Your bidding on a 1969  Chevelle SS 396 clone that is exact in every way except a date coded drive train and documentation.  this car was purchased in Arlington Texas in 1995 where it had been sitting in a barn since 1979.  So the car had only been driven 10 years before I purchased it.  the car has been road worthy since 2011.  Since  then I have put about 3500 miles on it.


the car was originally a Malibu that was Butternut Yellow and a black interior.  I changed that to Monaco Orange (aka higher Orange) and a parchment interior.  chrome trim is mostly original to the car except the 3 horizontal grill moulding .  All window trim is original and has been polished, NOS wheel well trim and fender emblems were used as well.  the front bumper is a reproduction while the back one is a rechromed original.  

Paint:  chroma base DuPont with clear applied in 2009.
Engine:  454 bored .030 with forged domed pistons built by "Ohio" George Montgomery.
Trans: 400 Turbo
Rear end:  12 Bolt With a new Eaton posi traction and new 3.73 ring and pinion.
Interior:  Bucket Seats and console. Seat covers and door panels by Legendary Interiors.
Brakes: All new lines, master cylinder, brake booster, rotors, caliper, dust shields, distribution block, rear drums and hardware.
Rubber:  All rubber seals have been replaced.
Wiring:  All electrical wiring harnesses have been replaced with M&H and AAW.
Wheels&Tires:  Wheels are the 1969 YA code with original caps and trim rings.  BFGoodrich 245x60x14 with 3/4 tread left.
Instruments:  Factory Tach and Gauge Cluster restored by Specialty Instruments.
Suspension: control arm bushing front and rear, all components of the front suspension replaced, new gear box, GM rear sway                      bar with boxed control arms.

The car drives good and runs great.  Oil pressure when warmed up is about 45-50 at steady cruise on the highway and at rest in gear has about 30-35 psi at 750 rpms at idle.  if I can answer any questions you might have call me at 937-750-0223.  I will gladly answer them.  I don't want to sell this one but I have another project that is waiting in the wings because of limited space and funds and letting this one go to a good home would help that one as well.

If dealers call me I don't think your going to like my bottom price so you can sell it for a major profit.  No trades and I will not sell to anyone that is outside the borders of the US.

GM might outsource vans to AM General

Thu, Nov 26 2015

General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.

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.
