This is a 1969 Chevelle that I have owned since 1995. I purchased this car in Arlington, Texas. The body had approximately 54,000 miles on it and it was not registered since about 1977 until I bought it. It was the most rust free body I had ever seen. It had a hole about the size of a quarter in the passenger side quarter panel. The window channels in the front and rear are perfect and never messed with. This car has went through a frame on restoration and I done most of the work myself except finishing the body, paint and buffing. This car has it's original quarters, doors, trunk floor, floor pans and was stripped to bare metal. I did replace the original front fenders with G.M. N.O.S. that I purchased in 1985. The only repop sheet metal is the trunk lid and it fits nice and shuts great. All the stainless window trim is original and was polished on the front and rear plus the roof rail chrome. The fender well chrome as well as the SS 396 Fender emblems are N.O.S. The grill is the original grill but the chrome trim is repro and fits better than most. The tail light bezels are original and are in really nice shape. The rear bumper is an original OEM bumper that was rechromed but the front one is a repro and both are really nice. The car was originally Butternut Yellow with a black interior but I had it repainted with Dupont Chromabase Monaco Orange with Clear shot on top and installed the Parchment Interior.

The Parchment Interior came from Legendary and the quality surpasses their competition by a mile. The bucket seat foams were replaced as well. It also has a factory gauge package that was restored by Specialty Instruments. All the gauges and speedometer work and the clock keeps perfect time. Also has the optional stock radio plate when the radio would was not wanted. The dash bezel is new as well as the steering wheel. The console is an original one with a repro top bezel but all the rest of the parts and the shifter are OEM.

The engine sitting under the hood was rebuilt by "Ohio George Montgomery" in Dayton, Ohio. It is a 2 bolt main 454 which was bored out .030 and TRW 2465 F domed pistons were installed with the open chamber heads it has right around 9.8 to 1 compression so you can use pump gas. New ARP rod bolts installed and the crank was balanced after being turned .010 on the mains and rods. The camshaft is a Crane .533 .533 lift with 228 duration @ .050 lift with a 108 centerline. The cylinder heads are 049 casting open chamber heads that have had 2.19 intake valves and 1.88 exhaust valves with hardened seats installed and pocket ported by Dave Laird at Heads Up in Dayton, Ohio. Comp cams steel full roller rockers sit on top with 3/8" push rods. The oval port Wieand intake was port matched to the heads and the Q-Jet sitting on top was restored by Eric Jackson of Vintage Musclecar Parts. Distributor is a Petronix Billet Flame Thrower lll with a built in rev limiter set at 5600 rpms. The exhaust manifolds dump into Pypes stainless steel head pipes and they run into Thrush Welded Turbo mufflers then hits the mandrel bent Flowmaster tail pipes and exit out the stock big block exhaust extensions. The whole system is 2 1/2" all the way through. We ran the car on the dyno a couple runs and it made 340 hp at the rear wheels. The engine has 50-55 lbs of oil pressure when cold and when warmed up it has around 30-35 at idle.

Transmission is a Turbo 400 short shaft that was originally in a 1968 Impala. It has been gone through totally with everything new that could be put in. It shifts firm but not enough to destroy u-joints and it will bark the tires easily into 2nd gear when shifting manually. The original kickdown switch works as it should and it has a Hughe's 2500 stall converter that you don't even notice when driving. The 12 Bolt rearend has had a new Eaton Posi intstalled with a new 3.73 ring and pinion with Moser Axles with no wining or roaring going down the road.

The whole cooling system is new with a 4 row radiator, heater core, fan clutch. I have only used distilled water in the cooling system so it has never had tap water mixed with the anti-freeze.

The tail lamp, headlight and engine harnesses have all been replaced with M&H Fabricators stock replacement harnesses. The dash harness and fuse panel were restored as well.

The wheels are original 1969 14x7's SS wheels that have their original trim rings and centers. The tires are BF Goodrich T/A radials that are 245x60x14's that have about 3/4 of their tread left.

The front and rear glass have been replaced and side glass are the original pieces. They operate like they should. All the rubber seals have been replaced.

The power front disc brakes stop very well with new rotors, calipers, dust shields and bearings. All the braking system was new when installed as well as the brake lines from the Right Stuff all the way from the front to the rear including the power brake booster, master cylinder and the wheel cylinders on the rear.

I have put approximately 3300 miles on the car since the restoration process. The suspension is all new under the front including new coils springs and shocks all the way around. The rear control arms are boxed in with the stock G.M. sway bar attached to them.

Buyer is responsible for delivery costs or you could pick it up if your local in person. This car was not originally an SS but I could put it next to any other 69 SS and you would not know any better. I have been next to the real cars and they don't know the difference.

I don't want to sell this car but I am going to have to let her go. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic CarsÂ” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.Â $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.Â $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
