This is a 1969 Chevelle that I have owned since 1995. I purchased this car in Arlington, Texas. The body had approximately 54,000 miles on it and it was not registered since about 1977 until I bought it. It was the most rust free body I had ever seen. It had a hole about the size of a quarter in the passenger side quarter panel. The window channels in the front and rear are perfect and never messed with. This car has went through a frame on restoration and I done most of the work myself except finishing the body, paint and buffing. This car has it's original quarters, doors, trunk floor, floor pans and was stripped to bare metal. I did replace the original front fenders with G.M. N.O.S. that I purchased in 1985. The only repop sheet metal is the trunk lid and it fits nice and shuts great. All the stainless window trim is original and was polished on the front and rear plus the roof rail chrome. The fender well chrome as well as the SS 396 Fender emblems are N.O.S. The grill is the original grill but the chrome trim is repro and fits better than most. The tail light bezels are original and are in really nice shape. The rear bumper is an original OEM bumper that was rechromed but the front one is a repro and both are really nice. The car was originally Butternut Yellow with a black interior but I had it repainted with Dupont Chromabase Monaco Orange with Clear shot on top and installed the Parchment Interior.

The Parchment Interior came from Legendary and the quality surpasses their competition by a mile. The bucket seat foams were replaced as well. It also has a factory gauge package that was restored by Specialty Instruments. All the gauges and speedometer work and the clock keeps perfect time. Also has the optional stock radio plate when the radio would was not wanted. The dash bezel is new as well as the steering wheel. The console is an original one with a repro top bezel but all the rest of the parts and the shifter are OEM.

The engine sitting under the hood was rebuilt by "Ohio George Montgomery" in Dayton, Ohio. It is a 2 bolt main 454 which was bored out .030 and TRW 2465 F domed pistons were installed with the open chamber heads it has right around 9.8 to 1 compression so you can use pump gas. New ARP rod bolts installed and the crank was balanced after being turned .010 on the mains and rods. The camshaft is a Crane .533 .533 lift with 228 duration @ .050 lift with a 108 centerline. The cylinder heads are 049 casting open chamber heads that have had 2.19 intake valves and 1.88 exhaust valves with hardened seats installed and pocket ported by Dave Laird at Heads Up in Dayton, Ohio. Comp cams steel full roller rockers sit on top with 3/8" push rods. The oval port Wieand intake was port matched to the heads and the Q-Jet sitting on top was restored by Eric Jackson of Vintage Musclecar Parts. Distributor is a Petronix Billet Flame Thrower lll with a built in rev limiter set at 5600 rpms. The exhaust manifolds dump into Pypes stainless steel head pipes and they run into Thrush Welded Turbo mufflers then hits the mandrel bent Flowmaster tail pipes and exit out the stock big block exhaust extensions. The whole system is 2 1/2" all the way through. We ran the car on the dyno a couple runs and it made 340 hp at the rear wheels. The engine has 50-55 lbs of oil pressure when cold and when warmed up it has around 30-35 at idle.

Transmission is a Turbo 400 short shaft that was originally in a 1968 Impala. It has been gone through totally with everything new that could be put in. It shifts firm but not enough to destroy u-joints and it will bark the tires easily into 2nd gear when shifting manually. The original kickdown switch works as it should and it has a Hughe's 2500 stall converter that you don't even notice when driving. The 12 Bolt rearend has had a new Eaton Posi intstalled with a new 3.73 ring and pinion with Moser Axles with no wining or roaring going down the road.

The whole cooling system is new with a 4 row radiator, heater core, fan clutch. I have only used distilled water in the cooling system so it has never had tap water mixed with the anti-freeze.

The tail lamp, headlight and engine harnesses have all been replaced with M&H Fabricators stock replacement harnesses. The dash harness and fuse panel were restored as well.

The wheels are original 1969 14x7's SS wheels that have their original trim rings and centers. The tires are BF Goodrich T/A radials that are 245x60x14's that have about 3/4 of their tread left.

The front and rear glass have been replaced and side glass are the original pieces. They operate like they should. All the rubber seals have been replaced.

The power front disc brakes stop very well with new rotors, calipers, dust shields and bearings. All the braking system was new when installed as well as the brake lines from the Right Stuff all the way from the front to the rear including the power brake booster, master cylinder and the wheel cylinders on the rear.

I have put approximately 3300 miles on the car since the restoration process. The suspension is all new under the front including new coils springs and shocks all the way around. The rear control arms are boxed in with the stock G.M. sway bar attached to them.

Buyer is responsible for delivery costs or you could pick it up if your local in person. This car was not originally an SS but I could put it next to any other 69 SS and you would not know any better. I have been next to the real cars and they don't know the difference.

I don't want to sell this car but I am going to have to let her go. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
