Up for auction is a chevelle you dont see very often. A Real deal fully documented SS 396 that was not restored. This car is fresh out of hibernation for 20+ years. Sold new out of Steve Ferrara Chevrolet in Penns Grove new jersey to David Arnold of Elsmere Delaware. He walked in on March 2nd and put down a 10 dollar deposit and came back the next day with the balance and his old 64 pontiac for trade. I have all the documentation to prove this along with the sales order,original protectoplate,cancelled checks and reciepts!!! Also have lots of reciepts from work he had done to it at the dealer later in its life.This car is also a canada built car so the SS option along with the 4 speed is on its original trim tag as you will see in the pics. It shows the Z25 option which is for the SS396 pkg and the M20 for the 4spd along with the bucket seats and console so The documentation is bulletproof. The car has its [BORN WITH] 396-350HP ENGINE [CTX] code along with the vin number on it and numbers matching from the 205 quadrajet to the [KF]331 positraction axle. drivetrain has never been apart or out of the car. It runs great and drives well even on 35 year old Goodyear polyglas tires. The clutch is chatter free and smooth and brakes are excellent. I drove it home 75 miles on the hiway is rush hour traffic and it drove great. Its a very tight feeling car. Everything works as it should and it didnt run hot and the tach works along with the am radio. It has one very old repaint and there is a little rust coming thru on the passenger quarter Panel but thats about it. It could really use a new paint job down the road but you can drive it way it is for now. Interior is completly original.Only 1 rip in the drivers seat outer bolster but i have another cover for it from another survivor car to keep it more authentic looking. The repro seat cover are horrible and the color is not correct so this is the way to keep it original in my book. Option are as follows, tinted glass,Bucket seats,Door edge guards,Center console,Positraction with 331 gears,M20 4speed trans,am radio,rear speaker,SS 396 Equipment and full instrumentation including the 5500 Redline tachometer. Car is ugly under the hood but it is a timecapsule and you can restore it to your likeing. Please call 267-246-6903 to set up an appointment to see and drive it first. call to talk and i will give you a walk around description before you bid to make sure its what you want. Thanks for looking.......I have more pics of the undercarriage and engine compartment and close ups of anything else you want to see.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

Motor Trend reveals 2016 Chevy Camaro as Car of the Year

Tue, Nov 17 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro beat some very steep competition to earn the Golden Calipers as Motor Trend's Car of the Year. The magazine praised the sixth generation's fantastic engines, great handling, and lighter platform. "Our 2016 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Camaro, is one of the finest driving vehicles in the world at any price," editor-in-chief Edward Loh said, "though its price is well within reach of the average consumer." The Camaro conquered some high-performance challengers to take the victory, including the Audi TT, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Mercedes AMG GT S. It also bested technologically cutting-edge vehicles like the BMW 7 Series and Toyota Mirai. The latest Honda Civic rounded out the competition. To earn the prestigious award, nine judges evaluated the finalists in six categories: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The Volkswagen Golf won last year. In an engaging story on Motor Trend's website, it explains what a revelation the new coupe is and that they consider the model the best production pony car ever. The piece is well worth a read. Motor Trend also handed out the Person of the Year honor to Subaru of America President and Chief Operating Officer Thomas Doll. It praised him for the Japanese brand's massive success in the US like tripling deliveries since 2007. "By any measure, the business Tom Doll leads is an outstanding success," editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie said. "And he is the person whose unique vision and quiet leadership made it happen."

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
