1972 Chevelle Ss 355 Ci Frame Up Restored on 2040-cars
Salem, Oregon, United States
1972 Chevelle SS 355 CI coupled to a Turbo 350 Trans. Car was born and raised in California it's entire life until I purchased the vehicle and brought the car to my home in Oregon. The car has a killer look with all that a real SS would have however, it is a very well done "Clone". Engine and transmission totally rebuilt in 2013 with less than 3000 miles since rebuild. Engine was bored out 30 over so technically the car is a 355 CI. Rebuilt engine has new rods, bearings, valves, cam lifters, springs, retainers, guides and pistons to name a few of the things that were done. Car was a frame up restoration starting in 2011 and completed in 2013. I have entered 6 shows this year and came away with 4 trophies. Car will hold it's own a against the the big blocks!
Engine: 355 CI with Hooker competition headers. The engine was recently dyno tuned runs strong and sounds great! Engine compartment highly detailed see pictures! Transmission: 350 Turbo Trans with a Trans cooler mounted on the front of the car in front of the radiator. Body: A look down the sides will show you a Lazer straight body. There are no dings, dents, rock chips or any visible signs of rust. Interior: Seats recovered front and back in vinyl, new carpet, new door panels, new headliner, new dash pad, new billet front and back window and door handles. There is a Kenwood single CD, MP-3 hook up stereo that sounds great! Suspension: New front upper and lower tubular A arms with a sway bar. Standard shocks front and back. Under-Carriage: The under- carriage is as clean as the outside of the car with no visible signs of rust. Receipts show the underneath being sand blasted then painted black. Paint: Cortez Silver believed to be sprayed in 2011, looks really nice however, it is not show quality. I would rate the paint on a scale of 1-10 a 7.5. Pin Striping professionally done by Spiderman out of Portland, Oregon. Wheels: New 20" tires on front and back mounted on new Billet rims. I prefer selling the car first and foremost however, I would consider a trade up or down for a 66, 67 Nova or a 32 or 37 Ford. If you have something to trade send me an e-mail through EBAY with details and if I am interested I will give you my e-mail address to send pictures. Please no rust buckets! I am sure there are details I left out so if you have any questions send me an e-mail with your phone number and I will get back to you ASAP. I recently had the car appraised and I have the reserve set for thousands below appraised value. This is an extremely nice car that will attract attention where ever it goes but by no means is it a 100 pt show car. Warranty: The vehicle is being sold as is with no warranty express written or implied. I encourage you to send anyone to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase you will not be disappointed. Shipping: Will be the responsibility of the buyer however, I can help with the shipping as my cousin owns a trucking company and his rates are lower than most carriers out there. His trucks are fully insured and the drivers are fully insured and bonded. I have shipped open and enclosed coast to coast without any incident what so ever through his company. Payment: A $500 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction close. A final payment for the balance to be wire transferred to my account within 3 days after deposit. Title of car will not be released until all funds have cleared my bank. Please if you don't have the funds do not bid on the car. I have had to re-list before due to non payment. Good luck bidding!!! |

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part one
Sat, Jun 18 2016We 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.
Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study
Tue, Jun 28 2022People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome. GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three. This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
