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!!

GM pickup truck plant in Flint to add 1,000 assembly workers

Tue, Feb 5 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors said Tuesday it will add 1,000 workers to build new heavy-duty pickup trucks at its plant in Flint, Michigan, and will give priority to GM workers who were laid off elsewhere. The announcement comes the day after GM said it was starting to hand pink slips to about 4,000 salaried workers in the latest round of a restructuring announced in late November that will ultimately shrink its white-collar workforce in North America by 15 percent out of 54,000. GM has come under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and Midwestern lawmakers for its plans to stop production at five North American factories and cut up to 15,000 jobs in all. The automaker has said it is trying to find new jobs for 1,500 U.S. hourly workers at the affected plants. Flint's truck plant could be a haven for many of these employees. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday will celebrate the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. Elsewhere in the company on Monday, two people briefed on the cuts in the white-collar salaried workforce said GM is cutting hundreds of jobs at its information technology centers in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Michigan and more than 1,000 jobs at its Warren, Michigan Tech Center. GM is filing new required mass layoff notices with state agencies and disclosed the cuts to lawmakers. The largest U.S. automaker announced in November it would cut a total of about 15,000 jobs and end production at five North American plants. The cuts include eliminating about 8,000 salaried workers, or about 15 percent. GM cut about 1,500 contract workers in December and said 2,300 salaried workers accepted buyouts, officials said. "These actions are necessary to secure the future of the company, including preserving thousands of jobs in the U.S. and globally. We are taking action now while the overall economy and job market are strong, increasing the ability of impacted employees to continue to advance in their careers, should they choose to do so," GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said, adding the bulk of the cuts should be completed in the next two weeks. Morrissey said GM would provide salaried workers with severance packages and job placement services.

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
