1968 CHEVELLE SS 396
100% Original / Great Investment / RARE

Simply put, this is the real deal.  Great investment potential considering this Chevelle SS is as original as one could possibly hope for.  Engine and transmission are original to the car (numbers matching).  All body panels, including the paint, are original to the car.  This car has never been restored or repainted.  That being said it's incredibly solid throughout with the exception of some rust in the trunk pan and the rust under the rear window where moisture had trapped underneath the vinyl roof.  Other than that she is rock solid and would not require a "frame off" restoration.  All body lines are straight as an arrow.  All glass is in fantastic shape with no cracks.  The interior is intact and in good shape considering the age but seats will need to be recovered.  All original SS badging is present and in good shape.  A new headliner and rear interior deck are included in the sale.

The car was last registered in 1989 in San Francisco.  I even have the 1989 vehicle registration and the license plate tags that were never used.  The original Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan / Warranty book with the Protect-O-Plate still attached to the back cover of the book !!!  Very rare to find a true "138" SS car with this documentation.  The original Owners Manual and misc service receipts (dating back to 1969) come with the car.

Mechanically everything is intact and original to the car.  The engine starts but runs rough.  Power steering works fine.  Newer BFGoodrich tires on Chevrolet Ralley Wheels.

NADA Classic Guides put the values at Low $16,560, AVG $36,240, HIGH $56,280.  Considering the crappy economy and the solid, original condition of the car I feel I'm pricing it very fair.  With a quality restoration this SS has everything it needs to become a high-end, documented investment.  In short, this is a very rare, very original, sweet example of American muscle.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thanks and Good Luck !!

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
