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.***

Chevy EN-V 2.0 coming to Tianjin Eco-City in China

Fri, Jun 20 2014

Chevrolet is bringing its EN-V 2.0 to the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China to show off the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" and demonstrate sustainable urban mobility. The small, two-seat EV concept is an updated version of the original EN-V, a vision of getting around in a future world where space is at a premium and clean air is a priority. So what better place to showcase the evolved EN-V than at the Tianjin Eco-City? The Eco-City is being developed as a planned urban space with eco-consciousness built in. The joint venture between China and Singapore offers an alternative to country living and smog-filled cities. Tianjin Eco-City, slated to be completed by 2020, will be able to offer 350,000 inhabitants clean air and water, renewable energy, green transportation and living spaces and, if all goes as planned, jobs for 50 percent of the residents. Currently, only about three square kilometers of the planned 30 square kilometers have been built, with only about 6,000 permanent residents, but there's still time. The EN-V 2.0, as the "Networked" part of its name suggests, not only features mobile internet, but can communicate with other cars around it. Along with GPS and built-in sensors, this connection between vehicles allows the car to drive autonomously (at least in theory - again, there's still time). This is ideal in an urban environment where congestion can be a major issue. The EN-V 2.0 improves upon the original concept with climate control, storage space and all-weather capability, which also make life more bearable and daily commuting possible. We first saw renderings of the updated vehicle in 2012. The Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 will be used in the Eco-City's National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park of the course of the two-week demonstration. Read on below for more in the press release from GM. GM to Demonstrate Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 in Tianjin Eco-City SHANGHAI – General Motors today announced that it will begin demonstrating the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 (Electric Networked-Vehicle) in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City this week, signaling the company's learning and progress in sustainable urban mobility. The demonstration will help GM further understand consumers' usage of low-speed transportation tools for their daily commute. During the two-week demonstration period, the EN-V 2.0s will be used in the National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park inside the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.

2016 Chevy Camaro leaked on CNBC

Fri, May 15 2015

It seemed inevitable. Eventually some outlet would get access to fully uncovered pictures of the sixth-generation 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and let them loose early. Embargoes break. All. The. Time. And for this round, credit goes to CNBC's Squawk Box. The program, according to the GM Inside News forums, had been talking about the new Camaro "all morning," when it dropped a trio of images of the new muscle car. Consider this, then, our first full look at the 2016 Camaro, a car we detailed extensively earlier this morning. In general, the leaked images confirm much of what we discussed in that post regarding the car's looks – an evolved style, with a slim grille up front, a rounded tail, and a very short rear deck. Check out the leaked images, give our Camaro round-up a read, and strap in for tomorrow's big Camaro reveal.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.
