In 1967 Ruth Sampson ordered her baby through her nephew Larry Cox from Reedman Motors, in Langhorne, Pa. Ruth ordered a 1967 Chevelle 300 Deluxe, Radio Delete, 283 3 Speed on the column, AC. Blue, Blue interior. Ruth was a school teacher who drove a international scout, and decided she would treat herself to a nice little car with some pep and ac, and only drive her in nice weather, and it shows. The car today maintains its original body panels, original interior, 3 original of its 4 T-3 headlights, original headliner, and glass, its original bumpers, lenses, chrome trim, emblems. The car is a impeccable time piece as an original survivor......Now with that being said and Ruth Sampson a single mother and a only son now at the age of 24 at the time, this beautiful car takes a little wild turn......yup we all did it. The good and the bad of the car will vary for all of us; Phillip Sampson at 24 years of age aquired moms car and with help of his uncle and drag racing on his mind find a race shop in Berwyn, PA. to do a conversion on the car that entailed a 12 bolt rear end, Muncie 4-Speed, and a L-88, all purchased at English Town New Jersey. This journey led them to Jenkins Competion in Berwyn PA. The parts were installed with additional items that were needed to complete Phillips car. The only suspension work that was done were a pair of traction bars and away he went. The monster was built, Phillip got his wish and the car was not pleasant to drive on the street. So with a lot of hours and money spent, the car was now not streetable due to its open exhaust and gearing, so off too street racing and the track they went. The car had its fun making some money, and losing some on the streets of Philly, NJ, NYC. The car did well at the tri-state tracks, and in 1979 went into the warehouse on blocks where it sat till 1995. In 1995 the car was registered for one year and off the road it went again. Ruth Sampson had passed in 1998, and Phillip passed in 2011. Through an estate and one year of paperwork I acquired the car. Lets get something straight before I continue, this is not a car that Mr. Bill Jenkins ever owned, raced, built for himself and then sold to Bill Clinton in Arkansas. Its a shop that performed worked as they did and were paid for there services. Today the car still sits in its original everything, as stated above. Below is a list of items that I installed since receiving the car. I have the original Protecto-plate, Warranty Book, Jenkin Competition material. I have the original L-88 that came in the car and is complete, minus the Ansen valve covers that are on new motor. New 519 CU Big Block, Roller Comp Cam with Merlin aluminum heads, Dominator, Headers, Ansen Valve Covers. 756HP on the stand. The transmission was rebuilt and shifts great and a Scatter shield installed. The 12 bolt was rebuilt with new gears 3:83, and positraction center unit. The motor is cabled down to the mounts as it was when received. New radiator large single core, switched dual spawn fans, 160 thermostat. MSD Ignition, Coil 1/2" Custom aluminum fuel line, insulated. New Fuel Tank and sending unit, gauge works at dashboard Electric Fuel Pump and filter put in same location as original. New wiring, pump on ingnition with toggle switch as original. New Tach was installed as the Stewart Warner that it came with did not work. Front Disc Brakes were replaced, along with the master cylinder, lines etc. I replaced the old cool can with a new Moroso Can. I installed the Hotchkis suspension kit and sway bar. New shocks and springs. Front rally wheels with 1967 disc brake caps, wrapped with Firestone wide-oval 70-15. I have original Cragers for front. Rear Mickey Thompson Drag radials on 15 x 8 steel wheel. The lettering on the car I purchased in PA at a swap meet, they are vinyl. The car is a blast too drive and is scary fast, it is set up as they did back in the day and draws more attention at shows. The workmanship and detail is what makes this car something special and quite different. If you look at the hood it is raised on its hinges too allow heat to disperse like a cowl hood. The car runs at 195 and no heating issues, and will run on 93 octane, it wakes up with 104. It is truly a great piece for any collection or somebody who just raced back in the day who wants something special and original to its time. Thanks for looking. |

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.
