You are bidding on my 1965 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 2-door post coupe. Out of the 378,000+ Chevelles produced in 1965, just over 8,000 were the 300 Deluxe 2-door post coupe model, making it very rare today. The post coupe is favored by drag racers and hot rodders for its light weight and rigid body.

The interior features correct OEM '65 low-back bucket seats and full rear bench. Door panels are good, brand-new carpet, door sill plates, trunk divider, package tray, glove box liner and headliner. While not perfect, the interior does looks very good. The dash features a vintage Sun Super Tach II tachometer front and center for a nice clean look, while accessory oil pressure and water temperature gauges monitor the vitals. The speedometer and engine warning lights work, as do the head lights, tail lights, and brake lights. A new B&M Pistol-Grip Quarter Stick shifter is mounted on the floor to handle the shifting duty. Overall, the interior looks and feels comfortable, clean, and complete just as it is.

The engine is a High Performance 1970 396 Big Block, rebuilt with under 30K miles; still tight and fresh. The engine internals include 10.25-1 compression flat top pistons, mild performance hydraulic camshaft and lifters, high volume oil pump, and a balanced bottom end. The heads have been surfaced, have a 3-angle valve job, dual valve springs, screw-in studs, pushrod guide plates, and poly locks. The top end features a Holly Street Dominator aluminum high rise intake, while a high-volume electric fuel pump delivers the fuel to a new Edelbrock 750 carburetor, sparked by an HEI ignition. The custom driveline was professionally balanced.

New Hooker big-tube headers and full 2 1/2" dual exhaust with X-pipe handle the exhaust. A Champion custom 4-row aluminum high-capacity radiator keeps the engine running at under 190 degrees. Oil pressure is strong and steady. New plugs, wires, battery, alternator, regulator, starter, belts, and hoses. Fresh engine oil and filter, as well as 50/50 antifreeze. The engine is backed up by a '70 Turbo 400 automatic and 10-bolt rear end. The transmission was also just serviced with new fluid, filter, and pan gasket.

The engine/trans combination is in good, strong running condition with a fresh professional performance tune-up.

The entire underside of the car has been cleaned and painted, with almost all the fasteners having been replaced as well... looks great underneath. Front suspension has been redone with new shocks all around, new brakes, and restored '71 Chevelle Rally wheels with new trim rings and inserts mounted with good Daytona radial tires. Manual steering is tight and surprisingly easy to steer; manual brakes work great with solid pedal feel.

The body appears to be virtually rust-free; I can't find evidence of any outer-body rust anywhere. The trunk has been restored to original speckled paint and looks great; no rust there either. It was originally Turquoise Metallic, and is now in gray primer.

The chrome is nice, the stainless is good but not perfect, and the glass is very good. All the windows roll up and down smoothly, doors open and close well, panels align well.

It still needs the outside, dual mirrors, lower body "300" belt moldings, front marker lights, and license plate lights. Inside, passenger side- and rear arm rests, and a paint job.

As you can see, the car is still what I'd call a light project. I believe I've priced the car fairly to leave some room to finish it out and still be right-side up. All the big stuff is done and the car is a great runner/driver as-is.

While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind it is a 47-year-old classic, and therefore being sold "as-is," without warranty expressed or implied.

Please contact me upon auction completion to make arrangements to pay within 3 days by bank wire transfer, major bank cashier's check, or cash. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, and I will make myself available to your carrier for pickup and loading. Please, no zero-feedback bidders without checking with me prior to bidding.

I am open to a reasonable offer on the car, and you may call me at 360-936-9257 to discuss anything you wish.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
