This 1970 Big Block 454 RestoMod has had a tremendous overhaul done to it and has been garage kept in a temperature regulated garage. The recent restoration was completed January, 2013. As soon as the car was delivered, the entire interior was stripped. All new floors were welded throughout the vehicle along with a complete new undercoat. The car was then lined with custom cut Dynamat material throughout all the floors, doors and trunk. Custom fabricated shoulder seatbelts were installed in the front and rear of the car. Then, the seats all received new cushion and a special paint was applied. The wiring was redone where needed. A new steering crank shaft was installed along with a 1970 SS steering wheel. The AC unit was checked and fully functioning. A new Retro classic style head unit was installed along with 2, 4x6 JBL speakers as well as 2, 6x9 JBL speakers in the rear. 2 Amps with a 10” subwoofer were custom fit in the trunk along with all wiring. New door handles and window crank shafts were installed as was the rear deck meshing. The 3 speed shifter was rewired along with all wiring to front and rear lights as well as reverse lights. The interior was then reassembled with updated headliner, door panels and carpet. It was then onto adding 4 disc brakes, shocks and springs. An air-ride suspension was installed along with an adaptor in the trunk to raise or lower the suspension. An entire new fuel line from front to back was assembled as was a new rear axle, front and rear suspension with a Posi differential. The chrome, large off-set AmericanRacing rims were installed on the vehicle. Inside the engine, the engine was tested, everything was properly aligned, and a new battery and battery wiring was complete. All new cabeling with heat wraps were installed for protection from this massive engine. Additionally, a new, large, chrome alternator was installed to handle the power this car outputs. The horn was customized with an Dixie trumpet air horn inside the front grill. All bulbs outside the Chevelle were replaced as was the front hood latch. The final step besides the MasterFlo duel exhaust, was to add an Electronic Muffler Bypass, or cutout with an electronic switch. This allow you to not only increase the air outflow but sound from this beast of an engine. Windows and window trim was tested and resealed where necessary. Many other little tweaks were also done along the way. The engine and paint were complete prior to me purchasing the car however I have kept it garage kept and fully washed and waxed at all times. If you are looking for an amazing on the frame restauration where no expense was spared on updating a 1970 Chevelle Big Block 454 with a 3 speed 400 Trany, then this is the car for you.

GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid

Thu, Nov 5 2020

General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018Â–2020 Equinox, 2018Â–2020 Traverse, 2019Â–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018Â–2019 LaCrosse, 2019Â–2020 Encore, 2019Â–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018Â–2020 Terrain, 2019Â–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019Â–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.

Brief website update hints 2016 Chevy Volt will get 43 mpg, 106 MPGe

Sun, Jun 14 2015

Customers in California can already order the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and be the first to own the new, range-extended EV in August. It appears there's now a possibility that buyers of the updated model might get slightly better economy than Chevy's initial announcement from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January, too. According to the eagle-eyed folks at GM-Volt.com, Chevy has been subtly tweaking the spec page for the 2016 Volt. It briefly showed the model getting 43 miles per gallon combined fuel economy and 106 mpge, rather than the originally released figures of 41 mpg and 102 mpge. Shortly afterward, the internal-combustion mileage returned to 41 mpg, but 106 mpge remained. A GM spokesperson told Hybrid Cars the changes happened by mistake. "We have not finalized numbers yet. We expect to announce in July." The economy isn't the only statistic to see an adjustment, though. The total range was reportedly briefly shown as 420 miles, and then returned to a 430-mile rating, according to Hybrid Cars. The Volt's output has also been slightly tweaked from the original figures. It's now displayed as 150 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque, versus the preliminary numbers of 149 hp and 294 lb-ft. These tiny changes likely have a negligible impact on real-world driving, but they suggest that Chevy's team is still working to squeeze as much as possible from the latest Volt's powertrain. If the final figures are coming in July, then the engineers still have just a few weeks to improve the ratings even more.
