1968 Chevrolet Chevelle

This 1968 Chevy Chevelle is in restorable condition. The small block engine runs but has a bad knock. Clear California title in hand, no back DMV fees, this car is on Planned Non-Operational status. The odometer reading of 51,947 miles is INACCURATE. Please see below for more details:

Body: Serious paint fade and oxidation, but the body is solid. The only concerns are rust holes on each front fender (see pix), behind the wheel wells and someone had installed fiberglass fender flares on the rear fenders and the flares are damaged, one having been completely knocked off. It has an after market sunroof and the windshield has caulking along the upper edge. All glass is good. There is a ding on the leading edge of the front left fender, and some marks on rear bumper area. Also a white spot in the center of the right rear taillight. Rocker panels are rust-free. Floor pans are solid. Trunk is solid. Bumpers in decent but not perfect condition, grill the same.

Engine/Transmission: The small block engine is believed to be a 350, and not the original engine. This is not an SS car and the 396 badge is misleading. The engine does run but has a serious knock and will have to be replaced or rebuilt. The automatic transmission is a Turbo 350, column shift.

Drive Train/Suspension/Chassis: The front end needs bushings and possibly tie rod ends. The chassis is rust free (see pix). The shocks will need replacing. Brakes work well. Wheels are mismatched and the tires are old and not to be trusted.

Interior: OK, this car had some "custom" work done way back in the eighties. The diamond tuck interior is in need of replacement (to say the least), the driver's side of the bench seat is badly shredded. The dash is cracked, the carpet falling apart and the headliner gone, though the rods remain. There are also quite a few accessories wired in and a mess of wiring under the dash by the steering wheel (see pic).

Title/Registration Status: Clear California title, this Chevelle is being offered by owner. The California registration is "Planned Non-Operational" status, which means that it is parked and no fees are owed or occurring. 

Please examine the pix carefully. We welcome any questions you may have regarding this item. Buyer responsible for shipping, seller can assist with arrangements and coordinating with shipper. This car can possibly be delivered by seller for a fee to CA, OR, AZ, NV, WA. Email for details. Appointments to come and see the car can be made by contacting the seller.

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
