1968 Ss396 Rare Pwr Window, Air, Tilt, Numbers Matching Motor Etc...cali Car on 2040-cars
Canoga Park, California, United States

This is a rare SS396/325 Chevelle, seems to be a special order car due to the paint code having a - - paint/trim code. It is white but under trunk seems to have a little pearl in it? Maybe a Buick color? So you could paint it any 1968 color you want and not change the original value. Special order cars in late 1967 could have any color from the GM line so who knows. And the rare options of power windows, tilt and air make this SS unique. Power disc brakes are new and stop on a dime. Rims are original to the car and date stamped. Center caps are original and perfect, trim rings will need replacing but function as a driver. Car is original to California as to why it is so clean and solid.
Whats done already: All suspension, brakes, steering, rear-end, BB springs all replaced with HD versions, poly-graphite bushings, front/rear sway bars. This car drives and handles better than factory. Was a daily driver for me for over a year. AC blows ice cold and everything works as it should. The undercarriage is totally solid with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Floors and trunk are perfect. Frame is perfect. Interior has new upholstery, carpet, dash pad, door panels. Was originally bench seat car. Has new vinyl top, In the process of converting to bucket console car. Have completely restored original tilt column and SS gauges (rolling tach) that go with the car. These are very hard and expensive parts (1500.00 min) to get especially in this perfect NOS condition. The original numbers matching 396 is out of the car on a stand. Prior owner says was rebuilt and stored. Still has assembly lube on it. Car came from an estate and the motor looks as if it was in storage for a while. But it is the original, see pics. I would still break it down and ck it out. The only missing original running gear item is the TH400. But the TH350 in the car is newly built to HD spec with shift kit etc... Rearend is the original correct 12 bolt. The car currently has a 1967 327/275 and a rebuilt TH350 which runs flawlessly in all respects. New 4 core BB radiator. As stated above this car was driven daily from woodland hills to glendale for over a year and never had an issue. No leaks, no overheating, no smoke just simply runs sweet. Always fires right up no matter how long it has been sitting. I will be happy to pull the small block and TH350 and adjust the selling price as agreed upon. What it needs: Obviously paint and some very minimal typical GM rust repair (2 small areas one in pass lower fender and pass rear 1/4) as seen in photos. Console and headliner for interior. Weather strip kit through out. New front glass (crack), A couple trim pieces. Re-chrome front bumper. And that's about all folks. Email me if any questions and please come inspect and drive the car. You will not be disappointed for the value here. This is a 35k+ car when completed. Unfortunately no build sheet, PoP was found or paperwork came with the car when I got it. I have too many cars/projects to complete this one at this point. This is a perfect turn key driver to restore a little at a time while using it. Need to finish my 68 Elco so this one needs to move on. |

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV
Sat, May 30 2015Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.
Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance
Sun, May 13 2018I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive
