CONTACT JEFF AT 570-977-0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a gorgeous 1978 Chevelle 2-door sedan that has been transformed into an extremely fast, beautiful street machine, with a late sixties, early seventies theme. This is originally a North Carolina southern car. The smooth as glass candy apple red paint looks a foot deep. A cowl hood with ghost SS stripes compliments the beautiful paint work. The black interior is perfect and is equipped with the factory tilt wheel. That is about the only luxury or comfort item you will find here. This car was built with two things in mind. Looking good and going FAST !!! If you want a car that drives like your BMW or Lexus then this isn't the car for you ! If you want a serious real car guy's car that will literally tear up the streets and blow the doors off the competition, then this is the car for you ! The engine is a 1977 Chevy 454 cubic inch big block that is fresh and has been built for street use. Cylinder heads are oval port open chamber style with 2.06 valves and 7/16 push rods and guide plates. The cam, lifters, and valve springs are all supplied by Lunati. The cam lift is .544 and duration is 292 degrees. The cylinder heads are attached with 20 thousandths steel head gaskets which assist in bringing the compression to 9.9:1 according to the dyno. Block has been bored .10 over. A double roller timing set is installed. The fuel is supplied by electric fuel pumps feeding a 3310 Holley 750 CFM carburetor mounted to an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. Spark is provided by a MSD HEI ignition with an ACCEL coil. Distributor springs were replaced with light units. A high torque gear reduction starter with a heat shield handles the starting chores. Cooling is handled by a new 4-core heavy duty aluminum radiator with an electric fan. Exhaust exits through Hooker headers and a complete new 3 inch "Pypes" exhaust system with an X-pipe crossover and Flowmaster mufflers. This car sounds fantastic ! The power transfer to the differential is handled by a Muncie M-21 four speed transmission that is rebuilt. Clutch and pressure plate are new. 4-Speed shifter is also brand new. The driveshaft is a custom made oversize unit with large U-joints. The rearend is a 12-bolt Positraction unit from a 1970 Chevelle with 3.73 gears. Rear air bags aid in suspension and allow for an adjustable rear ride height. There is also AC Delco shocks in the rear and heavy duty adjustable four link bars off either side of the top of the differential. BFG tires in the front are 215/70R15. The tires are cheater slicks in the rear. BF Goodrich Comp T/A Drag Radials 275/60R15. Early style rally wheels add to the late 60's early 70's theme. Careful calculation was employed to insure the wide rear tires fit inside the wheel wells. This car looks and sits right. This car runs and drives like an earlier vintage Chevelle. The difference is that it's faster due to it's lighter curb weight, and it costs half as much ! It was built with a racing theme and was even lightened with the addition of a fiberglass hood and deletion of the heater, wipers and wiper motor, and radio. A custom dash is outfitted with a full compliment of phantom gauges including a recall tachometer and fuel pressure gauge. Racing seat belts have also been added. The racing theme continues into the trunk with the addition of an aluminum heavy duty fuel cell and trunk mounted battery. Since this car is a fresh build of a car that originated and spent most of it's life in North Carolina it is a rust free car. Underside photos reveal frame and floors are restored and painted. This car has very few miles on it since it's completion. I don't know how it would do at the drag strip, but I will say it hooks up extremely well and will hold you back in the seat. This is a show quality car that would be a compliment to any collection and would be a hit at the car shows ! Since the build and restoration were performed by the previous owner, my summary of this car is based soley on a complete physical inspection and conversation with him. If any prospective buyer has any doubts about this car's condition or integrity, I welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment only. I have in hand a clean Pennsylvania title ready for transfer to the new owner. This car is being sold in AS-IS condition with no actual or implied warranty or guarantee. Please take the time to look at all the photos. I have even put this car up on a lift to photo the undercarriage to show the solid integrity of the car. This car's buy it now price is less than what the build and restoration would cost.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
