Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : whitneywssweezey@ukno.com .This ad features a really nice car I am selling from a friend’s collection. He recently had a his first child and
has decided to thin his car herd so he can focus on his growing family herd! So while he is ready to cut this car
loose it is not a forced sale, more of a common sense sale. This car does not have the correct engine/transmission
but instead has a 454 V-8 and 400 TurboHydramatic transmission out of a 1974 Chevelle which is a very suitable
upgrade and a 12 bolt posi-traction differential. This is a real SS, but originally was a 350 V8. It runs strong
and looks great. As you read through the write up you will see everything has either been rebuilt or replaced
mechanically on the car. This is a great driver and ready to go as it sits. Now I should qualify that usually
"driver" quality on eBay usually means piece of crap. Let's be clear this is a really nice car, but by no means a
trailer queen either, hence a great car to drive, and will show well at most local car shows and cruise-ins. The
car collects lots of attention whether it's cruising down the street or parked.
Finish -- Grade A: Bright red paint is a fresh two stage paint. Re-paint was very through and there are no signs
of the original green metallic paint. Very nice shine/luster and it looks as good in person as it does in the

block. It is a well thought out combination that provides a gas pump friendly compression. Engine is clean and
show ready detailed. Installation is clean and professional and stock in appearance. Engine is equipped with brand
factory chrome valve covers, is painted the correct era paint. Engine was professionally rebuilt when owned by a
previous owner but came with no receipts. The motor is clean inside (valve covers were removed for inspection) and
is free of any noises or knocks, and there is no smoke upon start-up cold or warm, and is free of any oil or
coolant leaks, supporting the claim of a recent/fresh rebuild. Engine has a slight lopey idle but pulls 25 inches
of vacuum, the carburetor has been modified and freshly rebuilt with parts from Cliff's HP and dialed in to the
engine modification combination and pulls smooth right off idle without hesitation through acceleration. Engine is
equipped with functioning factory style electric choke that works as designed by the factory. Engine pulls hard
under acceleration, no black smoke, and carburetor responds better then fuel injection. Engine features new
starter, alternator, radiator, hoses, plus fresh tune-up with cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. Brackets are all
factory and period correct and installation is professional. Car also features a brand new four row radiator (not a
re-core), with 7 bladed fan with thermostatic factory style clutch.
Summary:
This car looks great driving down the road, and frankly, even up close, it is very presentable for most local car
shows or cruises. It is a very nice car to drive with smooth acceleration, and clean comfortable cabin. The
performance idle through the chambered mufflers makes it a hit at the cruise in or at the stop light. The car has a
strong running 454 which is desirable upgraded and greatly improves the overall driving experience of the car. Ride
is firm, but comfortable for a long drive. Operation is very reliable and without issue and the engine pulls hard
off idle up to 5000 rpm. It is a lot of fun to kick down at a roll as the car sets you back in the seat and smokes
the tires. The suspension launches straight with no wheel hop when you mat it and spins the tires without brake
torquing. The car as is would make a great reliable, daily driver that would be a blast to drive everyday to work.
It is really a fun car to drive with its throaty exhaust and excellent power. This car offers a lot of potential
with some light trim work will only will only improve the value of this car.
Other then some minor interior detailing, this car needs nothing else replaced and is road ready for cruising.
Mechanically it has been totally gone through and all maintenance items (battery, alternator, brakes, radiator,
etc) are new and have been replaced! You can drive this car literally anywhere without issue. So if doing a full
restoration or building a bad news street terror is outside your skills level but your looking a for a great
musclecar this the car for you. When you consider the full restoration numbers matching cars run $50K plus and most
of the cars below $10K, well let's just say are in need of a lot of work.
That said I have tried my best to represent this car as honestly as possible, however it is sold as is and there is
no warranty implied or otherwise stated.

