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.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
