1968 Chevrolet Chevelle ss396 true ss car 138 vin code fully restored like new condition
Description: I have up for auction a fully restored 1968 Chevelle SS, from the ground up no expense was spared, frame off restoration was done by a professional restoration shop here on Long Island, engine, transmission, differential, interior and all most everything else was done by myself. The process took over 3 years to complete and was finished in December of 2012. The car has won best in show at 2 different car shows and people’s choice in another 2 shows. I will list all the features below, just to let you know this is not a 10 or 20 thousand restoration the price tag on this was up near $85,000.00 and I did a lot of the work myself, here’s what I’ve got in her:
Engine: 454 LS6 bored .030 461CI, 557HP@5900RPM, 525FTLBS@4500RPM, dyno tested, Balanced and Blueprinted by B&B Machine, Comp cams 595 lift 250* duration, solid lifter, Comp roller rockers and pushrods, Melling oil pump, Edelbrock RPM intake, Holley HP1000, Hooker Stainless Steel Headers 2"/3.5" collectors, Pypes Stainless Steel Exhaust 2.5" out the back sounds great, LS6 forged pistons 11.0 compression, LS6 dimpled steel rods, LS6 forged steel crank, 4 bolt LS6 block and heads rectangular ports, Power adder NOS 150 shot, totally remotely controlled from center console, tank is mounted in trunk (over 700HP). Transmission: M-22 modified custom gear ratio from Auto Gear Inc. I have the matching numbers case it goes with the car but installed is a M-22 Super Case with a 2.56 first, 1.91 second, 1.48 third and a 1.00 fourth gear, trany was built to handle the 700HP. Differential, 12 bolt GM Eaton posi rear 3.73 ratio also fully rebuilt new posi clutch kit and bearings/seals. General:
Period correct looking AM/FM MP3 stereo, buckets, console, original Hurst Competition plus shifter, full Autometer gages. The entire interior is new, seat covers, door panels, carpets, fully Dynomatted floor, pictures speak for themselves way too much to list all new brakes and suspension, Bilstein shocks, boxed rear arms all urethane bushings, rear sway bar, stainless steel fuel tank and straps, the list goes on and on everything was either rebuilt or replaced even the blower motor everything works, it’s like a new car. The differential and transmission are numbers matching the engine is not although as I mentioned prior the transmission case is not in the car at this time but it will be sold with it, the LS6 engine in the car is an icon only produced in 1970 and was rated at 450HP from the factory, that’s why I kept it I could of sold it for a ton of money and purchased a numbers matching 396 but I wanted the icon and an extra 200HP. Body is strait as they come looks like glass. I did change up the wheels you will notice in some of the pics grey SS rims and in the later pics I had them chromed for a better look also a head rest kit was installed after completion, headrests were $111.00 option in 1968... The steering box is a quick ratio unit so when driving steering and handling feel more like a late model vehicle but the original numbers matching box will be sold with the car. This car was also featured in the August 2014 issue of Car Craft Magazine. There are so many things done to this car its hard to list all, any questions feel free to email us.
Payment: PayPal, $500.00 down payment due at auction close, Please ONLY BID if you intend to pay. Questions welcome e-mail us and I will get back to you ASAP. On Sep-22-14 at 17:40:30 PDT, seller added the following information:

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.
