1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible 396  4 Speed  12 bolt posi    Not matching numbers. Figure the car to be a clone. We don’t have anything for paperwork to prove otherwise.

 Please be sure ALL your questions have been answered BEFORE bidding !  thanks  This is a real SHARP looking and  nice driving ragtop we recently acquired.  We are a  small  dealer and  occassionally we stumble on something interesting that we feel is worth throwing on the internet.  The last owner  had this vehicle for about 17 years. We were told the car had a complete paint back maybe 20 years or so.  This is an unrestored car that still shows nice. Not a 75,000.00 dollar museum piece but just a real pretty driver.  The  top was recently replaced with a brand New convertible top along with new pads. It has a glass rear window. also new bumpers. It has nice looking paint but again not perfect. It does show some normal chips , scratches + wear etc. from age but not all that many.  I see the rear left 1/4 glass has scratches.  The underside  looks clean. The tin cross brace under the front seat has been changed. The trunk is  solid. The spare and jack are also there.    Please do any inspections BEFORE BIDDING  not AFTER BIDDING.   As far as the mechanics goes  it has a Beautiful Sounding  Big Block were told is a 396 “High Perf” 325 HP with a “Muncie”  4 speed transmission  with a 12 bolt posi rear. The clutch has alittle chatter leaving first gear but shifts easily with no slipping. Numbers I found on the front of the engine block are T0110JQ for those who are numbers guys.  It has “GM” exhaust manifolds with 2 1/2 inch aluminized dual exhaust. It also has a 650 CFM spread bore carb with mechanical secondaries.  A “Hurst” 4 speed shifter along with an HEI ignition and a Edelbrock  performer  2.0 intake.  It has Power steering, Power front disc brakes and a Power convertible top.  Most everything looks to work like the heater, wipers, outside lights, emergency brake, power top, stereo + horn.  I see the dash gauges and tachometer work with the exception of the amp gauge.  The factory clock even works.  The car must be in "reverse" gear to remove the key from the ignition as it has the reverse lock out. What I see is,  the engine compartment  could use some cleaning up or detailing.  All the windows seem to go up + down fine, could use alittle adjusting like most do but  operate fine.  We also have a folder full of receipts to go with the car. Please  Feel free to come check and verify any information within.  This listing is mearly my opinion + subjective. Satisfy yourself before bidding. We strive for happy educated customers. I also believe ebay offers an affordable inspection service .

All in all a great investment to have fun with or restore to perfection.

 As with any vintage vehicle it is being sold as is cond.  Any out of state buyer will pay No sales tax to Connecticut.  A Connecticut resident will pay a 6.35% sales tax.   A 250. paypal deposit is due  at the conclusion of the auction.  The balance is due within 3 days in either cash in person, a bank to bank wire or a certified check.  Please be aware ANY check will take a minimum of 5 business days to clear. Vehicle and title to be held until any check clears, that includes bank checks. Thanks

2.0-liter turbo four reportedly returning to Chevrolet Equinox line-up for 2022

Fri, Oct 2 2020

Chevrolet's popular Equinox crossover will enter the 2021 model year with comprehensive updates and a turbocharged, 1.5-liter four-cylinder as its only available engine. The 2.0-liter turbo four offered through 2020 is allegedly leaving the line-up, but it will be replaced for 2022 with a newer engine that produces slightly less power while returning better fuel economy, according to a recent report. Called LSY internally, the new 2.0-liter turbo four already powers the Cadillac XT4, among other models in the General Motors portfolio. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned it will deliver 237 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. For context, the 2.0-liter available through 2020 (known as LTG) made 252 horses and 260 pound-feet of twist, and the 1.5-liter posts figures of 170 and 203, respectively. As a trade-off for the slight drop in horsepower and torque, the LSY is smoother, quieter and cleaner than the LTG it replaces. Transmission options remain unconfirmed, but the four-cylinder will likely shift through a nine-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive will come standard, and all-wheel drive will be offered at an extra cost. Chevrolet hasn't commented on the report; it hasn't even confirmed the Equinox is losing the LTG engine for 2021. If the rumor is accurate, details about the 2022 Equinox should be released during the first half of 2021. GM Authority added the GMC Terrain, which is closely related to the Equinox, will receive the new engine for 2022 as well. Both should have gotten it for 2021, but the on-going global pandemic delayed its launch. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance

Fri, Feb 5 2016

A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper

Mon, Apr 23 2018

Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.
