This car will need a FULL resto. it's an orig SS 396 with 4spd Red with White stripes and Red interior. The orig frame cracked on both sides behind the front wheel wells and was replaced with a 68 frame. So it now has a 10 bolt posi with 308 gears and a Th400 in it that was in the 68 frame. There are no coolant lines for the trany and the driveshaft is in trunk. The motor Runs Great, no smoke or wierd noises, rebuilt Q-jet, HEI dist new plugs wire's cap and rotor. NO interior don't know what happen to it but it does have the factory mounts for the console and the bucket seats. It has p/s but pump is gone but i have the brackets. it has Power Front disc brakes and i put a rebuilt master on it but didn't bleed the brakes yet and i still have the orig Master (casting number 5468309) and it is stamped with (BA)the SS big Block code on it. It has full 3in exhaust with hooker comp header with 3 1/2in collector. i looked up the casting numbers 3969854 on block and they come up 69-71 396 350hp. the carb numbers 7029207-1494 come up 1969 also but the motor is Not the Orig one. car was last on the road in 1987. it has 72,110mi on it. big block car's tach Redline at 5500 as does this one and the wiring under the dash is Orig and not cut up as if someone put the tach in later. I dont have any documentationon on the car saying it's an SS. The car has been off the road since 1987 and they didn't make many repo parts back then and the SS trim on the dash looks to be Orig. if i had the Doc's i'd be asking alot more. it is what it is. the VIN is 136379G309321 and PLEASE don't email me and tell me a 136 is Not an SS. in 1969 they NO LONGER USED 138 as a code for an SS, do your homework. they were ALL 136's. it will need lower 1/4 panel's and the outter wheel well's on both side's. trunk has one very small spot of rust i used a Yellow grease pen to outline the rust in the pics. both door's have rust in the front bottom corner's i have a good driver's door. Two small rust spots on floor, again outlined in Yellow. One spot about 1in wide by 1 1/2in long in the top front rocker panel under the door. you have to open the right door and look down. It will need lower windshield panel replaced. dent in pass door but i'd replace it cause of rust anyway. lower right front fender was patched will need to be redone Below the bodyline. driver side is good. Hood has no dents or Rot just surface rust. roof just has surface rust and some small dents. Under back seat is rust free. back window looks good too. All the body mounts are rust free. New right hood hinge but no spring. The Grill is from a 68 but i have the 69 Grill.. I had a guy come look at it who has restored alot of 69's he didn't want it because of the lower 1/4's but he said he's 95% sure from what he saw it's an Orig SS. He also said ALL Malibu's had long molding going down from the Eyebrow all the way to the wheel well opening. The SS did not. and there are no holes filled where the Malibu's molding would be. if you look in OPG' catalog page 125 at bottom right of page the Malibu has the long molding SS does Not. Also same as for the back panel of the car. No hole's filled where the Malibu would be on the right side just the SS in the middle. I have to many pics to put up here so email me and i will send you all i have. Any Question let me know. thanks

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?
Wed, Mar 9 2016You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
