1964 Chevelle Ss Body # 2 The Holy Grail Of All Chevelles on 2040-cars
Federal Way, Washington, United States
Here is a 1964 Chevelle SS that is Body # 2, serial # 3 which means it was the second Chevelle V8 SS produced and number 3 off the production line. There is no way to know if the # 1 Chevelle SS V8 was number one or number 2 off the production line, all I know is that the first and second 1964 Chevelle SS's were built in the first three cars off the production line in 1963 and there is no known record of the # 1 Chevelle SS that can be found or know if it even exist today.
I bought this car several months ago from a guy who had owned it for the the last fifteen years. He painted the car a different color, put in a new 350 engine and added a M21 4 speed trans with 373 gears. I decided to restore the car back to the original color and condition and install the correct engine and transmission so I stripped the car down to bare metal and found that the rear quaters needed to have new skins on them so I have installed them and am currently doing the rest of the body work and getting it ready to paint, I have spent countless hours on this car so as to do it the correct way. I have decided to see if someone wants this car the way it is so they can have it restored the way they want not the way I want. I'm in no hurry to sell this car but it is for sale, and if I don't get my price then I will finish the car myself, as I have restored several cars over the years and I know what it takes, lots of time and money. I have the original bumpers and most all the original trim, but it will need to be restored. I also have some new interior door panels but they are black and not correct, the guy I bought the car from was going to do black interior. The motor pictured here is the correct 283, 220 hp 4 bbl with the correct intake manifold, correct exhaust manifolds and carb. as well as the correct matching powerglide trans. The car has epoxy DP50LF on it for a sealer and then 1 gal. of Evercoat Feather Fill which has been guide coated and block sanded. There will have to be more Evercoat and block sanding until body is perfect. The Chevelle doesn't show it's best because of the work being done on it right now, sorry about that. This car does drive under it's own power, running gear all new, including brakes. I will probably only list this car once and if it doesn't sell, it will go off the market until fully restored. The pics of the car in grey color are before I stripped the car. I'm sure if your interested in this Rare Chevelle SS you'll have questions and I would be more then happy to answer them. I will not give out my reserve information, but thank you for looking. Keep in mind that this just might be the oldest Chevelle Super Sport in the World.

On May-02-14 at 15:09:39 PDT, seller added the following information: I have added pics of the way the car left the factory in the colors, drivetrain, and engine plus trim including the bumpers with the bumper guards. Thses pics were found on Marc Schiliron's Classic Cars. I believe the car deserves to be restored like this for the historical value and because it's the begining of a great car line. I have the bumpers with the guards as seen and 90% of the original trim, hub caps, original seats as seen in my pics, auto console ect. Please note that most of the trim will need to be restored. I think this Chevelle SS should be in a Museum when fully restored. |

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon
Sat, Jun 20 2015MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.
Nissan Leaf sets new November sales record, Chevy Volt drops again
Tue, Dec 2 2014When you talk to people in the plug-in vehicle industry, one theme you hear repeatedly is that the more plug-in cars that are out there, the better things are for everyone. One reason is that more EVs build a need for more public chargers, and more chargers mean more people see that plugging in is feasible. But there's still something to be said for old-fashioned competition, and in the sales race between the two long-running plug-in vehicles in the US, the Nissan Leaf is resoundingly beating the Chevy Volt for 2014. In fact, it won't be long before the EV's cumulative sales top the PHEV's. But that's a topic for another month. For now, we have the sales results from November. Unsurprisingly, Nissan set another monthly record (that is, the best Leaf sales in any November, the 22nd time in a row we've seen a monthly record) with 2,687 sales last month. That's up 34 percent over last November and up 35 percent year-to-date. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of electric vehicle marketing, said in a statement that, "Our 'Kick Gas' ad campaign and 'No Charge to Charge' launch in Chicago and Atlanta drove an increase in November Leaf sales. Even with gas prices falling across the country, consumers appreciate that the cost of driving a Nissan Leaf is still a fraction of that of a gas-powered car." Over on the Chevy side of the ledger, there were 1,336 Volt sales last month, down 30.4 percent from the 1,920 sold in November 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 16.4 percent and Chevy has sold 17,315 Volts in 2014. As we said last month, the Volt slump might be due to people waiting on the new version to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show next month before going on sale in the second half of 2015. So far in 2014, Nissan has sold 27,098 Leafs. Look for our detailed post of US green car sales in the near future. Until then, please discuss last month's Leaf and Volt sale in the comments, below.
