have copious amounts of money in this car. purchased through some people in my home town that own the local towing/wrecking company. had been in one of his out buildings forever along with a 68 malibu that looked as though it got ass-ended by a log truck. the malibu had buick interior verified by cowl tag and build sheet. this was a strike year and these cars could of had anything gm in them. took the front clip, nice doors, mint buckets, and tilting/telescoping column from that car along with a few other parts. the super sport drive train had gone into one of his race cars years ago. guy I went to high school with in the 70's drove it every day. knew it was the same car by custom paint that had a graphic on the quarters. 

I had a 69 427 and super t10 that was destined for the car, but has since gone into a 69 vette I purchased from a friend. original teal blue/teal blue 396 4 speed ac car with split back front bench. the guy that did all the work has mad skills and converted the firewall to accept a standard heater box. floors and trunk had plenty of pin holes. bottom of quarters and wheel well lips were rusted. after the trunk was cut out some rust was found in the bottom of the tail panel so it was replaced also. everything but the frame was either media blasted or stripped with a large brush on a big grinder. no rattle can anything anywhere on this car. high solid epoxy went on top of bare metal, then body work, then a regular epoxy primer. still have a gallon of $100 sealer primer that comes with car. brought it back just short of paint when I knew it would be sold. my plan was black base/clear. the dash, rear package area and window frame already painted black single stage urethane. engine compartment, interior, trunk shot with a satin black enamel. high grade paintable undercoating that dries like bedliner went on trunk, floors, underside of trunk and drop offs. splatter paint went on top of that in the trunk. the metal work was awesome. the quarter skins were fully welded as was the trunk and floors. zero warping as the guy takes the time to weld cool weld cool. very little filler besides the quarter skin seams. urethane seam sealer on all trunk and floor seams. all door hinges rebuilt, heater box all gone through with new heater core, new dash pad, rear seat all new. the front buckets are still the buick style upholstery, but mint. planned on using them for a few years before buying the chevelle stuff. all the loose pieces were media blasted and put in satin black enamel(bumper brackets, ect.) new front and rear bumpers. new tank and sending unit. new core support and bushings. the front clip was re-assembled with all new hardware. grill re-painted with satin black on top of an adhesion promoter. all the stainless is polished and ready to go back on. roof rail stainless has new foam installed on it. all the factory dark green tinted glass including the perfect factory windshield installed. rear and windshield put in with primer and urethane instead of the cheap tape kits. front and rear window molding clips all new and ready for moldings to be snapped in place. this car was complete when I took it apart. threw out a few things that needed replacing(front turn signals, couple of marker lights, and a couple of aluminum trim pieces come to mind). otherwise everything is there. all the wiring was in good shape and back in place. car had a factory roller tach cluster that was pretty nasty and expensive to restore, so I sold it to help build the mountain of cash that went into this thing. used the speedo/clock cluster from the malibu which was in nice shape.
major stuff to complete the car would be: headliner, door panels, carpet, motor/transmission( I have two 4 speed drivelines), exhaust, radiator. If you can swing a gun and turn a wrench, watch your nickels and dimes you could finish this thing for a lot less than buying a done one. they took a bunch of resto pics for me with a cheap digital camera I left there you can find at:  http://1968chevellesupersport.shutterfly.com/ 
have a contact at an oregon transport company that is really reasonable and will help get the car loaded for whoever comes for it. If you have any doubts about what you may be buying here please come look at it up close. everything was done right by a professional who cares about their work. this is a fixed price/make offer listing so everyone interested knows it is an honest sale and not some guy running it up with his buddies fake bids.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers

Fri, Jan 1 2016

Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
