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.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
