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.

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As 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.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
