 This is a very nice 1968 chevelle, My dream was always to buy a 68/69 chevelle and restore it. I started looking and realized i could buy one that was already restored and make it what i wanted for 1/2 the price. well, about 6 months ago i did just that. I bought a 1968 chevelle locally that was a complete original restoration for 15,500.00
I started by buying some custom made wheels ( rear are custom made for the huge offset)  18x8.5 on front and 20x10.5 on back. I didn't want to big as i was going for that pro touring look. They have less than 200 miles on them and they were 2800.00 with tires. It had the stock rebuilt numbers matching 327 that was OK but i wanted more. I enlisted a local shop that build drag car motors to take the motor and build it. They suggested a 385 stoker and that's what i went with.
partial rundown on motor ( every moving part, nut and bolt is brand new) It runs like a raped ape but is very very smooth and gets 20mpg going 65-70 ( 2000-2200 RPM) Shes sporting a Bcool dual fan setup that works off a temp switch also.. very cool keeps it nice and cool wile in traffic
10-5-1 compression ( runs good on 93)
speed pro pistons
scat forged crank
scat forged rods
Pete Jackson gear drive
550/550 lift cam ( choppy but good brakes, streetabilty)
custom aluminum heads 202-160 valves
comp rollers
4150 holley double pumper  ( mechanical )
hooker headers
performer intake
1608 stat
HEI dist
and so on, I spent 3000.00 having motor built ( 1500 miles )

After i had it put in it was obvious the 350 turbo trans wanted NOTHING to do with this motor..
I had a local trans shop build a 4l60E trans with lockup in overdrive with a slightly over stock tci converter ( raptor 700 ) as i wanted to travel with this car with the wife on the power block tour.

The interior was completely redone to original, id say its flawless but pics show its a little dirty but i will clean it up really nice if it sells. body is near flawless with minor rick chips as this is a 10 year old restoration i was told. The paint looks flawless from 10 feet away but close inspection it shows some light sand scratches under hard inspection. Most of the time can only see them under gas station lights at night for some reason.

The car was a frame off restoration, frame is spotless, every bushing and bearing was replaced. all stainless steal brake lines. under body is original and shows original undercoating.

NOT SO GOOD ABOUT HER, when i put the front timing cover on i must have messed up the gasket a bit because it has a ever so slight seep of oil coming out of it,
paint has some BB size rock chips, small paint bubbles ( not rust ) some of the 45 year old chrome is showing age ( door handles comes to mind)   a/c isn't hooked up nor do i have a compressor, heat isn't very good because of the low temp tstat,  i have yet to put new corrected speed o gears  in ( will make speedo accurate )
i need to clean up a few wires the hook. Im going to try to fix the leak, speedo and wiring...
That's about it really
it has a
Over all this car is a sexy stunning car, better for the driver not the show queen. she has her flaws but shes 45 years old but will still hold her own on the steet with any modern muscle car.  Please look over pics very carefully. You more then welcome to inspect car anytime before bidding..

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