New GM subcompact SUV spied, could be a Chevy or GMC
Mon, Aug 13 2018GM's pair of subcompact crossovers have been trundling along for a while now. The Buick Encore was the first for Americans in the 2013 model year, and the Chevy Trax that was based on the Encore (an encore of the Encore, if you will) arrived for the 2015 model year. Each has undergone a mild update, but these spy photos could indicate their replacements are in the works. Or not. For starters, we can't be sure which GM brand this new SUV is destined for. Though the timing and its flowing lines could indicate Buick, the thick horizontal bars visible in the grille would indicate otherwise. The next Encore being at least related to this is at least a possibility. Making the case for GMC are those thick grille bars, the fact that it extends far below the lights, and may even rise above them, similar to the Acadia. And that rising beltline isn't that different from that of the Acadia. Arguing against the GMC idea is the Encore, which is almost always sold in GMC-Buick combo dealers. Much as the Acadia was made smaller to eliminate confusion and in-house competition with the Enclave, it's hard to see GM opting to resurrect such an issue at the bottom end of the SUV market. That means we're leaning toward this little SUV wearing a Chevy bowtie. The split grille with a large lower section and small upper section is the brand's current design language, as seen on the new Malibus and Cruzes. The shape is vaguely Equinox-like. And like Buick, Chevy also has a subcompact crossover ready for replacement: the Trax. Now, our photographer reports he's seen another subcompact testing that has Blazer design cues, but in this crossover-hungry market, we wouldn't be surprised if two similarly sized but differently styled Chevy crossovers make the grade. It's a strategy that's working pretty well for Jeep. We'll no doubt be seeing more of these disguised test vehicles milling about the country in the coming months, so perhaps we'll eventually get a better idea of what this is before more official information starts trickling out within one or two years.

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest
Thu, Mar 12 2015Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.

2022 Detroit Auto Show Editors' Picks
Fri, Sep 16 2022As tends to be the case in this post-ish-pandemic world of auto shows, the North American International Auto Show was a strange one. It was at least mostly indoors and thus not at the mercy of Mother Nature. And unlike that first Chicago Show following the initial pandemic shutdown, this one was all assembled before the media arrived. Even with a much thinner show floor, the Detroit Auto Show still gave us a number of noteworthy reveals. Now, full disclosure, the rules for our Detroit picks were made a little more flexible, since some of these vehicles were revealed a little before the week of the show. But we still focused on vehicles that were making their show debut, and were actually present on the floor. Sadly, that means we had to leave out the Jeep Recon and Wagoneer S electric SUV concepts. Odds are, those would've made it into our list of the top five if they had actually been on display. Now, on to the winners. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe View 18 Photos 5. 2023 Jeep Wrangler Willys 4xe This was an easy one. While there's nothing so remarkable about the Willys that it makes this package a must-buy, it's nice to see another model available with the 4xe powertrain. Just one question, though: Where was the Recon? – Byron Hurd Chevrolet Blazer EV View 7 Photos 4. 2024 Chevy Blazer EV As a fan of the K5 and S-10 Blazer generations, I was a bit bemused when the current-gen crossover came out ... until I drove it and realized how good it actually is. Now that there's a Blazer EV incoming, I feel like I can become a true fan again. And there's a lot for fans to appreciate: FWD, RWD and AWD versions, and even a 557-horsepower SS variant. In a lineup of practical, Ultium-based Chevy utes, it's good to see an attainable product that enthusiasts can get behind — along the lines of Ford with its Mustang Mach-E — while we wait for an electric Corvette. — Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder 2023 Chrysler 300C View 28 Photos 3. 2023 Chrysler 300C In a poignant press conference with the Spirit of Detroit statue in the background, Chrysler sent its flagship 300 out properly with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. Stellantis design chief Ralph Gilles articulated the car's successes — its many awards and sterling reviews from its early days — and the cover came off with a veritable 300C hot rod on display. One more time, the 300 is at full strength. To be clear, this isn't the 300S with an available 5.7-liter.
