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 !!

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
