1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Survivor

Matching numbers car with 325HP/396 engine, TH 400 transmission and 12 bolt rear end. Power steering and power brakes. Original Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. Cranks, runs and drives and stops great. 126,000 original miles. Special order paint, Carolina Blue.

Car was purchased in July 1969 in Statesville, NC and stayed there until 1993 or 1994. Moved to Georgia where it stayed until 1998 or 1999 when it moved to OH for 10 years where it was garage kept while waiting to be restored. The owners never got around to it and it was sold to an Alabama owner where it was garage kept for the last 5 years.

Car has never been apart so build sheet is still in car, but I have original dealer invoice, NC inspection sheets, protecto plate, owners' manual and one set of never used original keys on the dealer's keychain.

The car is a real survivor and almost completely original, including paint, bumpers, interior, tinted glass, trim and wheels (wheels have been restored). To my knowledge, only exhaust, radiator, brakes, belts, hoses, tires and air cleaner have been changed from original. I don't believe engine has ever been out of car. Original AM radio, heat, lights, wipers, signals, etc. all work great. All gauges appear to work properly.  Fuel gauge started acting funny today but worked fine until now. Needs one headlight and a taillight bulb replaced.

It needs a headliner, the Chevelle emblem on front of car, a clip on driver's window handle, a small tear in the driver's headrest repaired and a new latch for glove box. Paint is not good but is original Carolina Blue special order (documented on invoice). Stainless is great. Wheel well molding trim is really good but has a couple of dings.

Car is remarkably solid and straight with only surface rust other than very small places in very bottom of rear quarters just behind rear tires, inside bottom rear corner of passenger door and inside driver corner of trunk lid.  No bondo or other body damage that I can find. Bumpers are very straight but need rechromed. Underside of car has only surface rust. Car has plastic inner fenders that I was told were factory installed and they need a couple of epoxy patches.

Car is currently registered in Alabama and they don't title cars that old. I can sell via bill of sale and registration or have an open OH title.

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early at any time.  $500 deposit due via paypal within 24 hours of auction end.  Balance due via wire or cashiers check within 5 days. Car should be picked up within 2 weeks of auction end unless prior arrangements are made.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
