1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss, 700hp!!, Resto Mod on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Only 1700 miles on new odometer since complete and total frame
off nut and bolt build. 700HP engine that started out as a big block tall deck
427, bored out and stroked with 454
crank and .400 longer rods. Can’t remember,
but think that makes it a 502. 1050
CFM Dominator carb, square port Edlebrock aluminum Victor JR heads, all dyno’d to 700HP!! Estimated to be nearly
975HP at the crank when the nitrous is hooked up. It starts right up with a simple turn of the
key, producing a crisply beautiful and soothing, albeit Satanic
thumpy purr. The transmission is a Turbo 350 featuring a manual shift body rated to back
up over 1000 HP. Transmission is at your service compliments of B & M. The explosive force is mated to a rock solid bullet
proof four link race suspension with QA1 adjustable coil overs, 9 inch race
rated custom hand built rear end with full spool 3.55 gearing. And contrary to the beastly specs, it all goes down the highway as smooth and as
effortlessly as any muscle car around. All of this insanity is brought to its senses by a brand new
4 wheel power disc brake system with all braided stainless lines. Flawless show quality era correct “Richard Rawlings Green”
metallic paint with not a single chip,
scratch or imperfection, stripes
are flush and flat with clearcoat over all and not just laid on top. Floors, trunk,
frame rails, etc. are all 100%
solid. Custom flush firewall and hi
gloss detailed and painted engine compartment. All new chrome front to back. Too much else to list;

“Richard Rawlings Green”, Aluminum
radiator, dual electric fan, line lock
system, Grant GT steering wheel, Auto Meter Phantom gauges in custom billet

corners.. This truly is a serious no excuses high quality Chevelle SS
tribute resto-mod in literally perfect concourse condition. If there is a flaw anywhere on the car it has
yet to disclose itself. This is a must
see to believe car. Talking about
it, showing it, and taking it out to play is always a
pleasure. If you are a seasoned car

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.

Brief website update hints 2016 Chevy Volt will get 43 mpg, 106 MPGe
Sun, Jun 14 2015Customers in California can already order the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and be the first to own the new, range-extended EV in August. It appears there's now a possibility that buyers of the updated model might get slightly better economy than Chevy's initial announcement from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January, too. According to the eagle-eyed folks at GM-Volt.com, Chevy has been subtly tweaking the spec page for the 2016 Volt. It briefly showed the model getting 43 miles per gallon combined fuel economy and 106 mpge, rather than the originally released figures of 41 mpg and 102 mpge. Shortly afterward, the internal-combustion mileage returned to 41 mpg, but 106 mpge remained. A GM spokesperson told Hybrid Cars the changes happened by mistake. "We have not finalized numbers yet. We expect to announce in July." The economy isn't the only statistic to see an adjustment, though. The total range was reportedly briefly shown as 420 miles, and then returned to a 430-mile rating, according to Hybrid Cars. The Volt's output has also been slightly tweaked from the original figures. It's now displayed as 150 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque, versus the preliminary numbers of 149 hp and 294 lb-ft. These tiny changes likely have a negligible impact on real-world driving, but they suggest that Chevy's team is still working to squeeze as much as possible from the latest Volt's powertrain. If the final figures are coming in July, then the engineers still have just a few weeks to improve the ratings even more.
