1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Survivor
Matching numbers car with 325HP/396 engine, TH 400 transmission and 12 bolt rear end. Power steering and power brakes. Original Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. Cranks, runs and drives and stops great. 126,000 original miles. Special order paint, Carolina Blue.
Car was purchased in July 1969 in Statesville, NC and stayed there until 1993 or 1994. Moved to Georgia where it stayed until 1998 or 1999 when it moved to OH for 10 years where it was garage kept while waiting to be restored. The owners never got around to it and it was sold to an Alabama owner where it was garage kept for the last 5 years.
Car has never been apart so build sheet is still in car, but I have original dealer invoice, NC inspection sheets, protecto plate, owners' manual and one set of never used original keys on the dealer's keychain.
The car is a real survivor and almost completely original, including paint, bumpers, interior, tinted glass, trim and wheels (wheels have been restored). To my knowledge, only exhaust, radiator, brakes, belts, hoses, tires and air cleaner have been changed from original. I don't believe engine has ever been out of car. Original AM radio, heat, lights, wipers, signals, etc. all work great. All gauges appear to work properly. Fuel gauge started acting funny today but worked fine until now. Needs one headlight and a taillight bulb replaced.
It needs a headliner, the Chevelle emblem on front of car, a clip on driver's window handle, a small tear in the driver's headrest repaired and a new latch for glove box. Paint is not good but is original Carolina Blue special order (documented on invoice). Stainless is great. Wheel well molding trim is really good but has a couple of dings.
Car is remarkably solid and straight with only surface rust other than very small places in very bottom of rear quarters just behind rear tires, inside bottom rear corner of passenger door and inside driver corner of trunk lid. No bondo or other body damage that I can find. Bumpers are very straight but need rechromed. Underside of car has only surface rust. Car has plastic inner fenders that I was told were factory installed and they need a couple of epoxy patches.
Car is currently registered in Alabama and they don't title cars that old. I can sell via bill of sale and registration or have an open OH title.
Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early at any time. $500 deposit due via paypal within 24 hours of auction end. Balance due via wire or cashiers check within 5 days. Car should be picked up within 2 weeks of auction end unless prior arrangements are made.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]
Tue, Apr 1 2014UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales
