1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours station wagon. $4000 firm. 350 small block, TH350 transmission. Car has been my daily driver for the last ten years. Built in Van Nuys California, I brought it to NY in the spring of 2004. The car has rust in the usual places (driver's side rear wheel well, both lower rear quarters, a bit in the lower doors etc.) the floors are good, the frame is good. The real rust issue is the tail gate. The lower skin is rusting, plus the tracks in the door for the glass has started to rust, window still goes up and down (manual crank) but it will need to be addressed soon. Right front fender and hood are replacements. I repainted the car three years ago, never buffed it, so it has a semi-flat look to it. The roof rack has been removed, and the holes filled with rubber plugs. I still have the pieces for the rack. The car needs a windshield to pass inspection, all other glass is fine. Just recently had some bushings and a tie rod end replaced on the front end, needs alignment. Car has power steering and power brakes. The transmission is good, I had it overhauled twice in the ten years I've had it. The engine runs fine, it does burn some oil when it's first started, and the plug in the number 7 cylinder gets fouled after several hundred miles, I'm guessing that it's a leaky valve and there's oil getting in there that way, but I'm no expert. 650 Holley double pumper carb with manual choke, Edelbrock intake. Interior is OK, back seat was redone at some point, front seat was too, but it got worn out and its springs are worn too. Car had A/C, compressor's frozen. One tear in headliner on passenger side over front seat. Gas gauge doesn't work correctly, a full tank only reads at about 1/3 full. Empty tank reads empty. New tires all around, 71-72 Chevelle SS 15" five spoke wheels. Was garaged until this summer. I am still driving this car daily, it's just reaching the point where it's going to need some TLC or be retired from daily use and I am not in a position to give it what it needs. I can send you any photos you need, just ask. Thanks for looking!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
