What you are bidding on today is KC of KC's Classic Cars, Bradenton, Florida, own personal ride! It is an UN-RESTORED ORIGINAL 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396, 375 Horsepower L-78, 4 speed, bench seat, 2 door hardtop. She was built for the original owner without any of the creature comforts, no power steering, no A/C, no AM/FM, just an AM radio that still works with a FM converter (remember those) in the glove box and that still works. Just built to go FAST!! The only power that she has is the horsepower and power disc front brakes! I, (KC) have owned her for almost 14 years and am the 3rd owner of the car. The owner that I got her from had her for 18 years and put about 500 miles on her in that period of time. It was a mid-life crisis car for him. He was about to hit seventy and couldn't drive the manual transmission any more. Since I have had the car I have installed:

A) New Centerforce clutch assembly

B) New flywheel

C) New exhaust system

D) New 15 inch (I hated the way the 14 inch wheels looked) SS wheels and BFG T/A's ( 235 70R15) all around

E) Removed the engine 5 years ago, took it apart, new bearings and resealed with new timing chain and oil pump, new water pump, mounts, hoses, belts, and alternator, etc. Everything inside the engine looked like new.

F) On the interior I replaced the front bench seat seatcover when I bought her. There was a small tear where I couldn't get it repaired on the drivers side. The drivers side door panel was faded so I replaced that also, although I kept the old one. The drivers side kick panel was also replaced with a used one. At the time when I bought her there were no new replacements. It is the same color, of course. That's it, in the interior. Everything else is original and in excellent condition.

G) The paint is Cortex Silver and Chevrolet had a problem with this color during 1969. When it rained and the sun would come out the rain droplets would magnify onto the Cortez Silver and dull those areas causing Chevrolet to have to repaint any affected areas. This was one such car. You car see (ever so slightly) that part of the car was re- painted in the same lacquer paint and the same dulling in many areas do still appear. There is no rust on the Chevelle and there never any rust on her. I had the bottom black painted, that bottom strip 13 years ago to make her look better. The black was faded. Check out the photos of the car. There is one little dent at passenger side rear quarter that was there when I bought the car and small dent (smaller that a pencil eraser) near the top of the passenger front fender, near the door.

H) When I bought the car there was a Sun Tach with the sending unit that did not work (still have it) and there was the old chain that was bolted to the engine and frame (old school). The 3 gauges that were in the car when I bought her are still there working great!

I) If you have any questions on my Chevelle, please call me at my shop at 941-747-1800 or on my cell at 941-713-2729. If you need any additional photos of the car, videos, etc, just call, e-mail, and I have many other photos of the car on KC's Classics Facebook page. There are some on kcsclassiccars.com web site also.

Most of these 396/375 hp cars did not survive. They were blown up by their previous owners by drag racing. I can see some evidence of drag racing because of the drivers side rear wheel well trim being worn off on the front, probably from cheater slicks at some period if time. If this car could talk!

The one last thing I have to mention is that I took a loan for my shop expansion using my classic cars as collateral a few years ago and that when you purchase the Chevelle, I will just have you make a cashiers check out my lender so they can send you the title. You won't have to go through me.

There is no warranty implied here. Within 48 hours of the auction ending please place $500.00 in my Pay Pal account and I will get you the bank info ASAP.

You can pick up the car locally and I have the Chevelle for sale locally and have the right to end the auction early if necessary. You can have a shipper pick up the Chevelle as I have sold many of my babies over the years and many of the shippers know us very well. Good Luck on your bidding!!

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
