Frame off 1970 SS 454 Chevelle convertible project..I've owned this car for 30 plus years.The car was sold new at Schonlaw Chevrolet in Hollywood California in May of 1970.The trim tag is missing but the car was originally red on the exterior with pearl white bucket seat interior.
I have restored many car over the years and have just to many projects right now. I have decided to put this car up for sale at this time. The frame was completely disassembled ,sand blasted and all parts were repainted in detail.When I bought it I was told it was a LS5 car. The car does not have any papers to prove the LS5 option but does appear to be a real SS car. It has all the correct OEM F41 SS suspension. Original rear sway bar and boxed lower trailing arms. Original SS Big Block front springs and sway bar. Factory disc brakes and F41 lower A Arms. The engine is a 1970 3963512 block with the correct 3964290 LS5 heads .The engine was running when I bought the car but I removed the top end and was going to rebuild it. The transmission is a M21 and works fine.It does have a nice clean 12 bolt rear end but not original to the car. The wheels have been blasted and repainted correctly with new caps, rings and lug nuts.Tires are not brand new but but nice. The complete floors were replaced with a 1 piece floor including the rockers all the way from the firewall to the back bumper. Both quarters were replaced as well as the inner wheel houses. The front fenders and hood are also brand new..The doors are OEM rust free originals. I do have a lot of small parts that go with the car. Included in the sale is. All side glass. Nice 4 core radiator Complete 512 long block LS5 engine Bell housing w/clutch and pressure plate Original SS dash wiring Complete convertible top frame.(needs top front header bow, sold new) M21 transmission Windshield trim and rear pinch trim. Front bumper is a fresh rechromed OEM bumper. Back bumper is a older rechromed original but very nice yet. I'm sure there a few thing I have forgotten to mention that go with . This car is in the stages that you could paint it any color or build it anyway you want it. When I get a car to this point and after the body is painted and set on the frame with the engine mounted in the frame, it takes me 2 weeks by myself to have it reassembled and driving down the road.| My reserve is way less than what I have into the car. You can email with any questions. Auction ends Monday evening the 15th On Sep-10-14 at 18:19:18 PDT, seller added the following information: Somebody mentioned the car cant be a SS because it doesn't have the Big Block steering shaft in the picture so I added the picture of the Big Block Shaft I removed off the car. |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
