Hello,
Thanks for looking at my auction.This is my 68 Pro Street Chevelle that I've owned since 2001 originally built by JEPRORODZ.COM in 2000. Of coarse it didn't look like this but I posted a pic of what it looked like when I got it.The color is Cortez silver and was done here locally in 2009. Still shows great with only a couple of chips (which I have touched up) The interior was done by Seat Cover King in 2008. The motor was built by Shively Speed and Machine in late 2010. The wiring and numerous other items was done at Street and Strip Performance here in Louisville, KY.
This is a ladder bar car with the entire back half supplied by Chassis Engineering, 4 wheel manual disc brakes, rear are Wilwood, front are Jeg's slotted and drilled, Strange master cylinder,12 bolt 488 Posi with C-clip eliminators. Tires are MT Sportsman 33x 21.5 with "Bob Glidden" Pro Star rims. It has a built 3" driveshaft by Republic Diesel.
The car still retains the key start option but it has been upgraded with an ARC switch panel. The tach is a high end Auto Meter Pro Comp with shift light and dual range.The shifter is a Cheeta with the reverse pattern, Line lock on the console and trans brake button on the handle.
The engine is a BBC 496..Eagle forged rotating assembly, SRP forged pistons (10.25-1 comp.). The cam is a solid roller by Comp Cams 652 lift..262-272 duration @50. Lifters and springs are Lunati..I believe the push rods are from Smith Bros. (had to order a special length because of the heads) Rockers are Crane gold series with stud girdle and poly locks on top. Heads are Pro Topline 320's (now called RHS)...2.25-1.88 Manley Severe Duty valves. Cloyes double roller chain with torrington bearing and thrust button. Melling oil pump with an 8qrt pan. Hooker 2 1/8 headers with Flow Master Delta 3" mufflers, MSD dist , ignition box and coil.. Nice Chrome CSR electric water pump..Dual Derale fan kit with a high end Griffin radiator(1-55272-x)...This motor runs cool! Blower is a Weiand 6/71 with Holley 750's jetted at 91 squared. Power valves are blocked off. This motor is set up to run fat and timing is locked and set at a safe 32 degrees with the blower running 12 percent under. Probably makes a safe 800 HP on pump gas but flip the pulleys change to some VP 116, move the timing to 36 degrees and who knows! The engine has approx. 75 miles (maybe) on it since it was installed in the spring of 2011.
The Trans is a built JW with the upgraded clutch discs and Cheeta manual valve body/brake reverse shift pattern and the torque converter is a TCI 10" with a 3600 stall on the brake..4000 on the flash (don't remember the part number...242200?) it's a good one made for this app. The trans also has is own Be Cool fluid cooler with fan.
The head lights, tail lights and turn signals work. Wipers work but I removed the arms..you can have them...I never drive this car in the rain...ever! Glass is good, door windows roll up. Speedo does not work and it drips oil occasionally (not bad), probably from the excessive crank case pressure under boost. This car was put together with the best of parts..adult driven and proudly maintained. I have been a good stewart to this car but am getting older and don't seem to drive it much anymore. I will entertain partial trades but guys I won't be giving you $20,000 credit for your $10,000 car..I am no dummy! This car has always been a driver for me. It is not a Barrett Jackson car but it is well above average and you would not be embarassed at any rod run. The opening price is the reserve.
Due to the nature of this car it is sold "AS IS" "WHERE IS" ask questions or come and see the car in person, I have no secrets. I will assist in the shipping you arrange.

Junkyard Gem: 1985 Chevrolet Sprint
Thu, May 21 2020For 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.

Peter Max staring down $1M lawsuit over Corvette collection sale
Wed, Dec 17 2014Pop artist Peter Max recently sold off his collection of 36 vintage Chevrolet Corvettes – one each from 1953 to 1989 – for an undisclosed amount. The new owners have already announced plans to restore some of them and auction the models off sometime soon. Up until then, the sports cars had been languishing in various garages around New York City for decades and were caked in dust and grime. However, Max's end of the transaction has just become more complicated, because two men are suing the artist claiming he employed them to complete the deal first. The men allege that Max hired them to broker the sale of the 36 Corvettes in exchange for a 10-percent commission, according to the New York Post. They claim to have emails and text messages proving the existence of the deal, and are taking Max to court for $1 million over the squabble. The collection of Corvettes was amassed in 1989 as part of a prize package from the television network VH1, and Max bought the cars from the winner intending on using them for an art project. He never got around to it, though, and parked the sports cars around New York, until he finally sold them over the summer.
