Chevy Chevelle

454 Big Block

 

VIN: 136379K372861

 

I’m often asked where we find these unique cars.  One of my best employees cruises parking lots of retirement homes, Elks clubs, the V.F.W halls and the back alleys of a well-known Scandinavian neighborhood here in Seattle. He can spot a seatbelt slammed in a car door a mile away… He even notices when a vehicle is driving down the road with a turn signal on too long and he positively twitches with glee when he passes a rig with metal bumpers, especially when it’s a muscle car!  With that said, here’s a little history/report on this VERY sharp Chevelle SS Clone:

If you’re in the market for a great driving, well-kept, vintage street/strip driver please give this Chevy your kind attention.  You’re also welcome to contact me with questions or to discuss a sale before the end of the Ebay listing.  My name is Mark Thompson and I can be reached at 206/914-1173


CONDITION:

The photos really tell the Chevelle’s story.  It has always been a western Washington car and in the spring of 2008 came to the shop of a local builder/restorer here in the snow-free Puget Sound Area.  For the past six years it’s been his project build & occasional weekend driver.  I take great pride in the vehicles we sell and feel that you should know as much about them as possible.  Accordingly, here is a list of the good and also one or two final tasks for completion:

 

The first question I’m always asked is about rust.  Well, this classic cruiser HATES rust and you’ll be very hard pressed to find anything here to worry about.  Yes, the Puget Sound region gets its share of drizzle, but rarely any snow so our winter roads are not salted.  One snowflake and everyone stays home.  Besides, this vehicle has not even seen a winter road in more than six years!  Climb over, under and throughout; I know you’ll come up smiling! 

 

One turn of the key and the strong 454 cubic-inch V8 fires right up with just a few pumps of the gas pedal when cold.  While it’s not original to the car, Chevrolet never built factory motors like this!  The engine was balanced & blueprinted as the build progressed with the addition of a forged steel crank, high-dome pistons and solid lifters.  The high-rise Edelbrock aluminum intake is fed by a Demon 750 CFM carb.  Custom Hedman Headers keep back pressure to a minimum while boosting output by at least 20+ HP.  Fuel delivery is well-fed by a high capacity electric pump with under-hood sight glass and fuel gauge.  The intake is also fully plumbed for NOS.  The system gauges are discreetly mounted below the dash with the NOS tank in the trunk.  Just hookup the main line & gauges for completion – the instruction are included.  An ACCEL HEI ignition fires the plugs and everything’s kept cool by two electric fans pulling through a newer aluminum radiator.  The Turbo 400 automatic transmission (with stall convertor and B&M floor shifter) operates just like it should with NO slippage.  Power steering and front disk brakes are here, too.

 

The restorer completely stripped the body to bare metal before redoing the GM Black Cherry metallic paint.  The windshield, vinyl roof and trim were replaced.  Underneath, the twelve bolt positraction rear pumpkin has 356 gears (great for off the line, yet very drivable in street use).  The suspension has new drag links, bushings and bearings.  All brakes were redone.   

      
Take another look at my interior shots.  The carpet, door panels, seat vinyl (both front buckets and rear bench) are new.  As pictured, there are NO cracks in the dash cover.  The original headliner has a few loose seams but both sun visors are fine.  I’m quite impressed with the dash gauges.  The restorer installed a new vacuum-formed custom dash panel with a full back-lit gauge package – BETTER than stock.  The odometer was set to zero and has accumulated less than four thousand miles since completion.  He also deleted the heater system including the heater core outside the firewall.  Because everyone has different tastes in sound systems, there is no stereo or speakers mounted right now.

     
I really like the look of the Crager S/S style deep-dish chrome five spoke wheels!  They’re wrapped with 275/40R18 BF Goodrich G-Force radials each having at least 80% rubber.  This road rocket Chevelle really is a blast to drive and absolutely turns heads everywhere you go!  Light ‘em up and they’ll hear you coming a block away – There’s nothing like the sound of a Chevy Big Block at 5 or 6K through short-muffled headers!

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  You’re welcome and encouraged to stop by to inspect, drive and make an offer.  Please BID WITH CONFIDENCE and know that you are purchasing a nice vehicle from a respected Ebay Seller.  My main goal is be sure you’re happy with your purchase - and your dealings with me – with the hope that you might be back again for another collector car.

 

Because of the amount of money involved in buying a vehicle, we require that new Ebay members with a feedback history of five or fewer transactions call or email before placing a bid.  If I don’t have this initial contact, your bid may be cancelled.   As I’ve outlined above, the phone number to talk directly to me is 206/914-1173.  Please feel free to call any time during the auction.  My name is MARK THOMPSON.  You’re welcome and encouraged to inspect & drive the Chevelle.  You might also consider making an offer as many of my vehicles sell to smart “early birds” that call and work out a deal prior to the auction’s end.  I always reserve the right to sell during this period.

 

A Few Additional Terms and Conditions:

 

A nonrefundable $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of the auction’s conclusion.  The balance is due by cash or certified funds within seven business days unless prior arrangements have been made with me.  I can accept PAYPAL, but if you plan to pay any more than the deposit through them I’ll first need to invoice you and ask that you cover the 3.5% fee PayPal charges.  Please remember you are bidding to buy and I fully expect the winning bidder to fulfill their Ebay contract!  You’re not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later -- You’re more than welcome to do this before the auction ends.

