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

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain
Sat, Aug 9 2014Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
