1969 Chevelle SS 502 Big block. For more pictures see my Photobucket page: http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/rlewisone/library/
For sale is my 1969 Chevelle SS, I have this car for over 20 years. It came originally out of Florida in 1985.
This car has not been painted or had anybody work done since before 1985 and is just now starting to show some bubbling on 1 lower fender and 1 lower quarter. This also was a vinyl top car so it has had some rust repair done below the rear window that needs some attention. Car also has its share of scratches and nicks on it from the past 25 years. Underneath the car is rock solid, it has been completely sand blasted and painted with POR 15. Frame also is perfect. At one time I had a roll cage in it so there has been some floor repair but it was not from rust.
Almost all of the chrome has been re-chromed, polished or replaced. Door, trunk seals window seals and body bushings have all been replaced. The interior has completely been redone from rug to headliner. New seat foams, rebuilt heater core box and new SS wheel just to name a few of the items. With the exception of the aftermarket gauges and the Hurst shifter in the stock console the interior is stock and looks 100% As you can see in the pictures the intake used is way too high to use the stock SS hood but I do have an original one (red in color) that goes with the car.
The engine is a Gen 5, 502 cubic inch block. I bought just the new short block in the crate from my local Chevy dealer and built it from there. All the machine/assembly and test fire was done at the premier hi-po engine builder “Boucher Racing Engines” in Rowley, MA. They started by tearing it down and checking the line bore and deck heights. All the stock stainless rings were dumped in favor of moly rings and a Melling oil pump was installed. Next came angle milling the Brodix “Big Brodie” heads to achieve the desired 10.1-1 compression along with installing the Comp can solid roller camshaft and port matched Brodix intake with a Holley 850 CFM carb. Engine was test run and tuned in-shop before being installed in the car. These build specs and choice of parts was designed by Boucher’s after a previous very similar engine that made 602 dyno horsepower but with a slightly different cam and carb. I was assured my engine would be 550+ horsepower. The engine installation wash finished up with a custom Hitachi high torque mini starter, hooker super comp 2 1/2 ” primary headers, MSD 7AL ignition (hidden behind the firewall) single wire alternator, custom 4 row radiator and all fuel is run in braided lines and AN fitting from the electric fuel pump to the Barry Grant pressure regulator.
The rearend is from a 1966 Chevelle. (overall its 1” narrower than a 1969) It was completely sand blasted, check for straightness and all reinforced welding done. It was rebuilt with a Moroso brute strength posi unit and Richmond 4.10 gears and Mark Williams hardened axles with C clip eliminators and 1/2 lug nut studs. The upper control arms were custom boxed and the lowers were replaced with South Side machine ladder bars. The rearend is bulletproof.
The transmission is the VIN matching turbo 400 that was rebuilt with a Fairbanks shift kit a new hardened output shaft and a TCI 2500 stall converter. The driveshaft is a custom made Denny’s 1330 series unit that is warranted to withstand 700 horsepower.
I’m sure I have left out tons of info so feel free to call or e-mail me at rlewisone@comcast.net or at 781-233-8341

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