If you decide to have the car transported home, there are scores of companies to choose from.  I ship vehicles regularly and suggest that you get a transport bid from Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS).  They're EBay’s preferred transporter and will give you a fair quote.  Call my designated rep, Janice, directly at (469)587-5096.  Give her my affiliate number (2362642) and she can pull up all our information for station-to-station or even door-to-door quotes. 

As an alternative, you might also get bids from the U-Ship.com website.  You’ll be able to choose a transport broker from multiple offers.  The zip code for pick-up would be 98002 (Auburn, Washington).  The shipping of the vehicle and company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER 

The car can be stored free of charge at my location for up to two weeks after the auction ends assuming full payment has been received.  After that period storage is $20 per day.

2020 Chevy Trax spied sporting design cues from the new Blazer

Wed, Oct 3 2018

We saw spy shots in August for what we thought was either a redesigned Chevrolet Trax or new GMC subcompact crossover. At the time we were leaning Chevy. But after this latest batch of spy shots taken near GM's proving grounds, we're now thinking this one is the Trax replacement and the other one was a GMC. For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the 2019 Chevy Blazer's LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the Blazer as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today's Trax with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer. Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn't have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the GMC Terrain, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don't exactly look production-ready anyway. If we're right about this being the next Trax (and we're pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it's shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.

2016 Chevrolet Equinox gets styling tweaks, not much else

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The current Chevy Equinox debuted over five years ago, in late 2009. Since then, the midsize crossover segment has become increasingly important, with brand-new entries meeting substantially overhauled versions of existing nameplates. But the Equinox carried on, largely unchanged. And while Chevy is using its Chicago Auto Show stage to debut the freshened, 2016 Equinox, it appears there isn't a whole lot to talk about. Take a look at the updated Equinox's exterior and you're pretty much going to see all that's new for 2016. Sure, the Chevy still boasts a handsome, inoffensive design, and it's now upgraded with things like LED running lamps on top-level trims, as well as new 17- and 18-inch wheel designs, projector beam headlamps, and revised taillamp styling. Moving inside, Chevy has added a standard seven-inch color touchscreen to all models, which includes a backup camera. New-to-Equinox safety features like side cross traffic alert and side blind zone alert are also available for 2016. And really, that's about it. Powertrain options carry over from last year. On the base end, there's a 2.4-liter inline-four that's good for up to 32 miles per gallon on the highway (with front-wheel drive). Buyers can also opt for a 301-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 that allows the Equinox to tow up to 3,500 pounds. Will this be enough to keep the Equinox fresh in its highly competitive class? In 2014, the Equinox did outsell lower-volume competitors like the Mazda CX-5 and Subaru Forester, but was bested by fresher offerings like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4. Have a look at all there is to know about the 2016 Equinox in the press blast below. We'll have live images and more impressions direct from the Chicago show floor, soon. Fresh Face: Chevrolet Introduces Restyled 2016 Equinox Premium cues, new safety features enhance Chevy's record-selling compact SUV CHICAGO – Chevrolet today introduced the 2016 Equinox – a contemporized version of the popular compact SUV. Updates include new styling with premium accents, new wheel designs and new available safety features, as well as a larger color touchscreen radio and a standard rear-vision camera for entry-level models.

2016 Chevy Volt arrives with 50-mile EV range, 41 mpg [w/ video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Let's start with the numbers. The 2016 Chevy Volt will have an all-electric range of 50 miles from a new, 18.4-kWh lithium battery. It will get 41 miles per gallon (combined) once the battery runs dry and have 102 MPGe. Oh, and it has five seats, sort of. To compare, today's four-seat 2015 Volt has a 38-mile range from a 17.1-kWh battery in a powertrain that offers 37 mpg and 98 MPGe. So, across the board, there are notable improvements. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk story. General Motors will unveil the new Volt at the Detroit Auto Show later today, but it's been talking about how this new version – the first major plug-in hybrid vehicle to get a serious redo in the modern era – was crafted with reams and reams of data from first-gen Volt customers. At a preview event for journalists last week, GM executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told Autoblog that these owners "gave us the recipe" to make the second-gen model. At the top of the request list was more range (check), more "fun-to-drive" behavior (check?) and a smoother and quieter experience (we'll assume a check here, given that the new 1.5-liter four-cylinder – the first North American application of this new engine family – should offer more power with less noise than the previous 1.4-liter, four-cylinder powerplant). Other customer-driven changes in the new Volt include a different place to store the charging cable (in the side of the trunk instead of under the load floor) and a new brake system with improved blended regenerative braking feel as well as driver-selectable regen levels. The requested 50-mile range comes from a new, lighter battery that has increased capacity from fewer cells (192 vs. 288) and a simplified control architecture. Along with the new battery, the electric drive unit is a two-motor deal that is up to 12 percent more efficient and 100 pounds lighter, while also being "tremendously smaller," notes Fletcher. It offers 294 pound-feet of torque and a maximum 149 horsepower of "motoring power" delivered to the wheels. GM says it has worked hard to reduced the amount of rare earth materials in these motors, and one of them doesn't use any at all. The new powertrain offers improved acceleration times, as well. The 2016 Volt can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, a seven-percent improvement, while the 0-30 mph time has been improved by 19 percent, down to 2.6 seconds. The new Volt is more conventional looking, but certainly not completely ordinary.
