You are bidding on my 1965 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 2-door post coupe. Out of the 378,000+ Chevelles produced in 1965, just over 8,000 were the 300 Deluxe 2-door post coupe model, making it very rare today. The post coupe is favored by drag racers and hot rodders for its light weight and rigid body.

The interior features correct OEM '65 low-back bucket seats and full rear bench. Door panels are good, brand-new carpet, door sill plates, trunk divider, package tray, glove box liner and headliner. While not perfect, the interior does looks very good. The dash features a vintage Sun Super Tach II tachometer front and center for a nice clean look, while accessory oil pressure and water temperature gauges monitor the vitals. The speedometer and engine warning lights work, as do the head lights, tail lights, and brake lights. A new B&M Pistol-Grip Quarter Stick shifter is mounted on the floor to handle the shifting duty. Overall, the interior looks and feels comfortable, clean, and complete just as it is.

The engine is a High Performance 1970 396 Big Block, rebuilt with under 30K miles; still tight and fresh. The engine internals include 10.25-1 compression flat top pistons, mild performance hydraulic camshaft and lifters, high volume oil pump, and a balanced bottom end. The heads have been surfaced, have a 3-angle valve job, dual valve springs, screw-in studs, pushrod guide plates, and poly locks. The top end features a Holly Street Dominator aluminum high rise intake, while a high-volume electric fuel pump delivers the fuel to a new Edelbrock 750 carburetor, sparked by an HEI ignition. The custom driveline was professionally balanced.

New Hooker big-tube headers and full 2 1/2" dual exhaust with X-pipe handle the exhaust. A Champion custom 4-row aluminum high-capacity radiator keeps the engine running at under 190 degrees. Oil pressure is strong and steady. New plugs, wires, battery, alternator, regulator, starter, belts, and hoses. Fresh engine oil and filter, as well as 50/50 antifreeze. The engine is backed up by a '70 Turbo 400 automatic and 10-bolt rear end. The transmission was also just serviced with new fluid, filter, and pan gasket.

The engine/trans combination is in good, strong running condition with a fresh professional performance tune-up.

The entire underside of the car has been cleaned and painted, with almost all the fasteners having been replaced as well... looks great underneath. Front suspension has been redone with new shocks all around, new brakes, and restored '71 Chevelle Rally wheels with new trim rings and inserts mounted with good Daytona radial tires. Manual steering is tight and surprisingly easy to steer; manual brakes work great with solid pedal feel.

The body appears to be virtually rust-free; I can't find evidence of any outer-body rust anywhere. The trunk has been restored to original speckled paint and looks great; no rust there either. It was originally Turquoise Metallic, and is now in gray primer.

The chrome is nice, the stainless is good but not perfect, and the glass is very good. All the windows roll up and down smoothly, doors open and close well, panels align well.

It still needs the outside, dual mirrors, lower body "300" belt moldings, front marker lights, and license plate lights. Inside, passenger side- and rear arm rests, and a paint job.

As you can see, the car is still what I'd call a light project. I believe I've priced the car fairly to leave some room to finish it out and still be right-side up. All the big stuff is done and the car is a great runner/driver as-is.

While every effort is being made to describe the car accurately, please keep in mind it is a 47-year-old classic, and therefore being sold "as-is," without warranty expressed or implied.

Please contact me upon auction completion to make arrangements to pay within 3 days by bank wire transfer, major bank cashier's check, or cash. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, and I will make myself available to your carrier for pickup and loading. Please, no zero-feedback bidders without checking with me prior to bidding.

I am open to a reasonable offer on the car, and you may call me at 360-936-9257 to discuss anything you wish.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
