1966 Chevrolet Chevelle. This is the barn find, project car. I purchased the car several months ago. It appears and i was told the car had been setting for unknown years. It is apparent that the previous owner had used the car at the strip. All of the interior has been removed and front end parts. I have installed a new gas tank, drained the fluids and installed a new battery. The motor is strong. I changed the carb out. I installed a used Edelbrock 650 and the car starts and runs strong. Has a torker intake, mild street cam and headers. The distributor has been changed out to a HEI. It has a turbo 350 auto trans with a Hurst Ratchet Shifter. It still has the factory 10 bolt rear end. It has rust in the floor pans and the trunk, literally to the point you can see through to the asphalt. The body is as you see it, old and worn out and rust through out the panels. When i purchased the vehicle it came with new floor pans and trunk pan and they will also go with the sale of the car. It has one driver seat and thats it. I have taken lots of photos and can email to anyone. Several reasons i purchased the car. It is a factory V8, bucket seat, center console, factory ac car. The cowl tag is enclosed with the photo package. The photos will show some of the factory ac parts still intact. It came with a power glide transmission. I even got the center console when i purchased. Photos are also enclosed. It starts, runs and stops. It is what you see. Needs all the sheet metal replaced and interior. It was a factory Lemonwood Yellow with black bucket seats. Here are the facts and cowl decoding that i have. The engine is a non matching engine number. Block casting is a 14016379. I have deciphered this to be a 77-79 350, 225 HP motor out of a corvette or others, as it lists. The stamping number on the tab of the block is V0799800. The wheels are 15"Centerline wheels with front tires being Lemans 165-15, the rears are Daytona 225-60-15. The tires are weather cracked on the sides, but hold air and have tread on the them. I am still trying to decipher the rear end code and will list at a later date.
I am selling because i am overloaded with hot rod project cars, yet just couldnt pass this car up especially with the options it had originally. The car is sold as is. I will answer any questions i can. This car needs to be put back to its original state. Thanks for looking. I do have the car listed locally for sale as well and reserve the right to end the auction early.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
