Here we go. The wife says I have too many toys, so I am listing my beloved Chevelle SS. This beautiful car was a 2 year, full, ground up restoration completed in 2010 and has under 3,000 miles on her. I have owned many nice, classic muscle cars over the years and this is truly the nicest and best driving classic I have seen in a good while. I am the second owner since the restoration. The car is a clone and was done perfectly as such. Now for the goodies. Most of the car was restored with brand new parts. That is to say that most of the car is new even though it's a 1970 muscle car. What parts are not new were reconditioned or rebuilt. The overall condition of the car is a 9.5 with the body being a 10 and the paint at a 9.0. The body is flawless and there isn't a speck of rust anywhere on this car. 100% rust free. It has new fenders, new quarter panels, new floor pan, new hood, new trunk deck lid, new bumpers, new front windshield, and new side view mirrors. All of the trim pieces look like new. It's just a spectacular car that would win almost any local car shows. Paint has been clear coated as well. This car needs absolutely nothing. Power steering and power assist brakes, and air conditioning. 


The interior is a solid 9 out of 10 as well. Most of the interior is also new with the exception of some original pieces like the instrument panel, column shift and blinker control. Everything on the car works, including the horns. It even has the original AM/FM radio 8 track player. I don't know if the 8 track player works because I don't have any 8 track tapes. New seats, new headliner, new carpet, new door panels. The seat belts are originals. The steering wheel is not new, but it is an SS wheel. The dash pad is new. 

The suspension is restored to stock. New springs, new shocks, new bushings, tie rods and ball joints. It drives like a real dream. Inside the car it's the most comfortable and quiet muscle car I have ever driven. A real pleasure to cruise in and drive. Inside the car you won't hear a single sound, like an annoying squeak or rattle sound. That's because this car was built right. 

The drive train is also spectacular. A big block, 454 cubic inch engine drives this sexy car with a Turbo Hydomatic 350 transmission and 4:11 gears in the 10 bolt rear end. It has way more power than anyone would ever need on the street. The rear end was installed with an Eaton posi traction unit. It's not a one legger. It has new tires and wheels. The tires are BFG Radial TA, P275R60/15 in back and P245R60/15 in front. The wheels are American Racing brand wheels. 

The 454 was balanced and blue printed and has .030 forged JE pistons, 9.5:1 compression ratio, big GM rods and a GM steel crankshaft. Indexed crankshaft .010, which is a very nice feature. Indexing is part of the blueprint process and is very important so that compression, because of deck height variation due to different stroke between rod journals, can change compression ratios between cylinders. Also swing (degrees apart between rod journals) will change the relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft. If you want more strength and longevity from your engine this is a must. The engine is kept cool with a 4 core radiator and a clutch fan with a proper shroud. It never overheats. 

The intake manifold is a new Edelbrock, Performer Air-gap 2 and on top sits a new Edelbrock 750 CFM carburetor. Melling oil pump installed. Hydraulic roller, Crane cam and Isky hydraulic lifters in the top end. Gross lift of the cam is .530/.540. GM oval port heads 049 with stainless steel valves. Crane valve springs and retainers and bronze valve guides. The exhaust has Hooker long tube headers with a 3" exhaust all the way to the tips. The exhaust pipes are aluminized. It even has some open exhaust cut-outs welded into the pipe behind the headers. The ignition system starts the car easily even in cold weather and comes with an HEI distributor and MSD spark plug wires. The car will not need any tuning. It's not running fat or lean and never produces any smoke at all. Oh, and the gas tank is new as well. There is so much awesome stuff that it's kind of hard to remember it all. 

Send me your email address and I will send you a link to watch two videos I have showing the car better than still photos can and allowing you the opportunity to hear the car's engine running. I also have many more pictures available than what I was able to post here. A tastefully done and lightly resto-modded car. Whoever wins this car will not be disappointed at all. She's a real beauty and a pleasure to drive. Bid hard and prosper.

The transmission is a TH400 (Turbo Hydromatic 400) and not the 350. I must of had a brain fart when I typed 350.

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet

Tue, May 9 2017

When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:

Chevrolet Silverado reportedly getting the GMC Sierra's MultiPro tailgate

Mon, Aug 17 2020

GMC reinvented the pickup tailgate when it added a six-way option named MultiPro to the current-generation Sierra it introduced in 2019. It kept this clever feature to itself as a way to differentiate the Sierra from the Chevrolet Silverado, but a recent report claims it will begin sharing it in the not-too-distant future. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned from anonymous sources familiar with Chevrolet's product plans that the Silverado will soon receive its own version of the MultiPro tailgate. It will be called either MultiFlex or Multi-Flex, a name Chevrolet has already trademarked, and it was initially scheduled to make its debut for the 2021 model year. Its arrival might be delayed until the 2022 model year due to the coronavirus pandemic, however. Chevrolet's Silverado and GMC's Sierra are nearly identical under the sheet metal, so adding the latter's six-way tailgate to the former will be a relatively straightforward and cost-effective process. Interestingly, GM Authority wrote engineers could add a seventh function to the tailgate, though it didn't reveal what they have in store. It's also not sure whether both trucks will get the new feature, or if it will exclusively be offered on the Chevrolet. 2022 will bring major updates to the Silverado and the Sierra, potentially including — as we've previously reported — an independent rear suspension. Interior upgrades will allegedly be part of the mid-cycle changes, too, but we still don't know if the Silverado will receive the tough carbon fiber cargo box available in the Sierra. In the meantime, motorists in the market for a Sierra will temporarily have fewer options to choose from. GMC has asked its dealers to stop taking orders for the regular- and double-cab variants of the truck, according to a separate report from GM Authority. Putting the slower-selling regular- and double-cab trucks on hiatus will allow dealers to build up their inventory of crew-cabs, which sell far better and are in relatively short supply. These restrictions will remain in effect until the 2021 model year, which starts on September 14 for double- and crew-cab models and on September 21 for regular-cab trucks. All three body styles will be available in 2021. Related Video:

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
