to buy 8 new plastic adjusting screw receptacles as well as 4 new small coil springs that hook into the headlamp buckets. A pair of good headlamp bezels were in the trunk so I tied them into place because the plastic receptacles that the two retaining screws screw into were missing. I also installed the fair original grille that I bought a couple of days ago. I found all four of the front bumper brackets so I installed the marginal front bumper using the pair of inner brackets only at this time. I cleaned out the trunk and took a couple of photos of the rusty trunk floor and added them to this listing. Trunk floors in cars like this do not normally rust out very much here in relatively dry Montana. This car probably sat with no trunk lid on it for sometime between 10 and 30 years so that is why the trunk floor has some holes in it. Tomorrow I hope to tackle cleaning up the interior so I can get some better photos of it and upgrade the photos already on this listing. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn Monday January 27 at 11 PM : I am sorry for no progress on this car today. I spent all day dealing with my elderly Aunt and her medical and estate problems. Tomorrow should be a better day for more progress on this car. Tuesday January 28 at 2 AM : Today was better than Monday. I removed the front seat, carpets and all material from the front and rear floors so that I could examine the floors carefully for rust and get photos of them for you to view. I was hoping to find at least remnants of the build sheet under the front seat but found none. The rear seat cushions had been outside for many years so the upholstery was almost all gone from them. I did find remnants of rear seat upholstery in the trunk and found the two chrome plated die-cast ornaments that go on the backrest of the rear seat so they are included in the pile of loose parts. As you can see from the four photos, the floors inside the car are in excellent condition except for two tiny rust holes. One is about 1/8" in diameter and is located under the left rear quarter window. The other is about the same size and is located on the left front area approximately under the left edge of the glove box door. Both of these holes are hard to see unless one looks very closely. I suspect that each hole has about 2 or 3 inches of weak metal around it that should be cut out and replaced. I weigh 210 pounds so I walked around inside the car and found no weak areas in the floor anywhere. I washed the dash, seat and all interior panels and installed the front seat assembly so that I could take photos of the interior. We have a winter storm on the way so I loaded the car on my trailer and hauled it back to Bozeman where I live most of the time. Thanks for your continued patience while I work more on this listing. Bob Woodburn Wednesday January 29 at 5 PM : The storm has not arrived yet so I took the best exterior photos I have of this car here in Bozeman this afternoon. I think I am done with updating photos so I am going to work a bit on this description before I lower the bid price to $1,995 and let the bidding begin.

What car should James Robertson buy to drive his famous 21-mile commute?
Thu, Feb 5 2015The Internet has been abuzz this week with the story of Detroit resident James Robertson, the 56-year-old factory worker who has walked some 21 miles to work for the last 10 years. The Detroit Free Press brought Robertson's story to the fore, helping an online fundraising campaign to generate more than $275,000 (as of this writing). The original goal was just $5,000, or about enough to replace the used Honda that died on Robertson back in 2005, and left him walking. So, newly flush with funds, what's the perfect car for Robertson to buy? Let's look at the specifics of his situation, and try to pick out the best options. Here's what we know: Robertson's commute is (famously) 21 miles; he lives in downtown Detroit (for now) and seems pretty humble, so something very flashy is probably out; former Honda aside, his ties to the city (and statements about being a Ford fan) seem to indicate a Detroit Three company product is best; he's a single guy with a girlfriend; he's got to deal with Michigan weather, and the sometimes fickle snow removal processes in The D. Here are some choices: Ford F-150 Robertson is on record as being a Taurus fan, and after a decade of walking I've no doubt that the big sedan would offer a cozy respite. Still, as a car guy and a student of the industry, I'd have a hard time recommending a sedan so clearly in need of replacement. Especially when The Blue Oval has such great stuff within the rest of its roster. The 2015 F-150 seems almost perfect for Robertson. Opting for either of the new EcoBoost V6 engines should help keep fuel bills in reasonable check, while healthy ride height and four-wheel drive will get him to work on time even during the snowiest of snow days. Better still, with a fat options sheet and car-like ride quality, Robertson can have just about every amenity he might want, in a package that won't disrespect his blue-collar roots. Chevrolet Colorado You guys saw this one coming, right? The smaller footprint of the midsize Chevy pickup, relative to some of the other options here, should be an advantage for urban parking and driving. And again, 4x4 is an option for the nasty weather, the running costs should stay pretty low and there aren't many tech/luxury features that can't be had in-cabin. I'd go ahead and splash out on the Crew Cab bodystyle, too, just in case Robertson feels like starting a carpool.
2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD reportedly getting mammoth torque
Wed, Sep 15 2021Chevrolet just gave the light-duty Silverado a significant round of updates. It hasn't detailed the changes it has in store for the heavy-duty model yet, but a recent report claims the truck will arrive with significant engine upgrades. Without citing sources, website TFL Truck reported that the current pickup's 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 will return in the updated model. Its displacement won't increase, but its output will reportedly grow to 505 horsepower and a mammoth 1,085 pound-feet of torque. To put those figures into perspective, the 6.6-liter makes 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of twist in the 2022 Silverado HD; GMC's Sierra HD is available with it as well. Bumping the Duramax's output is a way to keep up with the competition. Arch nemesis Ford offers buyers who have extremely heavy things to tow 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque from a 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8. Over at Ram, the most powerful engine available in a heavy-duty truck posts numbers of 420 and 1,075, respectively. If the report is accurate, Chevrolet will enviably take the horsepower and the torque crowns in the segment. What remains to be seen is what effect the increases will have on the Silverado's towing capacity. As of writing, it's capable of towing up to 36,000 pounds (approximately 15 times the weight of a 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata). Moving out of the engine bay, the 2023 Silverado HD will receive an updated exterior design that will again help differentiate it from the smaller, light-duty model. We're expecting the next round of updates will also bring new tech features, and it's reasonable to assume that the trim structure will evolve; Chevrolet might notably shift the HD in a more outdoorsy direction to satisfy a growing demand for off-road-focused trucks in the United States. None of this is official; Chevrolet is keeping its lips sealed about the updated Silverado HD. Full details will likely emerge in the coming months, and sales are tentatively scheduled to start in time for the 2023 model year.
Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
