This is a real Teddy Bear on the road You'll absolutely love the way she rides!! If you are in the market for a good convertible but your bank account or wife won't allow you the expense of $40+K of a big block SS then this may be the car for you! Lets get this out of the way first, So we don't waste your time, This car looks awesome in pictures and even in person from as close as 5 foot away, BUT If you want a show car this car WILL have to be repainted. This car has been frame off restored and everywhere you look its very clean and nice!! The paint is cracked about in a few different areas. (I took pics of the two worst spots) A good paint guy could probably spot around on her but if was mine to keep I'd have it repainted all over Or just simply ride it and enjoy it like it is. This car has had just about every piece you can think of replaced new or restored to new condition. It offers one of the straightest, most solid rust free ALL original sheet metal bodies I have ever seen! Everything fits and lines up great!! The floors, trunk etc appear to be all original with NO signs of rust or rust repair!! This car is nicely detailed throughout and is very clean top to bottom! Beautiful color combo of azure bronze on bronze. This is probably one of the finest riding and driving classic cars I've had in a while. This car hits the road smooth and tight and has no known mechanical problems. ALL the chrome, stainless, emblems, bezels, interior, convertible top, rubbers, seals, etc, show excellent and was all replaced new at time of restoration!!! We were told this car is matching numbers 283, I couldn't find a # on the motor to correspond with the vin on the car but all of the date codes line up. We were also told the motor trans and rear has been completely gone through during the time of restoration approx 5 years ago or so and has had less than 20,000 miles put on it. It starts with the bump of the key and purs like a kitten. the power glide trans shifts smoothly and the rear end is excellent with a good highway gear approx 2:73. You can lay the top back on this one load up the wife kids or grand kids and cruise anywhere!!! It is equipped with power steering and handles amazing!! Headlights hi low beam, wipers, signals, brake lights,speedometer, horn all work properly! The reverse lights are all I have found that does not work. The car has also had an aftermarket am/fm/cd mounted under the dash that works great! The factory radio is in the trunk and can be mounted back in the dash.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
