This is a 1969 Chevelle that I have owned since 1995. I purchased this car in Arlington, Texas. The body had approximately 54,000 miles on it and it was not registered since about 1977 until I bought it. It was the most rust free body I had ever seen. It had a hole about the size of a quarter in the passenger side quarter panel. The window channels in the front and rear are perfect and never messed with. This car has went through a frame on restoration and I done most of the work myself except finishing the body, paint and buffing. This car has it's original quarters, doors, trunk floor, floor pans and was stripped to bare metal. I did replace the original front fenders with G.M. N.O.S. that I purchased in 1985. The only repop sheet metal is the trunk lid and it fits nice and shuts great. All the stainless window trim is original and was polished on the front and rear plus the roof rail chrome. The fender well chrome as well as the SS 396 Fender emblems are N.O.S. The grill is the original grill but the chrome trim is repro and fits better than most. The tail light bezels are original and are in really nice shape. The rear bumper is an original OEM bumper that was rechromed but the front one is a repro and both are really nice. The car was originally Butternut Yellow with a black interior but I had it repainted with Dupont Chromabase Monaco Orange with Clear shot on top and installed the Parchment Interior.

The Parchment Interior came from Legendary and the quality surpasses their competition by a mile. The bucket seat foams were replaced as well. It also has a factory gauge package that was restored by Specialty Instruments. All the gauges and speedometer work and the clock keeps perfect time. Also has the optional stock radio plate when the radio would was not wanted. The dash bezel is new as well as the steering wheel. The console is an original one with a repro top bezel but all the rest of the parts and the shifter are OEM.

The engine sitting under the hood was rebuilt by "Ohio George Montgomery" in Dayton, Ohio. It is a 2 bolt main 454 which was bored out .030 and TRW 2465 F domed pistons were installed with the open chamber heads it has right around 9.8 to 1 compression so you can use pump gas. New ARP rod bolts installed and the crank was balanced after being turned .010 on the mains and rods. The camshaft is a Crane .533 .533 lift with 228 duration @ .050 lift with a 108 centerline. The cylinder heads are 049 casting open chamber heads that have had 2.19 intake valves and 1.88 exhaust valves with hardened seats installed and pocket ported by Dave Laird at Heads Up in Dayton, Ohio. Comp cams steel full roller rockers sit on top with 3/8" push rods. The oval port Wieand intake was port matched to the heads and the Q-Jet sitting on top was restored by Eric Jackson of Vintage Musclecar Parts. Distributor is a Petronix Billet Flame Thrower lll with a built in rev limiter set at 5600 rpms. The exhaust manifolds dump into Pypes stainless steel head pipes and they run into Thrush Welded Turbo mufflers then hits the mandrel bent Flowmaster tail pipes and exit out the stock big block exhaust extensions. The whole system is 2 1/2" all the way through. We ran the car on the dyno a couple runs and it made 340 hp at the rear wheels. The engine has 50-55 lbs of oil pressure when cold and when warmed up it has around 30-35 at idle.

Transmission is a Turbo 400 short shaft that was originally in a 1968 Impala. It has been gone through totally with everything new that could be put in. It shifts firm but not enough to destroy u-joints and it will bark the tires easily into 2nd gear when shifting manually. The original kickdown switch works as it should and it has a Hughe's 2500 stall converter that you don't even notice when driving. The 12 Bolt rearend has had a new Eaton Posi intstalled with a new 3.73 ring and pinion with Moser Axles with no wining or roaring going down the road.

The whole cooling system is new with a 4 row radiator, heater core, fan clutch. I have only used distilled water in the cooling system so it has never had tap water mixed with the anti-freeze.

The tail lamp, headlight and engine harnesses have all been replaced with M&H Fabricators stock replacement harnesses. The dash harness and fuse panel were restored as well.

The wheels are original 1969 14x7's SS wheels that have their original trim rings and centers. The tires are BF Goodrich T/A radials that are 245x60x14's that have about 3/4 of their tread left.

The front and rear glass have been replaced and side glass are the original pieces. They operate like they should. All the rubber seals have been replaced.

The power front disc brakes stop very well with new rotors, calipers, dust shields and bearings. All the braking system was new when installed as well as the brake lines from the Right Stuff all the way from the front to the rear including the power brake booster, master cylinder and the wheel cylinders on the rear.

I have put approximately 3300 miles on the car since the restoration process. The suspension is all new under the front including new coils springs and shocks all the way around. The rear control arms are boxed in with the stock G.M. sway bar attached to them.

Buyer is responsible for delivery costs or you could pick it up if your local in person. This car was not originally an SS but I could put it next to any other 69 SS and you would not know any better. I have been next to the real cars and they don't know the difference.

I don't want to sell this car but I am going to have to let her go. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt

Mon, Jan 13 2014

At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.

Is this GM's next electric crossover?

Thu, Nov 16 2017

GM made headlines this week when CEO Mary Barra presented the company's electrification and automation plans at the Barclays Global Automotive Conference in New York. "We are committed to a future electric vehicle portfolio that will be profitable," Barra said, which could be taken as a jab at Tesla. In the presentation ( PDF here), though, we see a new vehicle in a slide titled "Leveraging existing BEV platform to expand in near term." The vehicle, seen above, accompanied the captions "New CUV entries" and "two entries by 2020." Is this a sneak preview of an upcoming electric crossover from GM? The image seems too realistic and intentional to be a random placeholder. If this is, indeed, an upcoming battery-electric CUV based on the Bolt, the question remains: Will it be a Chevy or a Buick? It has no visible badging, but it shares DNA from both brands. As Inside EVs points out, though, it does bear a resemblance to the Chevrolet FNR-X concept unveiled in Shanghai earlier this year. With two CUVs on the way, it's not unthinkable that there could be a version for each brand. In addition to this slide, the presentation includes plans for an "All new multi-brand, multi-segment platform" launching in 2021. The all-new modular battery system will cost less than $100 per kWh, providing higher energy density and faster charging. The platform will host at least nine different vehicles, including a compact crossover, seven-seat luxury SUV and a large commercial van. GM has said it will launch 20 new EVs by 2023, and that it targets 1 million EV sales per year by 2026. Many of those sales will be in China. Related Video:
