Rustfree 1970 Chevelle 454 From Texas on 2040-cars
Rudyard, Michigan, United States
|
I am listing a 1970 Chevelle that I have owned for about 6 years or so and came from Texas. The car has a mid 70's 454 engine with dual exhaust posi traction rear end that has been totally rebuilt with carrier, bearings, gears etc. The engine runs well and is basically stock, car has corvette rally wheels all the way around. You will be very hard pressed to find a body as nice as this car has since the floors, frame, and trunk are all original as well as the rear quarters other then a repair behind the back wheels, the front fenders and front inner fenders are brand new Goodmark. The car has factory air conditioning but is not hooked up, has power steering and power brakes, rust free factory SS hood. The car is a factory bench car with column shift. I originally bought this car to convert to a SS car since I have a 70 that was wrecked in 1974 and only had 56000 miles on the 396 when it was crashed. The car was too far gone so I cut it up but kept all of the components critical for the SS and even have the title saying Supersport right on it from the State of Georgia. If someone is interested in buying what I have for the SS car I will sell it to the buyer of this auction. Keep in mind that the 70 SS car is not part of this auction but can be purchased separately after the auction. The 70 SS car was all original with matching numbers 396, turbo 400, 12 bolt with boxed control arms and sway bar, front disc brakes SS dash etc... The 70 up for auction was brought to a professional body / restoration shop and had the paint removed to the bare metal and was prepped and put into epoxy primer and then it had the acrylic hot rod black paint put on it. The front fenders are not completely lined up yet and need the inner fenders installed on the front still. I thought I would leave them off until I had it painted. The car had the glass removed and had all of the window jambs blasted and vinyl washed and had green pain blew in code 48. Code 48 was the forest green color on the 70 SS car. This car could be driven the way it is until you could afford to finish it or would be able to be painted within a week. The whole car has been blocked ready to paint except the doors as they will need some extra blocking due to some dents that were removed. The body is exceptional condition and is very clean. The car came factory with a 350 engine but was swapped out for the 454. I will require a 500 dollar deposit by paypal (non refundable) immediately after winning bid. I require full payment within 7 days from end of auction.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
