If your looking for a car to restore here is the one. This is not just a date code correct but an actual 1968 SS 396 with the original engine, transmission, and rear end that came in the car! The partial VIN # is stamped on the block and it still has the original Muncie 4 speed and twelve bolt rear end. Even better still, this car came from the factory with interior from a Buick Skylark. There was around a two month period in 1968 when the factory ran low on interiors for these cars (supposedly because of riots because of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination) so they used other GM interiors. It can be decoded as original by the data plate. That makes this car a little extra special. The engine has been rebuilt and I have included a picture with the valve cover off to show how clean it is. The car is very solid. It will need some floor work, small patches on the bottom rear of both quarters and work on the drivers fender. No rocker rust, trunk just has surface rust and retains a lot of its original splatter paint. No cowl rust. No wheel lip rust. No frame rust through. The top even works when the switch is bypassed. (bad top switch) This would be a big money car fixed and is about as good a car to start with as you will find any more. There is no exhaust on the car but I have fired it up with open headers and it ran great. It has been switched to HEI. I do have the original split bench front seat and rear seat. It will all need to be taken to the springs and redone. Tires will hold enough air to get it on a trailer. The original color combo was Butternut yellow with a black top and black interior. It has had one repaint since the factory and then a thin coat of the cheap primer (not by me :) you see in the pictures. I sanded one of the fenders to show that its not as bad as it looks. Haha.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
