WOW.....Insanely nice car at this price! I have for sale my 1971 Chevelle 454 SS in a NO RESERVE auction. I hate to part with it but need some money to put a pool in so she must go. A few of the details about the car to start.......The VIN and Body Tag indicates she came off the line as a factory Yellow, top of the line, Chevelle Malibu Coupe with bucket seats, center console and a V8. Originally she had saddle cloth interior, but somewhere along the line someone converted it to black with paint and die. As you can see from the pictures, the car has everything on it that the SS package entails, but being as Chevy changed the way they did the SS package in 1971, there is no way to know if it came as an SS or not other than the original window sticker or build sheet, which I do not have. I will say that from working on the car everything that is there seems to be original so I would bet it was a factory SS, but can't say for sure. Also as you can see from the pictures, the Yellow paint is absolutely eye popping. It is impossible not to be noticed in this car. The paint polishes up extremely nice, but it is a driver, so there are some chips on the car and there are some areas around the hood edges where the paint is chipped off, but you have to look to find them. 


Now for the really good stuff......yes that is a 12 bolt posi rear end under the car and a brand new 700R4 automatic transmission. Also, notice that the entire underside of the car was cleaned and coated a little while back, along with the coating in the trunk. I just got back from the street machine nationals and not only was the car a crowd favorite but that overdrive tranny makes it a great car to cruise down the highway or for showing off a little on the cruise grounds. If you can make it out in the picture, I also included the revised shift indicator in the console to indicate it has overdrive. Under the hood, is a REALLY strong 454 that motivates this heavy Chevy right on down the road. Whether you like liquidating tires or dragging down the quarter mile, this motor will make it happen. It has headers, a Demon carb., and notice the brand new BeCool radiator installed to name a few parts. Car idles great and drives out really smooth, and motor is a nice mix of muscle car yet streetable. If you have ever owned a big block muscle car than you know what I am talking about, and if you have not, well you will quickly find out why we are always smiling. I would say that my starting price is probably enough to cover the cost of the drivetrain on this car so you are getting an amazing deal, check the others out for comparison.

The car has a clean Illinois title and can be viewed in person if you will contact me to make arrangements. Please serious bidders only. Please fill free to ask any questions as the car is being sold in as is condition.

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks

Thu, Sep 29 2016

Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part one

Sat, Jun 18 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice with a profanity-laden stream-of-consciousness writing style. Parker lives in Hawaii and spends far more time spearfishing than behind the wheel of a car. Jump ahead to Part Two here, and Part Three here. Big Money and billionaire hobbyists and rockets on wheels. Jets belching French color smoke overhead. Balance of power fuckery. Plenty of water on the ground this morning. Absurdly expensive motorcars lined up in the pissing rain. Fast twitch lunatics behind the wheel. Chomping at the bit. Let's go let's go let's go! Race hasn't even started, Ford #67 maybe dealing with clutch issues. Karma? That beautiful bastard Brad Pitt's out on the track, waving the tricolor flag. It's a standing start in "Noah's Ark" weather and the 2016 24 hours of Le Mans is go! First lap takes place behind the safety car, finished in a record setting 8 minutes 27 seconds. Wrong kind of record maybe, but this is the first time I've set my mind to watching the whole damn race. Feel like I'm part of history. 3:00 AM on Kauai, a little too early for life. Sucking down coffee like a maniac. Don't fall back asleep. Got my hands on four hours of rest, how much more can I need? Better be enough for the next twenty four hours. Gonna get kinda punchy toward the end. Jason Statham on the scene. Four feet of solid muscle, non-existent hairline. Lovely wife peanut gallery sitting next to me calls him the "best race car drive in the world." Not sure if she's serious. Toss up, could go either way. Statham's a funny guy. Heir to the Bruce Willis comedy action crown. Really good in the movie where the fat comedy lady plays a spy. Ford's on the road. Problems with gearbox pressure, apparently. Nearing a half hour in and the safety car is still on the track. Hellish amounts of water on the ground, in the air. Visibility is garbage. Getting better. Twitter wags, "Not with a bang but a whimper." Just building suspense. Mother Nature felt like killing some people today, race officials need to dial back the drivers until it dries a tad. Normal inclination would've seen 'em flying, guaranteed early lap wrecks. Sad news for that bloodthirsty part of my lizard brain I try and keep suppressed. Good news for humanity. #12 in the pit for a bit.
