Here is a 1964 Chevelle SS that is Body # 2, serial # 3 which means it was the second Chevelle V8 SS produced and number 3 off the production line. There is no way to know if the # 1 Chevelle SS V8 was number one or number 2 off the production line, all I know is that the first and second 1964 Chevelle SS's were built in the first three cars off the production line in 1963 and there is no known record of the # 1 Chevelle SS that can be found or know if it even exist today.

I bought this car several months ago from a guy who had owned it for the the last fifteen years. He painted the car a different color, put in a new 350 engine and added a M21 4 speed trans with 373 gears. I decided to restore the car back to the original color and condition and install the correct engine and transmission so I stripped the car down to bare metal and found that the rear quaters needed to have new skins on them so I have installed them and am currently doing the rest of the body work and getting it ready to paint, I have spent countless hours on this car so as to do it the correct way. I have decided to see if someone wants this car the way it is so they can have it restored the way they want not the way I want. I'm in no hurry to sell this car but it is for sale, and if I don't get my price then I will finish the car myself, as I have restored several cars over the years and I know what it takes, lots of time and money. 

I have the original bumpers and most all the original trim, but it will need to be restored. I also have some new interior door panels but they are black and not correct, the guy I bought the car from was going to do black interior. The motor pictured here is the correct 283, 220 hp 4 bbl with the correct intake manifold, correct exhaust manifolds and carb. as well as the correct matching powerglide trans.

The car has epoxy DP50LF on it for a sealer and then 1 gal. of Evercoat Feather Fill which has been guide coated and block sanded. There will have to be more Evercoat and block sanding until body is perfect. The Chevelle doesn't show it's best because of the work being done on it right now, sorry about that. This car does drive under it's own power, running gear all new, including brakes.

I will probably only list this car once and if it doesn't sell, it will go off the market until fully restored.


The pics of the car in grey color are before I stripped the car.

I'm sure if your interested in this Rare Chevelle SS you'll have questions and I would be more then happy to answer them. I will not give out my reserve information, but thank you for looking.

Keep in mind that this just might be the oldest Chevelle Super Sport in the World.

I have added the pic of the vin tag in the driver's side door, this matches the title along with the body tag.


On May-02-14 at 15:09:39 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have added pics of the way the car left the factory in the colors, drivetrain, and engine plus trim including the bumpers with the bumper guards. Thses pics were found on Marc Schiliron's Classic Cars. I believe the car deserves to be restored like this for the historical value and because it's the begining of a great car line. I have the bumpers with the guards as seen and 90% of the original trim, hub caps, original seats as seen in my pics, auto console ect. Please note that most of the trim will need to be restored. I think this Chevelle SS should be in a Museum when fully restored.

2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon all spied with production lights

Fri, Mar 22 2019

One of our spy photographers just caught a smattering of full-size GM SUVs out testing, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon. Previous spy photos of the next-generation of these big GM SUVs have revealed that GM is going with an independent rear suspension design, and these shots confirm the news once again with our best look at the hardware yet. Check them out from the rear, lined up like ducks in a row to see the beefy control arms down there. This will undoubtedly give the big SUVs a more compliant ride, and should bring it back into touch with the refinement from the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. The new bits we get to see with these shots are production headlights and taillights that are shaping up to look pretty neat. Most distinguishable are the GMC Yukon's LED DRLs. These look a lot like the C-shaped LEDs outlining the headlights on the Sierra, but they have an extra LED strip on top of the C. The parts of the taillights that we can see look significantly different than that found on the Sierra, showing GM is planning on having a great deal of differentiation there. We can sort of see through the mesh covering the grille to what appears to be a classic horizontal bar style front opening. Chevy is predictably dialing the crazy LED strip design back for the Tahoe and Suburban. The parts that are lit up look a whole lot like the headlight fixtures on the 2019 Silverado. That truck uses a stack of lights with the actual headlights separated from the DRLs. We can see the same thing going on here, with the headlight up top and curved LED DRL strip sitting below. It's tough to say if the designs are exactly alike, but we expect to see an extremely Silverado-esque look once all the camouflage comes off. Chevrolet's taillight design differs from its donor truck like the GMC, showing off a curved, vertical series of LEDs out back. Once production lights start popping up like this, we know the vehicle is moving closer to its end game. A reveal sometime later this year could be in the cards for GM's next batch of full-size SUVs. It certainly needs them quick, as Ford rockets ahead with increased Expedition production announced earlier this week.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
