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!!

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

'Baby Driver' is a car chase movie set to music

Mon, Mar 13 2017

The Fate of the Furious is certainly the 6,000-pound SUV in the garage of automotive movies, but that doesn't mean gearheads are starved for options. The upcoming film Baby Driver looks to be a winner for car guys, featuring exciting chases with cars including a "hawk-eye" Impreza WRX, a Dodge Challenger, and a 1980s Chevy Caprice. The movie is written and directed by Edgar Wright, whom you may know as the man behind movies such as Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And based on the two trailers released so far, seen above and below, it's about a young man by the name of Baby, who is a getaway driver for criminals. He's apparently the best in the business, and the secret to his success is the music he listens to while he's driving. He also wants out, but his boss, played by Kevin Spacey, has no intention of letting him go. Spacey is one of a number of major stars in the film, including Jamie Foxx and John Hamm. The driving action shown in the trailers definitely looks entertaining. The WRX is seen doing an array of drifts and J-turns. There is some driving precision on display here that wouldn't be out of place in a Gymkhana video. And it looks like Wright's attention to detail in his shots and transitions, as well as some solid comedy relief, are all going to be present. The film comes out this August.

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]

Mon, Mar 17 2014

Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
