1968 Ss396 Rare Pwr Window, Air, Tilt, Numbers Matching Motor Etc...cali Car on 2040-cars
Canoga Park, California, United States

This is a rare SS396/325 Chevelle, seems to be a special order car due to the paint code having a - - paint/trim code. It is white but under trunk seems to have a little pearl in it? Maybe a Buick color? So you could paint it any 1968 color you want and not change the original value. Special order cars in late 1967 could have any color from the GM line so who knows. And the rare options of power windows, tilt and air make this SS unique. Power disc brakes are new and stop on a dime. Rims are original to the car and date stamped. Center caps are original and perfect, trim rings will need replacing but function as a driver. Car is original to California as to why it is so clean and solid.
Whats done already: All suspension, brakes, steering, rear-end, BB springs all replaced with HD versions, poly-graphite bushings, front/rear sway bars. This car drives and handles better than factory. Was a daily driver for me for over a year. AC blows ice cold and everything works as it should. The undercarriage is totally solid with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Floors and trunk are perfect. Frame is perfect. Interior has new upholstery, carpet, dash pad, door panels. Was originally bench seat car. Has new vinyl top, In the process of converting to bucket console car. Have completely restored original tilt column and SS gauges (rolling tach) that go with the car. These are very hard and expensive parts (1500.00 min) to get especially in this perfect NOS condition. The original numbers matching 396 is out of the car on a stand. Prior owner says was rebuilt and stored. Still has assembly lube on it. Car came from an estate and the motor looks as if it was in storage for a while. But it is the original, see pics. I would still break it down and ck it out. The only missing original running gear item is the TH400. But the TH350 in the car is newly built to HD spec with shift kit etc... Rearend is the original correct 12 bolt. The car currently has a 1967 327/275 and a rebuilt TH350 which runs flawlessly in all respects. New 4 core BB radiator. As stated above this car was driven daily from woodland hills to glendale for over a year and never had an issue. No leaks, no overheating, no smoke just simply runs sweet. Always fires right up no matter how long it has been sitting. I will be happy to pull the small block and TH350 and adjust the selling price as agreed upon. What it needs: Obviously paint and some very minimal typical GM rust repair (2 small areas one in pass lower fender and pass rear 1/4) as seen in photos. Console and headliner for interior. Weather strip kit through out. New front glass (crack), A couple trim pieces. Re-chrome front bumper. And that's about all folks. Email me if any questions and please come inspect and drive the car. You will not be disappointed for the value here. This is a 35k+ car when completed. Unfortunately no build sheet, PoP was found or paperwork came with the car when I got it. I have too many cars/projects to complete this one at this point. This is a perfect turn key driver to restore a little at a time while using it. Need to finish my 68 Elco so this one needs to move on. |

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
