1970 Chevelle, Super Solid Nevada Car, Rolling Chassis, 12 Bolt Rear, Bare Metal on 2040-cars
Dayton, Nevada, United States
|
Here is the ultimate starter car for someone looking to build the 70 Chevelle they have always wanted. The body is super solid and virtually rust free. What is visible in the pics is surface rust only, Nevada cars do not have rust issues like many other states. The car has been stripped down to bare metal so you can see exactly what you are getting. I did the most crucial areas and what is left on the doors and front clip is a very thin coat of primer. There is no rust on the doors or front clip and the only dent, still covered by primer, is on the drivers front fender. The worst part of the car is the passenger side rearand the corner of the hood near the windshield. It had bad body work but still no rust. It can easily be massaged back to near perfect condition by a competent bodyman. There is no panel on this car that is even close to needing replacement. The roof is also very solid as you can see NO PITTING of any kind or any back window rust. Take a good look at the floor pans, they are really, really solid and tight, no boulder damage or whatever people seem to run over. Again, the surface rust you see is just surface stuff that can be removed with a wire wheel, NO PITTING. Antoher great thing about this car is it has not been over dissassembled. What that means is for some reaon people love to take apart cars that have never doen it before and take apart the door guts and dash parts that do not need to come apart. The doors and rear quarters inside have never been touched. All of the window regulators, glass etc.. are in perfect shape and function perfectly, if you build cars you should really apprecitae this. Same for the dash it is still intact and only the lower A/C plastic was removed but I have all of it. So back to the body, as you can see it has very solid panels, rockers, and everything that is usually rusty is not. It was a vynial top car, which usually equals rust but take a really good look and double click the pics to blow them up to full size, no pitting and no rear window rust. Doors open and shut nice, all body gaps are really good, no inner fenders. ( I would like to build this car for someone so if you want it built I can help you get this as far as you would like.) The glass is in great shape only the rear window has some minor scrathces. The front glass is new. The milage is oroginal 71K thats it. I found the build sheet, but who cares it was a nothing car with a 350. It would make a great big block clone or LS conversion car. I have the seats and the rears were redone as shown and I do have the material to finish the fronts if you want it. It has a tilt column that is nice and tight. Ignition keys but no door or trunk keys, trunk lock hole not butchered. The rear end is a stock 12 bolt, open carrier no idea what the gears are but they probably suck. Front disc brakes and tubular control arms, frame was cleaned and painted. I have the A/C stuff but I would use the A/C delete cover or go aftermarket. I just have the firewall A/C stuff. The hood is an original GM Super Sport hood, not a repop so worth putting a few dollars into. I have the front end wiring harness and all of it looks intact and useable. The window trim is missing and what is there needs to be replaced. The trunk is also very solid and just needs clean up with a wire wheel. The wheels and tires are just good for rolling around I would not consider using them, the wheels are fine if you are into that look. I have described the car to the best of my recollection but please do not assume anything! Ask any and all questions prior to bidding. You are bidding to take this home or to own and have me build but not to hmmm and haaaa over it. Got it, great... Also this car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early so dont wait til the end of the auction, shoot me your best offer and a phone number and I will get back to you, if i don't, then reconsider your offer. The car is a roller with no brake pressure but it does steer. I f you need help with seting up transport I can help you there too. Clear open Nevada tilte in hand.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
