1970 396 SS Chevelle

 

You are viewing a very original 70 Chevelle SS 396/350 horse car with build sheet.  The car has 105K original miles.  The gauge cluster was changed out with a factory tach cluster so the mileage on odometer on the installed cluster is wrong.  The original cluster goes with the car and shows the miles when removed.  The car is a west coast car and was bought in Arizona 4 years ago.  It has primarily been restored, but left with much of its originality.   

 

Please read on for more particulars of the car:

 

What has been done by the current owner:

Complete brake job all around including master cylinder, new power steering box, new radiator hoses, tune up, new exhaust with 40 series Flow Masters including headers and shocks.

 

Body/Paint:  The body is in very good condition with rear fender lips patched.  Front inner fenders are steel from the factory.  The paint is the original color base/clear and is in really nice condition with the exception of some contamination under the paint in a couple areas.  The car was painted 8 years ago.  Right quarter behind door and left front fender (pics available).  Original to the car Cowl Induction hood.         

 

Interior:  The interior is black, but was originally tan.  The interior is overall in very good to excellent condition.  Carpet, sail panels, headliner, seat covers, door panels and package tray were replaced.  The dash pad and seat belts with shoulder harness are original to the car and show signs of ware.  Stewart Warner dual gauge panel with temp and oil.  Column shift bench car from the factory.

 

Running Gear:  The drive train is original and numbers matching.  396/350 rebuilt and runs excellent, original distributor, heads, intake and carb.  Trans is a TH400 rebuilt and shifts as it should.  12 bolt with 331 open gears.  Power steering      

 

Suspension:  The suspension is original to the car and rides excellent with a nice tight feel.  The only component replaced was the passenger side upper ball joint.  New shocks 

 

Brakes:  Stock and restored power. 

 

Exhaust:  2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes with40 series Flow Masters.  Ceramic coated Flow Master headers that happen to be the original test set.  This car was used by Flow Master when they decided to build complete exhaust systems for 70 BB Chevelles.  The plant was located near the car and they asked to do the initial set using this car with jigs being made based on this set installed on the car.  Sounds awesome.  Original exhaust manifolds come with the car.

 

  

 

What doesn’t work:  gas gauge, temp, oil and tach not working due to the cluster change out.  Proper harness boot was not installed for a tach cluster, but the speedo does work.  A proper harness will eliminate this issue.

 

Bright work:  All original to the car with some signs of ware including the chrome bumpers, but very presentable.

 

Glass:    All original in very good condition with a few scratches.  

 

Wheels/Tires:  BFGs 225/70 14 new with original wheels in very good condition.

Summary:  This car represents a very original car and is real as it came from the factory with the exception of interior color change out.  Makes a great driver to enjoy with out breaking the bank.  The price is reasonable and represents a great value for the money.  I have over 120 pictures of the car so please contact me and provide your email address if you would like additional pictures.  Don’t miss out on this affordable ride.

Disclaimer:  The car is for sale locally.  The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason.  No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition.

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala

Fri, May 23 2014

Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.

What car should James Robertson buy to drive his famous 21-mile commute?

Thu, Feb 5 2015

The Internet has been abuzz this week with the story of Detroit resident James Robertson, the 56-year-old factory worker who has walked some 21 miles to work for the last 10 years. The Detroit Free Press brought Robertson's story to the fore, helping an online fundraising campaign to generate more than $275,000 (as of this writing). The original goal was just $5,000, or about enough to replace the used Honda that died on Robertson back in 2005, and left him walking. So, newly flush with funds, what's the perfect car for Robertson to buy? Let's look at the specifics of his situation, and try to pick out the best options. Here's what we know: Robertson's commute is (famously) 21 miles; he lives in downtown Detroit (for now) and seems pretty humble, so something very flashy is probably out; former Honda aside, his ties to the city (and statements about being a Ford fan) seem to indicate a Detroit Three company product is best; he's a single guy with a girlfriend; he's got to deal with Michigan weather, and the sometimes fickle snow removal processes in The D. Here are some choices: Ford F-150 Robertson is on record as being a Taurus fan, and after a decade of walking I've no doubt that the big sedan would offer a cozy respite. Still, as a car guy and a student of the industry, I'd have a hard time recommending a sedan so clearly in need of replacement. Especially when The Blue Oval has such great stuff within the rest of its roster. The 2015 F-150 seems almost perfect for Robertson. Opting for either of the new EcoBoost V6 engines should help keep fuel bills in reasonable check, while healthy ride height and four-wheel drive will get him to work on time even during the snowiest of snow days. Better still, with a fat options sheet and car-like ride quality, Robertson can have just about every amenity he might want, in a package that won't disrespect his blue-collar roots. Chevrolet Colorado You guys saw this one coming, right? The smaller footprint of the midsize Chevy pickup, relative to some of the other options here, should be an advantage for urban parking and driving. And again, 4x4 is an option for the nasty weather, the running costs should stay pretty low and there aren't many tech/luxury features that can't be had in-cabin. I'd go ahead and splash out on the Crew Cab bodystyle, too, just in case Robertson feels like starting a carpool.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
