1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss 396 4 Speed Unrestored Survivor Barn Find on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a chevelle you dont see very often. A Real deal fully documented SS 396 that was not restored. This car is fresh out of hibernation for 20+ years. Sold new out of Steve Ferrara Chevrolet in Penns Grove new jersey to David Arnold of Elsmere Delaware. He walked in on March 2nd and put down a 10 dollar deposit and came back the next day with the balance and his old 64 pontiac for trade. I have all the documentation to prove this along with the sales order,original protectoplate,cancelled checks and reciepts!!! Also have lots of reciepts from work he had done to it at the dealer later in its life.This car is also a canada built car so the SS option along with the 4 speed is on its original trim tag as you will see in the pics. It shows the Z25 option which is for the SS396 pkg and the M20 for the 4spd along with the bucket seats and console so The documentation is bulletproof. The car has its [BORN WITH] 396-350HP ENGINE [CTX] code along with the vin number on it and numbers matching from the 205 quadrajet to the [KF]331 positraction axle. drivetrain has never been apart or out of the car. It runs great and drives well even on 35 year old Goodyear polyglas tires. The clutch is chatter free and smooth and brakes are excellent. I drove it home 75 miles on the hiway is rush hour traffic and it drove great. Its a very tight feeling car. Everything works as it should and it didnt run hot and the tach works along with the am radio. It has one very old repaint and there is a little rust coming thru on the passenger quarter Panel but thats about it. It could really use a new paint job down the road but you can drive it way it is for now. Interior is completly original.Only 1 rip in the drivers seat outer bolster but i have another cover for it from another survivor car to keep it more authentic looking. The repro seat cover are horrible and the color is not correct so this is the way to keep it original in my book. Option are as follows, tinted glass,Bucket seats,Door edge guards,Center console,Positraction with 331 gears,M20 4speed trans,am radio,rear speaker,SS 396 Equipment and full instrumentation including the 5500 Redline tachometer. Car is ugly under the hood but it is a timecapsule and you can restore it to your likeing. Please call 267-246-6903 to set up an appointment to see and drive it first. call to talk and i will give you a walk around description before you bid to make sure its what you want. Thanks for looking.......I have more pics of the undercarriage and engine compartment and close ups of anything else you want to see.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
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.
