1968 Chevelle Convertible Ls2 Custom Chassis C6 Corvette Rare "corvelle" Project on 2040-cars
Seminole, Florida, United States
|
Car started as a 1968 Chevelle Convertible, auto 350 car, in great shape, owned by former professional athlete. When he blew the motor a couple years ago, he searched for something more, and found a damaged 2008 corvette with some more power. He sent the Chevelle to a local frame shop, and had a custom chassis constructed of steel as you see, so that the wheelbase would match that of the Chevelle, as the corvette was shorter. The corvette torque tube was custom made, and the front and rear suspensions were professionally attached to the custom made frame. This is a tedious and expensive process to get a car to this stage, this much you should be able to see. The Chevelle then went to a body shop for floors and new paint, as well as the fiberglass dash, this is also where the trunk lid, convertible top, and grill went missing. After much headache, he went and bought a new luxury sports car and left in one of his garages, where i picked it up. The guy i was going to have work on it is off filming a tv show somewhere, and i don't want to wait for his return, so i am putting it up for sale.
Clean Florida title as a 1968 Chevelle, i will add the vin tomorrow when i check the title at my office. Last 8 of vin are stamped on firewall, and fender tag is intact. Currently in project stage as you see, drivetrain (Auto and LS2) and body are mounted, the staggered 18/19 corvette wheels and tires are in amazing shape, frame work is truly a work of art. Power windows install was started as well. Car currently has piston powered vertical lift doors on, forgot to grab a picture with the doors up. It rolls and comes with some air ride and misc parts as you see in pictures, which include wiring harness, bumpers, ECU, battery ground and some AC lines. The body has no rust, and no previous body work, has a couple touch ups as you see to prep for new paint. I am only able to find record of one of these cars ever offered for sale completed, and it was last listed for sale at over $100k at Mecum and was on ebay at some point for $109k if memory serves me right. It is worth twice what i am asking just in parts, and should be an amazing car once someone takes the time to finish it. Please ask any questions, and serious buyers can call me at 845.633.3113 to discuss. Car can be stored through end of the month if needed once payment is made. Car is for sale locally and i reserve the right to end auction if sold locally. I would like to sell it straight out, and am not sure if i am selling too cheap here, so I will consider market ready late model car or boat in the 20k value range as comparable trade, no more projects for me, kid on the way. Thank you for looking. |

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
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.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
