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

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.
