You won't find a cleaner Chevelle that is a true original. Nearly everything on this car is from factory 1972 and in flawless original 32,000 miles condition. The few changes to the car are considered bolt on conversions and I have all necessary parts to convert this car back to original factory specs. I also have the original restricto plate from the factory which is very rare and adds additional value to the car.

 

I have added a Flowmaster dual exhaust from the factory manifolds back, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's with less than 3000 miles on them. In 2009 I added brand new all steel chromed period correct Chevrolet Rally wheels with full metal center caps. Wheels alone were $2400 new for the set due to the “Chevrolet Motor Division” logo etched on the steel center caps which is OEM 1972 Chevrolet spec. The original owner replaced the AM radio with an AM/FM tape deck and added two rear speakers. I do have the original working AM radio, factory rear speaker and a new rear deck shelf if you wanted the interior back to 100% original. This car came new with steel wheels and hub caps and I have the original hub caps to go with the car as well.

 

This is a 350 Malibu package with an unmolested and never painted 350 V8 2 barrel carb and even the air cleaner decal is original. Runs like brand new with only 32,000 original miles and doesn’t burn or leak any oil at all even during heavy acceleration. I did remove and re-paint the valve covers in 2009. I also replaced the radiator in 2008 and found another factory radiator for this car still in the original box from 1972. Everything in the engine compartment is as clean as the day the car was made and has the original hood insulation.

 

The TH 350 transmission shifts flawlessly. I had a classic car mechanic in my area give the car a complete bumper to bumper diagnostic and everything was in perfect order. This car has no oil pan, Trans, rear main seal leaks or differential leaks.

 

Undercarriage was seal coated from the dealer and is not pealing. There is no rusting on the frame, suspension or gas tank and straps.

 

The interior is a standard bench seat automatic. No rips, no tears, carpet looks brand new and not frayed anywhere. Not a crack or bubble anywhere on the dash board and none of the plastic molding on the dash display is chipped, damaged or faded in any way. Floor mats are factory original to match the interior and look brand new. I can supply additional interior pictures upon request.

 

The pictures don't give the condition of the body and chrome justice. Paint and chrome are both 100% original with no dents, scratches, discoloration, and cracking or rust anywhere on or under the paint. The chrome all around the car has no pitting, pealing or rust. These cars were painted by hand in 1972 and there is a tiny factory paint overrun on the front fender which is only noticeable if you are told where to look. The original owner wanted a Heavy Chevy but couldn't afford the up charge so decided to have the signature stripe added before taking delivery. Stripe decal shows very little cracking and is very intact.

 

From new this car has been garage kept during winter months and has been very well taken care of since production 42 years ago. The oil has been changed every year in the fall and has been properly conditioned for climate controlled storage conditions year round. I also have a felt car cover included in the sale of this vehicle.

UAW rejects GM contract proposal but makes a counter offer

Tue, Oct 1 2019

The United Auto Workers union said a new comprehensive offer made by General Motors Co late Monday to end a two-week-old strike was not acceptable and said it had made a new counterproposal. UAW vice president Terry Dittes said in a letter to members "there are many important issues that remain unresolved." The union is awaiting GM's next proposal. He said GM's offer came up short on many issues.  Dittes said GM made a "comprehensive proposal" at 9:40 p.m. Monday. "This proposal that the company provided to us on day 15 of the strike did not satisfy your contract demands or needs. There were many areas that came up short like health care, wages, temporary employees, skilled trades and job security to name a few." Dittes is the union's vice president for GM relations and the UAW's lead negotiator in these contract talks. "We have responded today with a counterproposal and are awaiting GM's next proposal to the union," he wrote. "Regardless of what is publicized in print or social media, etc., there are still many important issues that remain unresolved." The strike, in its third week, has cost GM more than $1 billion, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ryan Brickman. He said the cost per day in potential profit is $82 million. However, another analysis, by East Lansing-based consultant Anderson Economic Group, put the losses at $25 million a day. And the effects of the strike are expanding. GM said Tuesday the strike has created a parts shortage that forced the automaker to halt production at its pickup and transmission plants in Silao, Mexico, temporarily laying off 6,000 workers. Silao is where GM builds its highly profitable four-door crew cab Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The strike has also forced GM to idle some Canadian workers, and many suppliers have been forced to halt operations. About 48,000 UAW members went on strike on Sept. 16 seeking higher pay, greater job security, a bigger share of the leading U.S. automaker’s profit and protection of their healthcare. 

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
