1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss 396 on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
|
This 1970 Big Block 396 Super Sport Chevelle only has 36,000 ACTUAL miles on it. It had previously spent its last 23 years in storage and only driven around 1,500 miles. It spent the last 9 years sitting in a shed and not being moved or started. As a result it has survived tremendously despite spending its entire life in the Northern Midwest. The undercarriage of this Muscle Car still has the Original General Motors Undercoating it received just before it left the factory (see pictures below, click here for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoJ_fKQHnOg). This is nearly unheard of on a vehicle that is 43 years old and unrestored.
It is an unrestored 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Big Block 396 with 36,000 miles on it....where are you going to find that? This is a true Big Block Super Sport and although there is no way to decode them it has all of the tell tail signs. The rear trailing arms that attach to the 12 bolt are blocked off and strengthened, only found on a SS. The rearend is a 12 bolt, standard on the SS. The dash has the Rally Gauges, only found on a SS. The door panel trim does not go straight across but has the hump design, only found on a SS. It has a functioning Cowl Induction hood. Don't be fooled by all of the Cloned SS's out in the market today. There are signs if you know what to look for. An original 10 10 771 car (White Exterior with Saddle Interior) which is rare along with the additional Tilt Steering that was nearly unheard of in 1970. It was also built with the LS package containing both front and rear sway bars. Unlike most surviving SS's it still has its original 12 bolt rear end and Turbo 400 transmission. Center console with Horse Shoe shifter and AM Radio. This car has the In-Dash Tach and Clock. The Functional Cowl Induction hood that only came in 1970 is not only there but works perfectly.
Bringing this car back to life took very little. The Head Liner needed replaced and the center console was completely trashed. A head liner was installed and the center console was torn down and re-done. The entire car was buffed and cleaned up. The Heater Core was replaced along with all the hoses. The vehicles starter was replaced along with new plugs, wires, points, condensor and rotor. The 4 Barrel carburetor was completely reworked and a new carb kit and float kit were installed. The exhaust gaskets were replaced. New Headlights were installed along with new Hood Pins. The entire vehicle was completely cleaned up from the inside out. All of the interior was torn out of it including seats, headliner, carpet and dash were pulled and cleaned. The rally SS wheels were replaced by a set of new Boss rims, 20 X 10's on the rear and 18 X 8's on the front. Running on 245/40/18's and 275/40/20's these rims and tires give it the perfect look. Still using all of its original suspension without any alterations these wheels and tires fit perfect and allow it to be put back completely to original without any effects. I am selling the vehicle with the BOSS rims however the original Super Sport Rims and tires are availible for this car for an additional $800. I drove this car 175+ miles to the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company Auction in Pierce NE on September 28, 2013 and drove it home. With this auction I am including my bidders badge and number from the Lambrecht Auction as well as an official bill of sale from VanDerBrink Auctions on the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company Auction "A time capsule of automotive History". I was there at the Lambrecht Auction and watched their 1969 SS 396 Chevelle sell (http://blogs.hotrod.com/read-all-about-the-lambrecht-chevrolet-auction-at-hot-rod-83315.html/lambrecht-vanderbrink-chevrolet-1969-chevelle-ss396/#axzz2ilmp0Tv4). Their car had 74,000 miles on it, had a tree fall on it and blow out the windows then it sat outside for nearly 5 years, had rust all over the quarters and the trunk was gone, the motor was stuck and the roof was caved in. I watched this car that was almost beyond repair bring $27,000 (http://www.ktiv.com/story/23539928/2013/09/26/lambrecht-auto-auction-in-pierce-nebraska-is-set-to-begin). The car you are looking at runs and drives with only 36,000 actual miles on it. Compare that to their 69 with 74,000 and you need a fork lift to move it. My wife drove this car and put 300 miles on it during a poker run. There simply is no comparison between the two vehicles. Mine is in WAY better condition, is driveable, and can be enjoyed right now. The 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Big Block is one of the most desired Classic Cars ever built. Check out the valuation tool at Hagerty Insurance http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=1379529 it shows the lowest value for a SS 396 #4 car at $32,000. A #3 car is $40,000 and a #1 is $67,800. This is not a #1 and is also not a #4 car either. This is a great value!

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The 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.
