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.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month

Mon, Mar 31 2014

General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.

Canada opens probe into 250,000 GM pickups, SUVs over brake performance

Sun, Jun 23 2019

Transport Canada, the auto safety regulator, has opened a probe into braking issues in nearly 250,000 General Motors full-size pickups and SUVs after U.S. officials launched a similar probe last year, the agency said on its website. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in November into 2.73 million U.S. 2014-2016 model year SUVs and pickups after receiving 487 reports of hard brake pedal effort accompanied by extended stopping distance that were attributed to deterioration of the engine-driven brake assist vacuum pump. Transport Canada's probe covers 249,700 2015 through 2017 model year vehicles including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon as well as 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado LD and GMC Sierra LD vehicles. The U.S. agency said it had reports of nine incidents of vehicles incurring damage as a result of colliding with another vehicle or fixed object at low speeds and reports of two injuries. NHTSA said if the pump fails to operate, the amount of brake power assist can be significantly reduced, extending vehicle stopping distance. The NHTSA sent GM an information request in a Feb. 7 letter. A GM spokesman said he had no update on the investigation. Reporting by David Shepardson; editing by Jonathan Oatis
