Hello,
Thanks for looking at my auction.This is my 68 Pro Street Chevelle that I've owned since 2001 originally built by JEPRORODZ.COM in 2000. Of coarse it didn't look like this but I posted a pic of what it looked like when I got it.The color is Cortez silver and was done here locally in 2009. Still shows great with only a couple of chips (which I have touched up) The interior was done by Seat Cover King in 2008. The motor was built by Shively Speed and Machine in late 2010. The wiring and numerous other items was done at Street and Strip Performance here in Louisville, KY.
This is a ladder bar car with the entire back half supplied by Chassis Engineering, 4 wheel manual disc brakes, rear are Wilwood, front are Jeg's slotted and drilled, Strange master cylinder,12 bolt 488 Posi with C-clip eliminators. Tires are MT Sportsman 33x 21.5 with "Bob Glidden" Pro Star rims. It has a built 3" driveshaft by Republic Diesel.
The car still retains the key start option but it has been upgraded with an ARC switch panel. The tach is a high end Auto Meter Pro Comp with shift light and dual range.The shifter is a Cheeta with the reverse pattern, Line lock on the console and trans brake button on the handle.
The engine is a BBC 496..Eagle forged rotating assembly, SRP forged pistons (10.25-1 comp.). The cam is a solid roller by Comp Cams 652 lift..262-272 duration @50. Lifters and springs are Lunati..I believe the push rods are from Smith Bros. (had to order a special length because of the heads) Rockers are Crane gold series with stud girdle and poly locks on top. Heads are Pro Topline 320's (now called RHS)...2.25-1.88 Manley Severe Duty valves. Cloyes double roller chain with torrington bearing and thrust button. Melling oil pump with an 8qrt pan. Hooker 2 1/8 headers with Flow Master Delta 3" mufflers, MSD dist , ignition box and coil.. Nice Chrome CSR electric water pump..Dual Derale fan kit with a high end Griffin radiator(1-55272-x)...This motor runs cool! Blower is a Weiand 6/71 with Holley 750's jetted at 91 squared. Power valves are blocked off. This motor is set up to run fat and timing is locked and set at a safe 32 degrees with the blower running 12 percent under. Probably makes a safe 800 HP on pump gas but flip the pulleys change to some VP 116, move the timing to 36 degrees and who knows! The engine has approx. 75 miles (maybe) on it since it was installed in the spring of 2011.
The Trans is a built JW with the upgraded clutch discs and Cheeta manual valve body/brake reverse shift pattern and the torque converter is a TCI 10" with a 3600 stall on the brake..4000 on the flash (don't remember the part number...242200?) it's a good one made for this app. The trans also has is own Be Cool fluid cooler with fan.
The head lights, tail lights and turn signals work. Wipers work but I removed the arms..you can have them...I never drive this car in the rain...ever! Glass is good, door windows roll up. Speedo does not work and it drips oil occasionally (not bad), probably from the excessive crank case pressure under boost. This car was put together with the best of parts..adult driven and proudly maintained. I have been a good stewart to this car but am getting older and don't seem to drive it much anymore. I will entertain partial trades but guys I won't be giving you $20,000 credit for your $10,000 car..I am no dummy! This car has always been a driver for me. It is not a Barrett Jackson car but it is well above average and you would not be embarassed at any rod run. The opening price is the reserve.
Due to the nature of this car it is sold "AS IS" "WHERE IS" ask questions or come and see the car in person, I have no secrets. I will assist in the shipping you arrange.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks
Thu, Jan 22 2015Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
