Holy sixties flashback Batman this car will throw you back to your dreams of yesteryear. You will not believe what
this car has to offer. I don’t mean just the rumble of the heavy cam or the snap of your head as you punch the
incredibly responsive 396/375 HP beast into action. It has everything any collector could ask for; especially the
options. First of all it IS a REAL Super Sport. To top that it is a three owner car; first two owners were from
Boise Idaho where it was first sold. Next is the incredible low mileage. The car only has 57,300 ORIGINAL Miles on
it and the vehicles condition inside and out confirm this to be true. Next is the incredible amount of options the
car has: POWER WINDOWS (less than 100 Super Sports came with this option), POWER DISC BRAKES (this was the first
year that they were available and they are also very, very rare). Remote Mirror, Rear Antenna, Console with Bucket
Seats, Turbo 400 Automatic, 4:11 Posi Rear End and a 375 H.P. power plant.
HISTORY:
The original owner purchased the car new from a Chevy dealer in Boise, Idaho in 1967 and kept it in a heated garage
for 30 years. He had driven the car around town on weekends and only put 48,000 miles on it. He was 80 years old
when he sold it to the second owner in 1997.
The second owner, also from Boise, Idaho purchased the car and did a restoration of the vehicle over the seven
years that he owned it. The motor I should mention that the engine was a warranty replaced engine in 1968 (cast
date on block) but the remainder of the drive train is the original 1967 production parts. This second owner
rebuilt the entire engine to the 375 HP specs. He did update the alternator and the intake system to make them more
efficient and powerful. The rear axle (12-Bolt Posi, 4:11) and the Turbo-400 Automatic (shift kit and heavy duty
torque convertor) have been gone through and all clutches and seals were replaced; No leaks anywhere on this car.
All of the body panels are original on this car except for the patch panel at the bottom of the rear quarter panel
on the driver’s side (typical of 67 Chevelles), but was done professionally seamless. The second owner didn’t
care much for the original color scheme (Capri crème (TT) with Medium Gold Buckets (784)) and opted for a Mountain
Green color scheme. Interior material was ordered directly from Chevrolet and was used, as it matched the GM paint
color. All of the repaint and interior work was done very well (about a 8 of 10) and has a slight pro touring look
with the built up edges on the front bucket seats.
Other items the second owner replaced were:
Rebuilt carburetor
New dash bezels – originals never stand the test of time
New Headliner – done at the same time the new interior was redone
New tires and 15 x 8 rally wheels with center caps and trim rings
New exhaust system – 2 ½ inch with series 50 Flow Masters and a balance pipe exiting in the stock placement
New Seat Belts – the factory gold ones didn’t match the new color interior
All new door seals and rubber everything.
New gas shocks on all 4-corners
I am the third owner and purchased the car in 2004 from the second owner where it resides in the suburbs of the
MOTOR CITY (Detroit) in a garage under a custom cover. The car had 56,030 miles on it when I purchased it in June
2004 and currently has 57,300 miles on it today; so in 11 years I actually drove it a total of 1,270 miles which
means limited wear on the car from all the work the previous owners did to this car. I am a bit of a perfectionist
and an ASE Master Certified Auto technician, so there were a couple of items that I wanted to replace based on the
age (not the mileage) of the vehicle since it had such a low usage over its lifetime. I replaced the following
items:
New Radiator – Original one was 40+ years old and didn’t trust the solder to last much longer
New Water Pump – Safety measure since I had the cooling system drained and radiator removed
New front disc calipers (4-piston originals), rotors and pads – calipers were leaking
New Wiper motor (NOS in box) – Original one actually seized up from sitting too long
New fuel tank – not sure what the inside of original one looked like, being safe again
That and a few electrical loose ends were all the car needed since I have owned it. There may be a couple of small
fine tune items to make it concourse; but not many. Everything (Except the original console clock) works on this
car. The rear power windows need to be lubed; they stick when rolling them down so I put slight pressure on them
and they work fine. This car just needs someone to drive it to the shows and haul the trophies home!
SUMMARY:
This car will not disappoint you. It drives straight and easy down the road. The transmission and engine work
perfectly. There are no squeaks, rattles or wind noise. I am not claiming that this car is a 10, but it is an easy
8+. It is all that you would expect from a low mileage 48-year old car and more.

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]

Thu, Aug 7 2014

It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
