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:

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
