Very Rare! 1969 Super Sport 396 4 Speed Chevelle Convertible! A Very Solid Car Which Still Retains Its Factory Paint & Super Sport Stripes! Backed By A CE Warranty Replacement Motor And Its Original Numbers Matching Four Speed! Original Tach Car! I Can Assure You That You WILL NOT Find Another One Like It!

     The moment I sat eyes on this Chevelle, my heart started racing. My more rational and practical side kept trying to over ride my emotions but the more I dove in to this Chevelle, the more I got excited about it. I think any car guys can relate to what I am talking about. We hunt and we hunt to find cars like these and most of the time, it seems like we are just chasing ghosts. Fortunately, this is not one of those scenarios.

     This Chevelle has belonged to to a fanatical Chevelle collector for quite some time. Someone who never sells and has kept his metal secrets locked away from the World for decades. Years ago, this Chevelle was driven across Missouri and parked where it has been sitting for quite some time. This Chevelle has not had many hands on it over the years. It still retains its original factory paint with its original factory Super Sport stripes! The entire infrastructure, the bones of this car are unmolested. It still retains all of its original sheet metal (with the exception of the core support and new fenders) most of which is completely solid. Every original bracket is still in tact and untouched. The original floors and trunk to the Chevelle are completely solid and original. This Chevelle still has its original convertible top which has no tears in it! The interior is 100% original and is in excellent shape. The front bucket seats do not have a stain nor tear in them. The tach and instrument panel is completely original and has never been tampered with. There is just so much to break down on this car so I will do my best to give you a detailed description of what this Chevelle entails. If this is your dream car, you're going to thoroughly enjoy this read.

Body: The body on this Chevelle is completely original. We have installed new fenders along with a core support that has been powder coated. We also installed new core support bushings. Starting with the floors, they are completely original and totally solid. There are no pin size holes nor weak spots through out any of the front nor rear floors. The trunk pan is exactly the same. It too has no pin size holes nor weak spots. It is also completely solid. The frame on the Chevelle is also completely solid as are the doors, cowl, cowl corners, firewall, rear sill, deck lid, hood, inner wheel housing, A pillars, and windshield support. What does need replaced are the quarters and outer wheel housing. Which I do have one new quarter as well as one outer wheel housing which I am including with the Chevelle. One thing I would like to mention is how nice the doors open and shut as well as how well the windows roll up and down which you will be able to see within the video located below. As you can see within the photos located below, the Chevelle still retains its original factory paint and SS stripes. The convertible top on this Chevelle is missing its back window but the remaining top is completely sound. It does need cleaned but it does not have any tears or dry spots wearing through. The Chevelle also still retains its original factory disc brakes, big block suspension, and the big block specific steering column. Along the rear tail panel, you will find the factory punch holes for the original SS 396 emblem which unfortunately did not come with the Chevelle.

Interior: The interior of this Chevelle extremely nice. It is like looking at something that has been captured inside of a time capsule. The front bucket seats are exceptionally nice with no rips, tears, nor any other major blemishes. The back seat is also extremely nice but has one small crack in it. The rear door panels and center console are also very nice. The front door panels are decent but they do have a couple of small blemishes. The instrument panel and dash are exceptionally nice. It will need a new dash pad but the rest of the dash is just unbelievably nice. The gauges still look like new. The needles are all in tact and do not look faded nor aged.

Mechanical: The 396 within this Chevelle is a "CE" block which is a warranty replacement setup. It does turn over and is not locked up. From what I was told, the Chevelle did run and drive to where it was parked, years ago. The Muncie four speed is the original numbers matching transmission. The production sequence is stamped in to it and does match the VIN. It does seem functional as it does move in and out of gears. The Chevelle does have a power top and it was functional at the time it was parked. It too does not appear to have ever been tampered with.

     Located below, you will find over 150 photos as well as video of the Chevelle. My goal is to get the Chevelle sold. So if you're interested, please call or email and I will gladly answer any questions or concerns. Please understand that this auction can and probably will come down before the auction ends as I do have it for sale locally. So please, do not be surprised if I have taken it down the next time you refer back to the auction. I know that many people do not approve of that process but I am here to get the Chevelle sold. So with that, I have no problems with sharing my reserve with serious buyers. I do have a clean Missouri title for this Chevelle. Have an excellent day!

Thanks,

Shawn

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]

Mon, Mar 17 2014

Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model

Tue, Sep 16 2014

Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.
