1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss 396 on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
|
This 1970 Big Block 396 Super Sport Chevelle only has 36,000 ACTUAL miles on it. It had previously spent its last 23 years in storage and only driven around 1,500 miles. It spent the last 9 years sitting in a shed and not being moved or started. As a result it has survived tremendously despite spending its entire life in the Northern Midwest. The undercarriage of this Muscle Car still has the Original General Motors Undercoating it received just before it left the factory (see pictures below, click here for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoJ_fKQHnOg). This is nearly unheard of on a vehicle that is 43 years old and unrestored.
It is an unrestored 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Big Block 396 with 36,000 miles on it....where are you going to find that? This is a true Big Block Super Sport and although there is no way to decode them it has all of the tell tail signs. The rear trailing arms that attach to the 12 bolt are blocked off and strengthened, only found on a SS. The rearend is a 12 bolt, standard on the SS. The dash has the Rally Gauges, only found on a SS. The door panel trim does not go straight across but has the hump design, only found on a SS. It has a functioning Cowl Induction hood. Don't be fooled by all of the Cloned SS's out in the market today. There are signs if you know what to look for. An original 10 10 771 car (White Exterior with Saddle Interior) which is rare along with the additional Tilt Steering that was nearly unheard of in 1970. It was also built with the LS package containing both front and rear sway bars. Unlike most surviving SS's it still has its original 12 bolt rear end and Turbo 400 transmission. Center console with Horse Shoe shifter and AM Radio. This car has the In-Dash Tach and Clock. The Functional Cowl Induction hood that only came in 1970 is not only there but works perfectly.
Bringing this car back to life took very little. The Head Liner needed replaced and the center console was completely trashed. A head liner was installed and the center console was torn down and re-done. The entire car was buffed and cleaned up. The Heater Core was replaced along with all the hoses. The vehicles starter was replaced along with new plugs, wires, points, condensor and rotor. The 4 Barrel carburetor was completely reworked and a new carb kit and float kit were installed. The exhaust gaskets were replaced. New Headlights were installed along with new Hood Pins. The entire vehicle was completely cleaned up from the inside out. All of the interior was torn out of it including seats, headliner, carpet and dash were pulled and cleaned. The rally SS wheels were replaced by a set of new Boss rims, 20 X 10's on the rear and 18 X 8's on the front. Running on 245/40/18's and 275/40/20's these rims and tires give it the perfect look. Still using all of its original suspension without any alterations these wheels and tires fit perfect and allow it to be put back completely to original without any effects. I am selling the vehicle with the BOSS rims however the original Super Sport Rims and tires are availible for this car for an additional $800. I drove this car 175+ miles to the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company Auction in Pierce NE on September 28, 2013 and drove it home. With this auction I am including my bidders badge and number from the Lambrecht Auction as well as an official bill of sale from VanDerBrink Auctions on the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company Auction "A time capsule of automotive History". I was there at the Lambrecht Auction and watched their 1969 SS 396 Chevelle sell (http://blogs.hotrod.com/read-all-about-the-lambrecht-chevrolet-auction-at-hot-rod-83315.html/lambrecht-vanderbrink-chevrolet-1969-chevelle-ss396/#axzz2ilmp0Tv4). Their car had 74,000 miles on it, had a tree fall on it and blow out the windows then it sat outside for nearly 5 years, had rust all over the quarters and the trunk was gone, the motor was stuck and the roof was caved in. I watched this car that was almost beyond repair bring $27,000 (http://www.ktiv.com/story/23539928/2013/09/26/lambrecht-auto-auction-in-pierce-nebraska-is-set-to-begin). The car you are looking at runs and drives with only 36,000 actual miles on it. Compare that to their 69 with 74,000 and you need a fork lift to move it. My wife drove this car and put 300 miles on it during a poker run. There simply is no comparison between the two vehicles. Mine is in WAY better condition, is driveable, and can be enjoyed right now. The 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Big Block is one of the most desired Classic Cars ever built. Check out the valuation tool at Hagerty Insurance http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=1379529 it shows the lowest value for a SS 396 #4 car at $32,000. A #3 car is $40,000 and a #1 is $67,800. This is not a #1 and is also not a #4 car either. This is a great value!

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
