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.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
