I am offering for sale my 1966 Chevelle Super Sport. This is a California built SS 396 that spent its life in California until I bought it about 8 years ago. It has been stored inside since I have owned it. The Chevelle was stored for a few years under a shed with the rear end exposed to the weather. The rear glass area rusted out along the bottom and leaked into the trunk. I replaced the trunk pan when I first bought it which I show in the pictures and there is rust at the bottom of the left front fender which is cut out and is also pictured. The lower rear quarter needs a patch panel behind the wheel and is also shown. I bought a new panel for between the rear window and trunk but was only planning on using it for the part required to fix the rusted area and the panel is included in the sale.

The motor is the original one for the car and starts and runs good. The transmission has just been resealed at all the linkage seals and the pan gasket and filter has been replaced. The front seal was fine and didn't require any attention. I never found any numbers that would confirm if the transmission is matching to the car.

The A/C had been stripped off the car when I acquired it but I have collected about 85% of the parts to put it back on with. The radiator is not the correct one and leaks some too. All four of the wheels shown are the correct '66 A6 6 inch wheels and have very good tires mounted on them. I have the solid front inner fenders but haven't dug them out of storage yet so they aren't pictured. The floors and rockers and frame are rock solid and very nice. The seats were changed at some time and are not the originals but are '66 seats and correct for this car. All the tinted glass is there and in good condition. The SS hood is an original and in good condition.

When I bought the car it had a flat hood with all of the SS 396 emblems removed, the holes welded up and the car was repainted. It was supposed to have been a street racer while in California is why it was changed to a Malibu appearance.

The TT paint code is for Sandalwood Tan with the 712 Light Fawn simulated leather bucket seat interior with console. The car appeares to have had the gauge dash from the factory but now has the standard floor shift cluster and the knee knocker tach is gone but the original mounting holes are still there.

Ask any questions before bidding and I will expect the deposit within 48 hours of the auction close and full payment within 7 days. Shipping will be at the buyers expense and the car will run for loading but is not roadworthy and will need to be trailered.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
