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 recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore

Thu, Mar 12 2015

General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:

New GM subcompact SUV spied, could be a Chevy or GMC

Mon, Aug 13 2018

GM's pair of subcompact crossovers have been trundling along for a while now. The Buick Encore was the first for Americans in the 2013 model year, and the Chevy Trax that was based on the Encore (an encore of the Encore, if you will) arrived for the 2015 model year. Each has undergone a mild update, but these spy photos could indicate their replacements are in the works. Or not. For starters, we can't be sure which GM brand this new SUV is destined for. Though the timing and its flowing lines could indicate Buick, the thick horizontal bars visible in the grille would indicate otherwise. The next Encore being at least related to this is at least a possibility. Making the case for GMC are those thick grille bars, the fact that it extends far below the lights, and may even rise above them, similar to the Acadia. And that rising beltline isn't that different from that of the Acadia. Arguing against the GMC idea is the Encore, which is almost always sold in GMC-Buick combo dealers. Much as the Acadia was made smaller to eliminate confusion and in-house competition with the Enclave, it's hard to see GM opting to resurrect such an issue at the bottom end of the SUV market. That means we're leaning toward this little SUV wearing a Chevy bowtie. The split grille with a large lower section and small upper section is the brand's current design language, as seen on the new Malibus and Cruzes. The shape is vaguely Equinox-like. And like Buick, Chevy also has a subcompact crossover ready for replacement: the Trax. Now, our photographer reports he's seen another subcompact testing that has Blazer design cues, but in this crossover-hungry market, we wouldn't be surprised if two similarly sized but differently styled Chevy crossovers make the grade. It's a strategy that's working pretty well for Jeep. We'll no doubt be seeing more of these disguised test vehicles milling about the country in the coming months, so perhaps we'll eventually get a better idea of what this is before more official information starts trickling out within one or two years.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
