1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
I acquired this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 in 2018 and proceeded to turn it into a RestoMod
with new performance equipment installed throughout 2018-2020. I fitted it with a BluePrint Engines 509ci V8
equipped with a FiTech Go EFI 4 self-tuning fuel injection system, MSD ignition, Billet Specialties serpentine
conversion pulley kit and Doug Thorley headers with a Pypes stainless steel exhaust system. A TCI Street Fighter
700R4 automatic transmission was also installed along with rebuilding the 12-bolt rear end adding a Detroit
Truetrac limited-slip differential, hydraulically-assisted Wilwood disc brakes, adjustable coilover suspension and
power steering. The car is finished in black over a black interior with power-adjustable Recaro seats, a show car
Hi-Res sound system, alarm system, power locks, back-up camera and LED lighting.
The car came finished in Tuxedo Black (10) from the factory and was repainted during previous ownership. Features
include Dapper Lighting 575 Halo HDR/Switchback LED projector headlamps, chrome bumpers, SS396 badging and a Rydeen
Ulta Low Illumination HD CMOS III back-up camera with parking lines.
14″ Super Sport wheels are mounted with 225/70 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires that were installed in 2018. A
Classic Performance Street Beast hydraulic brake assist kit was added along with Wilwood disc brakes with drilled
and slotted rotors at all four corners. A Delphi 14:1 ratio power steering gearbox has also been fitted and the
suspension is the complete Global West Suspension's system that includes coilovers with Viking double-adjustable
shocks, sway bar, control arms with Del-A-Lum bushings, frame supports, anti-bump steer knuckle arms and adjustable
tubular tie rod sleeves.
Originally trimmed in red, the cabin has been reupholstered in black and features new power-adjustable leather
Recaro Orthoped seats bought and installed in 2018 along with custom-fabricated a-pillars, kick-panels, center
console, deck lid blow-through, sub enclosure and finished trunk. Soundskins sound deadening was added to the
entirety of the interior and trunk. Additional amenities include an auto-dimming mirror with a back-up camera
display, Chevelle SS-script floor mats, power door locks, billet switches that operate the high beams, door locks
and speaker illumination... and an iDatalink security system with Shock Sensor, Siren, LED, Hood Pin and Trunk Pin
alarms. The sound system was also installed in 2018 and incorporates the following components:
Sony RSXGS9 Hi-Res digital media receiver
Audison bit One HD Digital Audio Processor w/DRCMP
Five Audison VOCE amplifiers totaling 3,580 watts
AudioQuest parallel RCA and fiber optic wiring for analog and digital connectivity
Eight Morel Elate Titanium speakers
Two JL Audio W6 subwoofers
AutoMeter gauges have been installed in the custom console. The five-digit odometer shows just under 80k miles,
approximately 12k of which I added... with around 9,000 miles driven on the new engine. Total mileage is unknown.
Decoding the body tag reveals the following information:
The engine has a dyno graph from Blueprint Engines showing a maximum output of 658 horsepower and 614 lb-ft of
torque. It was installed in 2019 and is still under the 30 month 50,000 mile transferrable warranty from BluePrint

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king
Tue, Apr 21 2015The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
GM profit dips on truck changeover, but beats estimates
Thu, Apr 26 2018DETROIT — General Motors on Thursday reported a higher-than-expected quarterly profit despite a drop in production of high-margin pickup trucks, as it gears up for new models that are expected to boost profits next year. Like rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, GM is banking on highly-profitable Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks to lift profits, as consumers shift away from traditional passenger cars in favor of these larger, more comfortable trucks, SUVs and crossovers. During the first quarter, the process of changing over to GM's new pickups resulted in a drop in production of 47,000 units. GM Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens said the production drop had resulted in a drop in pre-tax profit of up to $800 million. Earlier this year, GM said its 2018 profits would be flat compared with 2017, but expected its all-new pickup trucks would boost margins starting in 2019. On Thursday, GM reiterated its full-year 2018 forecast for adjusted earnings in a range from $6.30 to $6.60 per share. The automaker said capital expenditures were more than $500 million higher in the quarter because of investments its new pickup trucks and a family of low-cost vehicles under development with Chinese partner SAIC Motor Corp. On Wednesday, rival Ford said it would stop investing in most traditional passenger sedans in North America. CFO Stevens told reporters on Thursday that GM has "already indicated that we will make significantly lower investments on a go-forward basis" in sedans. 2019 GMC Sierra View 21 Photos GM benefited from a lower effective tax rate in the quarter, but adjusted pre-tax margin fell to 7.2 percent from 9.5 percent a year earlier. Stevens said the company's profit margin should hit 10 percent or higher in the second quarter and for the full year. GM said material costs were $700 million higher in the first quarter, and it expects those costs to continue rising. The automaker said it would counter those increases with cost cutting measures. "It is a more difficult environment than it was three or four months ago," Stevens said when asked about rising commodity prices from potential steel and aluminum tariffs announced by the Trump administration. "But we are confident we can continue to offset that." The company reported quarterly net income of $1.05 billion or $1.43 per share, a drop of nearly 60 percent from $2.61 billion or $1.75 per share a year earlier. Analysts had on average expected earnings per share of $1.24.
