Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport or Yenko Convertible Doesn't every red blooded American man or woman want a bright shiny red 1969 Chevelle Convertible? 1969 was the start of the pinnacle in the Muscle Car era, and a True Red 1969 Chevelle droptop is one of the most highly sought after muscle cars on the planet. They surely don't come around too often. I will point out everything I know about this classic Chevrolet. My business partner purchased this car from a gentleman in East Long Island New York back in 2005. This Chevy was the prior owner's high school car that was stored on his mother's finished concrete floor in her heated garage from approximately 1980 until the trip was made to New York to trailer it back to Wisconsin. The seller's mother wanted her garage back, and the previous owner never found the time to restore it. This Chevelle was last given an inspection in New York that expired on August 16th, 1995 as documented by the windshield decal. The intention was to make this Chevelle into a Yenko convertible. As soon as this car came to town it went right to the mechanics shop. All of the front and rear brakes were completely redone, and the dual exhaust was installed right away. Recently added are the correct 1969 Chevelle chrome tail pipe exhaust tips. The turbo hydromatic 350 transmission was completely rebuilt at the time the brakes were done. The intention was always to drop a nice 427 in this bad boy, but the right one was never found. There is a line on a 427 that is supposed to be completely rebuilt sitting on an engine stand in Muscoda, WI, that came out of a 1966 Corvette. If the new owner would like, we will put them in touch with the gentleman who told us about it. That will be the decision of the next owner if they so desire. The 350 engine may or may not be original to the car, but the last owner was unsure, and neither one of us know how to check Chevy's, nor was it a concern, since the 427 switch was anticipated. This engine does start right up with a new battery, and a new set of AC Delco spark plugs with expensive 8mm high performance Super Stock wires with electronic ignition. The prior owner had lower patch panels put on the fenders, and the doors are both still in good condition. The cowl hood is an original genuine GM steel hood, not an aftermarket fiberglass hood. The rockers are also nice, and so is the trunk lid. New rear quarter panels were recently professionally installed, so all of the hard work is done. The body was gone over with a dual action sander followed by the application of two coats of primer. The drivers floor has a small patch, and the passenger floor has an even smaller patch. The rest of the floors are in very good original condition. The original trunk floor is amazingly solid, and the frame is in really nice shape. I believe the reason the undercarriage held up so well was due to the way this car was always garage kept for all those years, and that it was factory undercoated as shown in a picture. There is a set of four raised white lettered B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A steel belted radials with nice tread mounted on the Chevrolet Rally wheels with all four bolt on SS center caps, and all four beauty trim rings. The trunk pan was coated with AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct, and a new trunk mat was placed on top of the trunk floor. There is a nicely detailed original jack and crow bar with a full size B.F. Goodrich full size spare tire on a matching wheel. The bumper portion of the jack even has 1969 Chevelle stamped on it. Should there ever be a mishap, having the proper equipment you can be back on the road cruising in minutes looking complete. About three years ago a new white convertible top was installed with the black glass window option. This car has never been driven except to and from the body shop, so the top was never really used. The dash pad has several cracks, so a new dash pad will need to be purchased. An original Delco AM radio is in the dash, but not hooked up. This Chevelle originally had a red bench seat interior, but it was switched over to the white bucket seats, and the console with the horseshoe shifter as shown in the pictures. The bucket seats and the back seat are all in very nice condition, and were purchased from another muscle car enthusiast that gave up on his convertible restoration. The male front seat belts are missing, and the passenger rear window is not completely on the track. The other windows do roll up and down as they should. The gas pedal was missing, but a replacement is included. The black carpet is newer with the extra padding, and was installed when the bucket seats were mounted. The column shift is still hooked up until the winning bidder hooks up the floor shifter linkage. This is a relatively simple transformation that can be done within a few hours. A small hole needs to be cut in the hump on the floor, and a floor shifter cable just needs to be hooked up to the transmission. We will supply a shifter cable with the horseshoe shifter, and console. This is a much better look in these convertible's than a bench seat. There is a brand new triple plated chrome front bumper, and all four new wheel opening moldings were installed last week. Both rear tail light chrome bezels with new gaskets were also just installed. We've both seen non-numbers matching 69 Chevelle hardtops bring in excess of $60,000 simply cloned as a Yenko, but this Chevy would also make an awesome Super Sport. This Chevelle came out of the factory ordered new in triple red. That is a very rare combination, but the way this Chevelle is set-up it will be the choice of the winning bidder to paint this convertible any color their heart desires, and to make this Chevelle into a Super Sport or Yenko of their dreams. Basically, everything should be gone through on this sweet Chevelle to complete the restoration, but we believe all of the hard work has been done. The registration was placed in my partner's name in 2011, so the title is open, clean, and clear from the state of Wisconsin in his name. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide that anyone can look up on-line has the 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Convertible with a 350 engine, and the Super Sport package valued at $98,310 in high condition, which they consider an excellent overall vehicle that was completely restored, or an original vehicle showing very minimal wear. Note: This value does not represent a 100 point show car or a #1 vehicle. Those vehicles can reach much higher prices. $60,610 in average condition, which they consider in good overall condition that could be an older restoration or a well maintained original vehicle that is completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. They say an average condition car is considered a 20-Footer! They have the lowest condition value at $31,755 being considered a deteriorated restoration or a very poor restoration, but mostly usable "As-Is!" The lowest value does not represent a parts car. Naturally this model is not that exact model, but with the Yenko striping package we personally believe this rare gem is very capable of reaching those type of prices, furthermore if the new owner were to place a 427 cubic inch engine under the hood, we think this droptop could reach 6 figures if done to Barrett-Jackson standards. The numbers don't lie! This Convertible is a very valuable automobile! These Chevelle convertibles have consistently shown to escalate in value with each quarter. Whether you had one as a youth and would like to recapture that glory or you just want to drive around a bank account, this may be the droptop you've been dreaming of. If you really want to make yourself one spectacular looking convertible be prepared to be the spectacle of the neighborhood. Everywhere you drive these cars people are attracted to them like a magnet. These cars are getting harder and harder to come across. Why pay the inflated prices like those listed above when you can own the same looking car for a reasonable amount of money?? No one will know that this car is not an authentic Yenko except the new owner and us. We're not telling anyone!! Yes, we do know they never made a Yenko Convertible. We're fairly certain that the Yenko Chevelle's, Camaro's, and Nova's were all hardtops. This is a prime opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a fraction of that price. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into preparing the car shown in this description. What you see is exactly what you get! A complete set of white Yenko stripes are included in this auction. When we write a description we try to describe all of the pertinent information, so any potential bidder can make the most informed decision possible before placing their bid. If there is anything else you feel we may have missed, please ask me any question you like. we both pride ourselves in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This cool All-American classic muscle car convertible is being offered at "No Reserve" on a quick 3-day auction that ends on Sunday at 8pm Eastern time, 7pm Central time, and 5pm Pacific time. The new owner can be painting this Chevy by next weekend!! Thank You for taking the time to view our auction! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV

Sat, May 30 2015

Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
