First off, is it a real SS? Who knows, I don't have paper work on this car from the factory and there is no other way to tell that I know of. The engine is a 73 so that's not original for sure plus I know where the engine came from. When I got the car it had the SS fender emblems but since it had a 454 engine, and someone I know had the 454 emblems new, so I used them. It does have a lot of SS items on it such as the dash. Same on the mileage, it shows 53,500 but who know. Now for what I do know, this is a very good driver quality car in looks and performance ready for everyday use. Very little signs of rust, I had the lower section of both front fenders repaired and painted. On the lip of the trunk there has been some repair also. The rear quarters appear to be original and still have the vin number stamped in them. There is some spots on the hood like something was splattered on it, it dont show up on the stripes but on the body color, they might be wet sanded out, not sure, I should have had them touched up when I had the fenders done but didn't really think it looks that bad especially with a good coat of wax. I took a picture of hood area and there is not much wax on the car now so they should show up. There is also some other scratches that need to be touched up but normal stuff from driving and using. All in all a very presentable driver quality car. As for the interior I am sure most of it has been replaced, console has not been and has some scratches, no radio in the dash, ac control is in the dash but looks bad. Speedometer and gas gage works but has aftermarket gages for oil and water. Worse place on the interior is the edge of the rear side panel is wore off like someone got in and out of the back seat a lot or possible rubbed by driver. Has all the front belts and some of the back. Very good driver quality interior. As for the mechanical there is no know big issues, most of the ac equiptment is gone and one of the previous owners said they were getting ready to put a aftermarket system in it. That's probably the best way to go if you want ac. The engine is a 73 model 454 with 781 heads. It had a stock rebuild with maybe a torque cam. Its .020 over and has flat top stock pistons and internals with a .010/.010 crank. I added a high volume oil pump, reworked valve springs, and Howards cam with .525 lift. Engine was to mild for a muscle car. It sound great now with a good thump, works with 2000 street rod converter and is very drivable. Other engine improvments are a aluminum intake and good working 750 vac sec Holley carb. Most of the engine accessories are new, water pump, alternator, fuel pump, radiator, dist, plugs, wires, etc. Oil just changed and is ready to go. I don't know much about the turbo 400 but it has been modified some and works good, does not have the kick down hooked up so its better to manually shift it but you don't have to. Same on rear end, its a 12 bolt posi with 373 gears is what I was told and that appears to be correct, if anything a little higher like 3.55. Its good for cruising the highway. Has headers with dual flowmasters ending at rear axle, should have tail pipes but I like it. I have to many cars so I priced it reasonable for a cash sell but I might do some trading. Tri 5 Chevy straight axle gasser or other gassers would be on top of the list. I would listen to anything on a part trade. I just bought a 55 chevy to build a street car from but if the right think came along I could sell it. I check my emails often so anything you want to know I will be glad to answer by email or I will call you if you prefer. I can deliver with in a couple hundred miles of north central Arkansas and can arrange delivery elsewhere if you need it. I prefer you come and look at the car and go for a cruise if you are interested. The car will probably be advertised other places also. Thanks a lot for looking, Jerry

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem
Thu, Feb 11 2016The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog. Related Video: Transport Canada Recall # 2016053 Recall Date 2016/02/04 Notification Type Safety Mfr System Brakes Manufacturer Recall Number 20760 Units Affected The number of vehicles or components affected by the recall. 46,837 Category Light Truck & Van, SUV Recall Details On certain Heavy Duty and Police Pursuit vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may become loose, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative. If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
