This listing may initially appear to be the strangest way to list a car here on eBay that you have ever seen. Please read this entire description through very carefully so that you completely understand what I am attempting to do here. This listing is for a very special, exceptionally straight and damage free and reasonably solid 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 two door hardtop. The VIN number is shown in one of these photos. The first three digits of it are 138 which indicates that this car was indeed an SS or Super Sport car from the factory. I have been told that the more common 1967 Chevelle Malibu vehicles had a VIN number that started with 136 rather than 138. I believe this car came originally with a 4-speed manual transmission, bench seat, power steering and perhaps a few other factory installed options. This car is presently located at the home ranch which is 225 miles north of where I normally live and was when I started this listing. The initial photos show that the radiator, engine, clutch, transmission, rear axle, wheels, hood, windshield wipers, trunk lid, radio and several other parts are missing from this car. The original blue front bench seat is still in place. The original blue front seat upholstery is intact but is in poor condition. Both of the rear seat springs are included but were stored in the open in the trunk and have no upholstery material remaining on them. The original blue three spoke steering wheel is included and is shown in place on the steering column. Friday, January 25, I purchased some parts from a 1967 Chevelle from a wrecking yard near where I live. Those parts included a standard duty 10 bolt rear axle assembly, a standard Chevelle hood, both hood hinges with springs, a fair grille and 4 headlamps with the buckets. I have four yellow 14" wheels with fair tires and dog dish Chevrolet hubcaps that will fit this car and are included with it. On Saturday afternoon, January 26, I plan to take these parts to the home ranch east of Great Falls. I will then install the rear axle assembly and the four wheels on this car, load it on my trailer and haul it back to Bozeman where I live. I will then install the grille and hood and clean out the trunk and interior. I will then be able to take better photos that show the true condition of the front, rear and trunk floors as well as the other body panels. I will then upgrade the photos of this listing to the latest photos and lower the starting price to $1,995 so that the auction can begin. I have made this listing this way so that I can get exposure for this listing in the next few days and still be able to upgrade the photos with better photos. As soon as someone bids on an item here on eBay, the seller can no longer change or upgrade the photos on that listing. Please do not bid on this listing until I lower the starting price in a few days. I appreciate your patience while I retrieve this car from the home ranch and get my work done on this very collectible old Chevelle. This is not the only or the finest 1967 big block 1967 Chevelle Super Sport out there but it sure has a lot of potential. Not everyone can afford or even justify a nice one that costs $40,000 or more. Here is your chance to build a car the way you want it. I have reasonably secure outdoor storage in Bozeman and can store this car for a several months or more for free for the winning bidder while we arrange transportation if need be. Perhaps you are interested in making a trip to beautiful Montana this spring or summer and can pick this car up on your trip. I am happy to work with collectors from outside the USA and can arrange for shipment to an exporter on either the east coast or the west coast here in the USA. I will be applying for a Montana title on Monday and it usually takes about 3 weeks to get a clear and non-salvage Montana title for a car like this that has been neglected for many years. My cell phone is 406-799-1847 but I will be out of cell service for the later half Saturday, all of Sunday and part of Monday morning. The number for the land line at the home ranch for Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Monday morning is 406-737-4496. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn in Bozeman Montana Saturday January 25 at 10 PM : I now have the rear axle under this car and the rear wheels in place too as you can see in the first photo. The right front wheel is only setting in position in the first photo. I will be re-installing the coil springs in the front suspension Sunday so I can get the front wheels installed and upgrade more of these photos. Sunday January 26 at 11 PM : I worked all day on this car and was able to piece the front suspension together well enough to make it possible to move the car around and actually steer it with the steering wheel that is now mounted on the steering column. Both front coil springs were missing so I cut two 10-1/2" long pieces of 4" exhaust tubing and substituted them for the missing coil springs. The driver's side went together fine but the ball joint on the passenger's side had the ball pulled out of the socket. I put the ball back in the socket and tied the joint together with heavy wire. As I was later cleaning out the trunk, I found a good usable ball joint that someone removed from another car at some time. That used ball joint is included with this car. I found what appears to be a very good usable power steering gear in the trunk so I bolted it in place and hooked up the steering linkage to the pitman arm. I installed the original blue three spoke steering wheel that came with the car. A power steering pump was also in the trunk but I have no engine to install it on so it is included with this project car. Now this car rolls on it's four wheels and steers well enough to make moving it around much easier and safer. Later today, two friends and I installed the hood hinges and the regular Chevelle hood that I bought a couple of days ago. I must have been tired or half asleep when I bought that hood because it has several tiny rust holes at the top of the very front surface. The car that this hood came from was quite rusty so I should have been more careful when buying a sheet metal part like a hood. This evening I spent quite a bit of time installing the four headlamp bucket assemblies. About a third of the original very fragile plastic adjusting screw receptacles that the headlamp adjusting screws screw into were not broken so I used one on each of the headlamps. Whoever gets this project will have to buy 8 new plastic adjusting screw receptacles as well as 4 new small coil springs that hook into the headlamp buckets. A pair of good headlamp bezels were in the trunk so I tied them into place because the plastic receptacles that the two retaining screws screw into were missing. I also installed the fair original grille that I bought a couple of days ago. I found all four of the front bumper brackets so I installed the marginal front bumper using the pair of inner brackets only at this time. I cleaned out the trunk and took a couple of photos of the rusty trunk floor and added them to this listing. Trunk floors in cars like this do not normally rust out very much here in relatively dry Montana. This car probably sat with no trunk lid on it for sometime between 10 and 30 years so that is why the trunk floor has some holes in it. Tomorrow I hope to tackle cleaning up the interior so I can get some better photos of it and upgrade the photos already on this listing. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn Monday January 27 at 11 PM : I am sorry for no progress on this car today. I spent all day dealing with my elderly Aunt and her medical and estate problems. Tomorrow should be a better day for more progress on this car. Tuesday January 28 at 2 AM : Today was better than Monday. I removed the front seat, carpets and all material from the front and rear floors so that I could examine the floors carefully for rust and get photos of them for you to view. I was hoping to find at least remnants of the build sheet under the front seat but found none. The rear seat cushions had been outside for many years so the upholstery was almost all gone from them. I did find remnants of rear seat upholstery in the trunk and found the two chrome plated die-cast ornaments that go on the backrest of the rear seat so they are included in the pile of loose parts. As you can see from the four photos, the floors inside the car are in excellent condition except for two tiny rust holes. One is about 1/8" in diameter and is located under the left rear quarter window. The other is about the same size and is located on the left front area approximately under the left edge of the glove box door. Both of these holes are hard to see unless one looks very closely. I suspect that each hole has about 2 or 3 inches of weak metal around it that should be cut out and replaced. I weigh 210 pounds so I walked around inside the car and found no weak areas in the floor anywhere. I washed the dash, seat and all interior panels and installed the front seat assembly so that I could take photos of the interior. We have a winter storm on the way so I loaded the car on my trailer and hauled it back to Bozeman where I live most of the time. Thanks for your continued patience while I work more on this listing. Bob Woodburn Wednesday January 29 at 5 PM : The storm has not arrived yet so I took the best exterior photos I have of this car here in Bozeman this afternoon. I think I am done with updating photos so I am going to work a bit on this description before I lower the bid price to $1,995 and let the bidding begin.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
