 Frame off 1970 SS 454 Chevelle convertible project..I've owned this car for 30 plus years.The car was sold new at Schonlaw Chevrolet in Hollywood California in May of 1970.The trim tag is missing but the car was originally red on the exterior with  pearl white bucket seat interior.
I have restored many car over the years and have just to many projects right now.  I have decided to put this car up for sale at this time. The frame was completely disassembled ,sand blasted and  all parts were repainted in detail.When I bought it I was told it was a LS5 car. The car does not have any papers to prove the LS5 option but does appear to be a real SS car. It has all the correct OEM F41 SS suspension. Original rear sway bar and boxed lower trailing arms. Original SS Big Block front springs and sway bar. Factory disc brakes and F41 lower A Arms.
The engine is a  1970 3963512 block with the correct 3964290  LS5 heads .The engine was running when I bought the car but I removed the top end and was going to rebuild it. The transmission is a M21 and works fine.It does have a nice clean 12 bolt rear end but not original to the car.
The wheels have been blasted and repainted correctly with new caps, rings and lug nuts.Tires are not brand new but but nice.
The  complete floors were replaced with a 1 piece floor including the rockers all the way from the firewall to the back bumper. Both quarters were replaced as well as the inner wheel houses. The front fenders and hood are also brand new..The doors are  OEM rust free originals.
I do have a lot of small parts that go with the car.
Included in the sale is.
All side glass.
Nice 4 core radiator
Complete  512 long block LS5 engine
Bell housing w/clutch and pressure plate
Original SS dash wiring
Complete convertible top frame.(needs top front header bow, sold new)
M21 transmission
Windshield trim and rear pinch trim.
Front bumper is a fresh rechromed OEM bumper.
Back bumper is a older rechromed original but very nice yet.
I'm sure there a few thing I have forgotten to mention that go with .
This car is in the stages that you could  paint it any color or build it anyway you want it.
When I get a car to this point and after the body is painted and set on the frame with the engine  mounted in the frame, it takes me 2 weeks by myself to  have it reassembled and driving down the road.|
My reserve is way less than what I have into the car.
You can email with any questions.

Auction ends Monday evening the 15th



On Sep-10-14 at 18:19:18 PDT, seller added the following information:

Somebody mentioned the car cant be a SS  because it doesn't have the Big Block steering shaft in the picture so I added the picture of the  Big Block Shaft I removed off the car.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024.

It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
