                                                                                                             1968 Chevelle SS 396/ 350HP    L-34 ,  Show Car!

 

 

 

Ready to Show or cruise, is my rare 1968 Chevelle SS 396/ 350HP    L-34 , with factory  Muncie 4 speed manual transmission,

along with rare original gauge package containing  the 5,500 redline in-dash tachometer.

 

Over the years, I've owned several different types of classic muscle cars, and this particular 1968  Chevelle SS is by far my favorite!  If you are looking for an amazing, beautiful, attention getting  classic muscle car with plenty of overall performance, handling, comfort, and history...  then this is the car for you!

 

Unlike a lot of older  classic vehicles (missing documentation),  my 1968 Chevelle SS comes with its rare  original Dealer packet that contains the original Owner Protection Plan and New Vehicle Warranty( Protect-o-plate contained  inside), original owner's manual, service records, and the original owner's various maintenance receipts collected over the years ( can be seen  in auction pics).

 The Protect-o-plate contains vital information (such as vehicle VIN;  type of engine; transmission; rear end; exterior paint color; and other factory installed options ). The Protect-o-plate

 along with the cowl data tag, and VIN on dash of my chevelle all coincide and validate the authenticity of my 138 REAL DEAL 1968 Chevelle SS 396/350HP  L-34 , Muncie 4 speed  car.

This  Chevelle  is also an original bucket seat , factory 4 speed, center console car .

 

HISTORY:

On November 21, 1967

this 1968 Chevelle SS  was purchased brand new at Morris Chevrolet in New Castle, Indiana

and has had only 3 owners to date (me being the third owner).

A stack of original owner’s maintenance  receipts comes with the sale of my Chevelle along with the

original Dealer packet that contains the original Owner Protection Plan and New Vehicle Warranty( Protect-o-plate contained  inside), original owner's manual, service records.  

  

Approximately 2 years ago,

my  Chevelle   was completely disassembled  and then  fully restored .

(Prior to restoration, my Chevelle was solid from top to bottom. Solid frame and all original solid body panels.  Even more impressive, is that  the roof  had  no rust issues usually caused by vinyl tops trapping moisture ).

A meticulous  show quality paint job was applied  ( performed by a very reputable local Custom body/paint  shop)   keeping with its  correct factory original exterior color ( cowl tag code: P2) Seafrost green with black vinyl top .

The entire  interior was  restored to immaculate condition (keeping its factory original black vinyl interior), 

  All factory gauges work properly including the in-dash  tachometer.

  Headlights (high and low beams), tail lights, turn signals,brake lights, side marker lights, reverse backup lights, instrument/gauges lights, glove box light, center console light all WORK properly!

Heater/blower motor/climate controls work GREAT!

 

It’s  396 powerplant  rated at 350 Horsepower runs  perfectly as well as its  

 Muncie M-21 4 speed manual, close ratio transmission shifts smooth  and accurate through all gears (even the correct GL 4 manual  transmission  gear lube was used  when changing fluid).

 12 bolt positraction  rear end  with the 3.55 gear ratio (all internal gears and components  in excellent condition).

 

This Chevelle runs GREAT! Starts right up even in cold temperatures. Does not leak, smoke, or burn oil . Engine runs super cool (average running engine temperature stays around 180 degrees F )

 Also, my Chevelle has factory power steering ( original power steering  pump with separate original reservoir  mounted to the driver side fender), along with factory power brakes.

 

Just to re emphasize ….This Chevelle starts, runs, shifts, stops and drives EXCELLENT!!!!

 

Another rare feature with my Chevelle is it's interior code 766 (as shown on cowl tag/see pic). I have yet to find  another 68 Chevelle SS produced out of the Atlanta plant with a 766 interior code. 

Furthermore, the trunk is nicely detailed with correct mat, spare tire, and bumper jack assembly.

 

I have a Clean and Clear Indiana title.

 

If you have any questions, then  I strongly  encourage you  to ask  questions.  I will  do my best to answer all questions in an expedient manner . 

 Also,  I am more than happy to let you come to my residence and  inspect my Chevelle in person (if you are a serious bidder/buyer looking to purchase a superb classic muscle car ).

  

Please…serious bidders only. Absolutely  NO  bidders with 0 feedback  ( I will cancel your bid).

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models

Fri, Jan 30 2015

While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, Jun 14 2015

The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
