*** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!***
THIS IS A RESTORATION IN PROGRESS! This is NOT a complete running car. There is still sheet metal work to be finished and a few rust spots left to repair. But all the major sheet metal repair has been done. We are selling this car because we just don't have time to finish it, with running two businesses. We don't have to sell this car we just don't have time to finish it and we'd like to see it go to someone who can finish it. There is some wiggle room on the price but not much because we do have a lot of money invested in this already.


We bought this car in 2011 and had it shipped here from Ohio, bought it sight unseen. We paid a couple grand for this car, knowing that id we didn't buy it this Original Chevelle might have found its way to a scrap yard. When the car arrived the seller obviously did not describe it as it was, the spare tire and gas tank were falling thru the trunk because the trunk had rotted thru entirely, and the rust didn't stop there the more we started scrapping and cleaning out we realized it was in major need of total restoration. We started ordering parts from Ground Up Restoration including a full floor with rockers and all braces, right and left FULL quarter panels, drip rail supports, right and left floor pans to replace where the toe pans had rotted, a full trunk floor with braces, quarter panel extensions right and left side, brand new trunk lid, rear window panel, right and left taillight extensions, tail lamp support brace, right and left firewall brackets, right and left full complete doors (NOT just skins). All the parts with tax and shipping equals almost $5,000, that's not including the cost of putting the parts on. This is what needs to be done to finish- toe pans, front firewall braces are welded on you need to finish welding in the full floor the quarters and the extensions in the back with a spot welder. We didn't have time to finish replacing rear fender wells, we were intending to mini tub the car once we had the floors in place. The braces under the backseat inside the car are screwed in and as a personal preference if you want to replace these or just patch them in since they aren't seen anyway. There are a couple spots around the top of the dash the will need some patches made. Again all this gets hidden under the dash pad and all the stainless trim that goes on the outside. A lot of the cracks and crevices that had some rust on them we sprayed with Eastwood's rust encapsulator, which acts as a navel jelly and stops rust. In the back of the car under the back window valance panel could use a couple patches here and there which again is hidden by the outer valence panel that we purchased new. As far as the frame goes it has its typical rust spots, it can be patched, but we were going to replace it with a box style frame and new suspension so we didn't put any emphasis on that just yet. It is a non-posi rear, front disc brakes, power steering. We have a 400 trans to go with the car, no engine the engine was shot and we do not have it anymore. We have 85% of all the parts we took out of the car, except for, from fenders and hood, and front and back seats. Just a note all the hard sheet metal work is done, it is a lot of work replacing full floors and full quarter panels.Any shop would have charged $10,000 for all this work to be done. My personal opinion if we were to continue with this car I would have lightly sand blasted the rest of the inside of this car.

Car has its clear Certificate of Title from Ohio ( as seen in pic) that we never signed, which we will give at the time of transaction.  We have the original front and rear bumpers, front grill assembly and radiator support they are not in very good condition but you are welcome to have them. Feel free to go on Ground Up Restoration's website and add up all these parts so you can see just in parts how much is invested.

We would prefer local pickup, but we had this car shipped when we bought it we paid almost $700 to have it shipped from Ohio, so if you want to have it shipped, you ave to make the arrangements and pay for it. We will make sure the parts are secure in the car and the body is secure to the frame. But if you have it shipped you might want it shipped in an enclosed carrier because the car is in bare metal.


Please serious buyers only. We have a few more pics showing every detail of this car. The car is in a 1 car garage which makes it difficult to push in and out every time someone wants to see it, Thank you for you understanding.

GM laying off more than 4,000 workers Monday morning

Sat, Feb 2 2019

According to reports from Automotive News, The Detroit News, and CNN, General Motors plans to begin laying off more than 4,000 salaried workers starting Monday morning. In a statement to AN, a spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are not confirming timing. Our employees are our priority. We will communicate with them first." We've been expecting layoffs at General Motors since November, 2018. At the time, the Detroit-based automaker announced it would seek to shed 8,100 salaried employees, shut down five assembly plants in North America, and kill off several slow-selling models. One month earlier, GM offered buyout packages to 18,000 workers and said it would seek to cut its global workforce by 25 percent. A spokesperson said at the time the moves were "proactive steps to get ahead of the curve by accelerating our efforts to address overall business performance." The cost-cutting moves are expected to save GM up to $2.5 billion in 2019 and as much as $6 billion by 2020. David Kudla, CEO and chief investment strategist of Mainstay Capital Management, referred to the impending culling as "Black Monday" and told The Detroit News that the layoffs would begin around 7:30 a.m. and continue in waves throughout the coming days and weeks. GM plans to deliver on its fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 earnings report on Wednesday. President Donald Trump plans to deliver the annual State of the Union address a day earlier on Tuesday. We expect to hear plenty more from both sides over the next several days.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For One Million Dollars

Mon, Apr 14 2014

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.
