1968 Chevelle 300 Deluxe 2 door post L79 Tribute


You are bidding on a very nice 300 Deluxe Survivor that was originally a six cylinder Powerglide car.  Originally purchased at Ross Chevrolet, in St. Petersburg, Florida, this car has only 84,878 miles.  I have the original sales contract, manuals, brochures, and some of the original broadcast sheet.  Car has been mentioned on a couple of websites as the Granny car from Florida.  Very, very original before I started the conversion.

  • Original panels and virtually rust free.  There is some very slight bubbling on the lower rear quarters, but you have to look.  (total disclosure)
  • Excellent rust free floor pans.
  • Trunk pan is 99% perfect and original with correct mat.  (some slight rust right at the very top of the rear trunk.  (photo will show)  Very easy fix or leave it.
  • Original perfect glass.
  • Original perfect trim.
  • Very nice original style interior with original doors panels, kick panels, etc.
  • Brand new ACC carpet with underlayment for a 4 speed car.  I have the original rubber mat, but cracked in places and these are impossible to find.
  • Dash is perfect as seen in photos.  Dash pad is perfect.
  • Car has always been indoors.
  • Rust free chassis in original condition.
  • Original perfect grill.
  • Bumpers are perfect, dent and ding free with excellent chrome.
  • No power steering, no power brakes, and radio delete from the factory with perfect original block off plate.
  • Column shifted Powerglide is still in place and functions properly.  Drives fine.
  • Car is in incredible original condition with on 84,878 original miles.
  • 14 inch rims with correct dog dish hubcaps.  (very nice)
  • Coker 14" Redline Radials.
  • Lenses, lights, signals, are excellent
  • One repaint in original Palamino Ivory
  • Not detailed under the hood, but not bad.  (driver)
Engine

  • Correct 1968 327 block for the L79 (large journal)
  • Correct casting number L79 Quadrajet intake.  (325 Horse 327 in 1968)  Went from aluminum to cast iron in 1968.
  • Correct exhaust manifolds (L79) casting numbers.
  • Correct completely refurbished 2.02-1.60 L79 casting heads.
  • Aluminum Big Block radiator.  (aftermarket)
  • Less than 500 miles on the engine.
  • Everything new inside the motor.
  • L79 Reproduction cam.
  • Converted to 383 stroker internally with balanced rotating assembly.  9.5 to one motor for pump gas driving.
  • Quick, yet functional.
  • Excellent oil pressure and runs cool.
  • Complete Pypes exhaust system front to rear with X crossover.
  • Incredible sound and performance.
  • Currently has Holley 750 in place of the Quadrajet.  It is on an adapter.  I like Holleys better and can work on them.
  • Ten bolt original rearend is in place.
Opportunities...just want to be totally honest.  This is a 99% totally rust free survivor.

  • Powerglide works fine, but does leak around the sector and possibly the front seal.  Does not affect function and does not pour out, but it does make a spot.  Driving is no issue.
  • One door panel has a tear shown in photo.
  • Some minor trunk rust at the very top rear step up of the trunk.  Floors, trunk, etc are excellent.
  • Some very minor bubbling on the lower rear quarters.
Additional stuff...I was about to convert this car to a 4 speed, and here is what you get if it meets reserve.

  • Muncie 4 speed M20 with linkage, but no stick. Working when removed trans with no known issues.
  • Reproduction correct 4 speed hump.
  • Correct 1968 Steering column mask to replace column shifter when converted.
Details....car is very, very nice in original condition.  Reserve is realistic and actually low for this rare body style and conversion.  Shipping is up to you.  Car is in my home shop, and can be inspected by appointment.  I will assist shipping company by meeting them and will photograph prior to leaving.  I suggest you ask any question or come see the car in person.  It is always better that way. Check my feedback....straight up honest.  Thanks for looking.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series
