Sbc 350(3970010 block) with a Th350 transmission. 

OK lets get the cons out the way first. The car has rust at rear window and at rear floor pan. I patch up the rear floor pan with sheet metal and tap screw just for a temp. fix ( see picture). The engine and transmission both runs fine and good but transmission is leaking from the gasket. I have a new transmission gasket and filter kit to go with the car. Transmission shift fine though all 3 gears. Engine is a runner. I don't know if its a 2 or 4 bolt main. If you check the block casting number its a 50/50 chance its a 4 bolt. I believe it has a valve seal leak because when car warms up....when stepping on gas pedal blue smoke come out not a constant flow only when you quick step the gas pedal. I don't think its a head gasket because car still run strong and fast. I don't know how many miles are on the engine and tranny. body miles just reached 100,xxx mark. 

So beside the cons lets talk about the body. Body has been worked on and painted but I got what I paid for..which was $1900. Need more clear coats, wet sanding and polish to have a decent paint look. It has a dent on the passenger fender and a Good scratch on the passenger side (see picture) from when I side swipe my garage.Still kicking myself. I just recently replace all shocks and springs, upper control arms bushing and all around break shoes (4 wheel drums). As for the motor, I replace water pump, alternator, and the belt in 2012. I say the car is due for a basic tune like spark plugs and spark plugs wires, distributor cap and rotor. I recently changed the oil this month (July 2013). It has fresh 15 inch chrome rallies with a lot of treads left. Its a ten bolt differential non posi. Car is pretty much complete drive it as is and work on it slowly and just put in some money to have a perfect car.  I'm sure I might have left something out but I am a honest person and tried to tell you all the cons on the car. So if you buy it and see something I didn't mention please don't be upset.  And I'm sure its a small thing because if it was major I would remember something big and list it on this ad. Buyer I would get the transmission leak fixed and give it a tune up. 

I have the pink slip to the car under my name and has clean title. Tags are up to date and expire in 2014 of June

***Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping of the car as well as shipping charges. I will help with shipping.And by helping I mean I will do what I can on my part so shipping can be fast and easy.***

The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015

Thu, Jan 14 2016

According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

It will only take 42 seconds of your life so don't expect an Arctic challenge, but if you in the snow regions had any doubts about how it will handle the frozen goods, this should help assuage them. The bigger and better, more powerful and faster Volt - able to run regular fuel - will get out from under its camo at the North American International Auto Show next month. For now, enjoy the way it moves its hips in the video above. News Source: Chevrolet via YouTube, Facebook Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet Videos
