 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 138 VIN makes this car a true SS not a clone. Car was well optioned from the factory with power brakes, front disk brakes, roller tachometer, horseshoe shifter, front bucket seats and air conditioning. I had plans of doing the car up to keep for good, but life has gotten in the way and need a down payment for a house more than I need the car. That is the ONLY reason I am selling her. Have done a lot of work to her over the years.

 She rides like new on a new set of front QA1 Coil Over Shocks, ball joints, and bearings. All this comes to a better stop with freshened brakes, new stainless steel brake lines all the way, new flex hoses for the factory front 4 piston disk brakes, new master cylinder, plumbed with fresh DOT 5 fluid.

 The entire front clip, fire wall, bottom of hood, cowl drain, and frame has been treated to a few coats of POR 15 then a matte chassis black for several coats of protection. The fenders were painted inside while the inner fenders were out for further corrosion resistance. A new core support was installed as the original had corrosion due to a bad battery at some point. The new one was powder coated to match for durability. While the front clip was off replaced the left cowl panel and left cowl shoulder panel, these were the only corroded panels. Were put back in place with spot welds as the factory would have done. Front clip installed with a Front End Fastener Kit from 396SS.com.

 The engine was treated to a fresh coat of Chevy Orange, Weiand Aluminum Intake, mild Comp Cams cam, Comp double roller timing set, Comp valve spring set, Comp roller tipped rocker arms for a slightly healthier demeanor. To feed the 454 a Fast EZ EFI 4 barrel 1000 CFM throttle barrel sets on top the new intake. The kit comes with all the high pressure fuel hose, O2 Sensor, hand held programmer, and installed a new fuel tank to ensure no trash would pass through the new system. Turn the key and she's there, no cold natured, no padding the throttle, just ready to ride! All this is kept cool with a Champion 3 core aluminum radiator, new water pump, hoses, and duel Derale electric fans. To help the spark out a MSD 6AL ignition was installed. 140 amp alternator from Summit Racing was added to keep the power sufficient, and a Summit Racing mini hi torque starter to help get things going. A factory style engine wiring harness was installed from 396SS.com, came made for an internally regulated alternator and for HEI ignition system. New power steering pump, all new belts, fresh fluids everywhere, new motor mounts and Trick Flow throttle cable bracket put on so everything flows and works properly. Power goes through a fresh 700R4 overdrive transmission to a new balanced driveshaft from Southwest Speed to the 12 bolt rear end. That is all I know about the rear, the tag has been removed prior to me acquiring the car.

 Inside you are greeted by a new dash face plate, new a/c vents that blows the ice cold (or hot) air from the vents, the floor, or windshield defroster from the Vintage Air heating and cooling system. The entire kit is installed under the passenger side dash, blows good and strong, and good and cold on hot days and was charged with R134. New dash, firewall, and kick panel insulation was installed to help keep out engine and road heat and noises. For listening pleasure a RetroSound digital knob style radio was installed with out having to cut the new dash carrier. Radio has a front and rear auxiliary input for iPods, MP3 players, ect., controls for CD changers, and outputs for an amp and subwoofer system. Wires for amp and subwoofer system are ran hidden into trunk for ease of hooking something up. Radio receives well through power antenna in right front fender, and sounds great through RetroSound stereo dash speaker, Pioneer 160 watt 2-way 6.5 kick panel enclosed speakers, and 2 Sony 6X9 3-way speakers installed under the package tray. Package tray is solid with no cut outs for speaker installation. Trunk, package tray and under the rear seat has been coated in POR15 for corrosion resistance followed by new insulation and factory replacement material. Rear seat does not match front seats and is not correct for the car, was on the list of things to take care of next. Driver seat also has some tears in bottom seat part, all can be noted in pictures. To keep in interior and trunk dry new weather stripping was put in, including all 8 window felts (door and quarter windows, inside and outside). New door hinge pins were put in to keep the big heavy GM doors straight and the seal tight. All windows go up and down with ease and vent windows crank open effortless. New ignition switch, wiper switch, headlight switch and cigarette lighter were installed to keep everything working correctly. After trunk was coated with POR15, it was treated with a few coats of spatter paint for the period correct appearance. Trunk pan is solid with no holes or rust. Car did come with factory air conditioning. I have everything that was removed from car, which appears to only be missing compressor and compressor brackets.

 The exterior of the car is red with black rally stripes. Paint is of driver quality and is not perfect, there are a few chips and slight scratches. The body is solid with a one or two small bubbles behind the front driver tire and under the rear window. Most imperfections can be seen from pictures. The floors are not patched anywhere and are solid! The frame is solid front to back with no modifications! Bumpers are in good shape for age. Wheels are 15 inch rallys with almost new tires.

 If you would like any more pictures or have any questions, please just email and ask and I will reply as soon as I possibly can! Car is for sale locally too, so I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Upon end of auction immediate, non-refundable $750 PayPal deposit must be made with the rest of the funds to me with in 7 days by way of bank transfer, cashiers checks, or cash once funds have cleared car will be signed over.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint

Thu, May 21 2020

For in the 1985 model year, General Motors began selling Chevrolet-badged Suzuki Cultus hatchbacks in California. Sales of the cheap three-cylinder econobox in the rest of North America followed soon after (with the Canadian version known as the Pontiac Firefly), and did pretty well considering the crash in gasoline prices during the middle 1980s. Starting in 1988, the facelifted Sprint became the Geo (and, later on, Chevrolet) Metro. Here's one of the very first Cultuses sold on our shores, found in a San Francisco Bay Area car graveyard. Amazingly, the primitive rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet Chevette remained available all the way through 1987, competing with the thriftier front-wheel-drive Sprint in the same showrooms. For 1988, Pontiac started selling a rebadged Daewoo LeMans, so the Sprint/Metro never lacked for intra-corporate competition. Inside, you'll find the same stuff most mid-1980s Japanese econoboxes got: tough cloth upholstery and long-wearing hard plastics. Suzuki quality in 1985 wasn't quite up to Honda or Toyota levels, but you weren't paying Honda or Toyota prices for the Sprint. MSRP on this car started at $4,949, or about $12,000 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible 1985 Chevette cost $5,340, while a new no-frills Ford Escort would set you back $5,620. Subaru, however, could have put you in a punitively unappointed base-model Leone hatchback for just 40 bucks more than the Sprint that year. I think I'd have sprung the extra for a $5,348 Toyota Tercel, a $5,195 Mazda GLC, or— best cheap-commuter deal of all that year— the $5,399 Honda Civic 1300 hatchback. I was 19 years old and driving a Competition Orange 1968 Mercury Cyclone that year, and I recall feeling pity for Chevy Sprint drivers, new-car smell or not. Still, these weren't bad cars for the price, though a Sprint with an automatic transmission was a real character-builder. Got three cylinders and uses 'em all! 48 horsepower from this hemi-headed SOHC 1-liter. The Turbo Sprint — yes, such a car existed — had a howling 70 horsepower. The hood-latch release is a rectangular button that resembles a badge. 1985 Chevy Sprint Commercial The highest-mileage, lowest-priced car you can buy. 1985 holden barina commercial The Australian-market version was the Holden Barina, and the TV ads featured the Road Runner. 1983 SUZUKI CULTUS Ad In its homeland, this car got screaming guitars and a drive through New York City for its TV commercials.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
