This listing may initially appear to be the strangest way to list a car here on eBay that you have ever seen. Please read this entire description through very carefully so that you completely understand what I am attempting to do here. This listing is for a very special, exceptionally straight and damage free and reasonably solid 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 two door hardtop. The VIN number is shown in one of these photos. The first three digits of it are 138 which indicates that this car was indeed an SS or Super Sport car from the factory. I have been told that the more common 1967 Chevelle Malibu vehicles had a VIN number that started with 136 rather than 138. I believe this car came originally with a 4-speed manual transmission, bench seat, power steering and perhaps a few other factory installed options. This car is presently located at the home ranch which is 225 miles north of where I normally live and was when I started this listing. The initial photos show that the radiator, engine, clutch, transmission, rear axle, wheels, hood, windshield wipers, trunk lid, radio and several other parts are missing from this car. The original blue front bench seat is still in place. The original blue front seat upholstery is intact but is in poor condition. Both of the rear seat springs are included but were stored in the open in the trunk and have no upholstery material remaining on them. The original blue three spoke steering wheel is included and is shown in place on the steering column. Friday, January 25, I purchased some parts from a 1967 Chevelle from a wrecking yard near where I live. Those parts included a standard duty 10 bolt rear axle assembly, a standard Chevelle hood, both hood hinges with springs, a fair grille and 4 headlamps with the buckets. I have four yellow 14" wheels with fair tires and dog dish Chevrolet hubcaps that will fit this car and are included with it. On Saturday afternoon, January 26, I plan to take these parts to the home ranch east of Great Falls. I will then install the rear axle assembly and the four wheels on this car, load it on my trailer and haul it back to Bozeman where I live. I will then install the grille and hood and clean out the trunk and interior. I will then be able to take better photos that show the true condition of the front, rear and trunk floors as well as the other body panels. I will then upgrade the photos of this listing to the latest photos and lower the starting price to $1,995 so that the auction can begin. I have made this listing this way so that I can get exposure for this listing in the next few days and still be able to upgrade the photos with better photos. As soon as someone bids on an item here on eBay, the seller can no longer change or upgrade the photos on that listing. Please do not bid on this listing until I lower the starting price in a few days. I appreciate your patience while I retrieve this car from the home ranch and get my work done on this very collectible old Chevelle. This is not the only or the finest 1967 big block 1967 Chevelle Super Sport out there but it sure has a lot of potential. Not everyone can afford or even justify a nice one that costs $40,000 or more. Here is your chance to build a car the way you want it. I have reasonably secure outdoor storage in Bozeman and can store this car for a several months or more for free for the winning bidder while we arrange transportation if need be. Perhaps you are interested in making a trip to beautiful Montana this spring or summer and can pick this car up on your trip. I am happy to work with collectors from outside the USA and can arrange for shipment to an exporter on either the east coast or the west coast here in the USA. I will be applying for a Montana title on Monday and it usually takes about 3 weeks to get a clear and non-salvage Montana title for a car like this that has been neglected for many years. My cell phone is 406-799-1847 but I will be out of cell service for the later half Saturday, all of Sunday and part of Monday morning. The number for the land line at the home ranch for Saturday afternoon, Sunday and Monday morning is 406-737-4496. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn in Bozeman Montana Saturday January 25 at 10 PM : I now have the rear axle under this car and the rear wheels in place too as you can see in the first photo. The right front wheel is only setting in position in the first photo. I will be re-installing the coil springs in the front suspension Sunday so I can get the front wheels installed and upgrade more of these photos. Sunday January 26 at 11 PM : I worked all day on this car and was able to piece the front suspension together well enough to make it possible to move the car around and actually steer it with the steering wheel that is now mounted on the steering column. Both front coil springs were missing so I cut two 10-1/2" long pieces of 4" exhaust tubing and substituted them for the missing coil springs. The driver's side went together fine but the ball joint on the passenger's side had the ball pulled out of the socket. I put the ball back in the socket and tied the joint together with heavy wire. As I was later cleaning out the trunk, I found a good usable ball joint that someone removed from another car at some time. That used ball joint is included with this car. I found what appears to be a very good usable power steering gear in the trunk so I bolted it in place and hooked up the steering linkage to the pitman arm. I installed the original blue three spoke steering wheel that came with the car. A power steering pump was also in the trunk but I have no engine to install it on so it is included with this project car. Now this car rolls on it's four wheels and steers well enough to make moving it around much easier and safer. Later today, two friends and I installed the hood hinges and the regular Chevelle hood that I bought a couple of days ago. I must have been tired or half asleep when I bought that hood because it has several tiny rust holes at the top of the very front surface. The car that this hood came from was quite rusty so I should have been more careful when buying a sheet metal part like a hood. This evening I spent quite a bit of time installing the four headlamp bucket assemblies. About a third of the original very fragile plastic adjusting screw receptacles that the headlamp adjusting screws screw into were not broken so I used one on each of the headlamps. Whoever gets this project will have to buy 8 new plastic adjusting screw receptacles as well as 4 new small coil springs that hook into the headlamp buckets. A pair of good headlamp bezels were in the trunk so I tied them into place because the plastic receptacles that the two retaining screws screw into were missing. I also installed the fair original grille that I bought a couple of days ago. I found all four of the front bumper brackets so I installed the marginal front bumper using the pair of inner brackets only at this time. I cleaned out the trunk and took a couple of photos of the rusty trunk floor and added them to this listing. Trunk floors in cars like this do not normally rust out very much here in relatively dry Montana. This car probably sat with no trunk lid on it for sometime between 10 and 30 years so that is why the trunk floor has some holes in it. Tomorrow I hope to tackle cleaning up the interior so I can get some better photos of it and upgrade the photos already on this listing. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn Monday January 27 at 11 PM : I am sorry for no progress on this car today. I spent all day dealing with my elderly Aunt and her medical and estate problems. Tomorrow should be a better day for more progress on this car. Tuesday January 28 at 2 AM : Today was better than Monday. I removed the front seat, carpets and all material from the front and rear floors so that I could examine the floors carefully for rust and get photos of them for you to view. I was hoping to find at least remnants of the build sheet under the front seat but found none. The rear seat cushions had been outside for many years so the upholstery was almost all gone from them. I did find remnants of rear seat upholstery in the trunk and found the two chrome plated die-cast ornaments that go on the backrest of the rear seat so they are included in the pile of loose parts. As you can see from the four photos, the floors inside the car are in excellent condition except for two tiny rust holes. One is about 1/8" in diameter and is located under the left rear quarter window. The other is about the same size and is located on the left front area approximately under the left edge of the glove box door. Both of these holes are hard to see unless one looks very closely. I suspect that each hole has about 2 or 3 inches of weak metal around it that should be cut out and replaced. I weigh 210 pounds so I walked around inside the car and found no weak areas in the floor anywhere. I washed the dash, seat and all interior panels and installed the front seat assembly so that I could take photos of the interior. We have a winter storm on the way so I loaded the car on my trailer and hauled it back to Bozeman where I live most of the time. Thanks for your continued patience while I work more on this listing. Bob Woodburn Wednesday January 29 at 5 PM : The storm has not arrived yet so I took the best exterior photos I have of this car here in Bozeman this afternoon. I think I am done with updating photos so I am going to work a bit on this description before I lower the bid price to $1,995 and let the bidding begin.

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt
Sat, Sep 12 2015The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
