1969 SS 396 Chevelle convertible! I bought this car late 2000 and this is what I know, was told it was restored in 1998 and the speedo was put at 0 it now has 8400 miles on it, I have put over 3000 of those on it. It has numbers matching rear end (original to car but posi added) numbers matching Turbo 400 trans (original to car) the engine is a real 1969 396 engine (feb. build date, car is late 1968 build) it has been decked in rebuild, was told it was a CE replacement for the car, but have no paperwork. I do have the POP and everything I have stated checks out. This car is really done right, I was told only NOS GM parts were used in the restoration and some crazy story about a $700 dollar NOS A/C hose. The engine compartment must be done perfect as every time I take it to a show guys take pic for their restoration. Everything works on the car but the A/C which did work when I got it but now it does not blow cold. I do have the front bumper guards and the 14" rallies with trim rings & white letter tiger paws on them (I like the 15" vette rallies better both go with car) I'm 6'4" and have add brackets so the front seat can go further back and recline as seen in the pics, they will be removed and it will be put back to stock. Color combo speaks for itself and is original colors for the car. I have added air bags to give it a bit of a higher stance (not much). The rosewood wheel is cracked at the top seam, car has the gauge pkg. white manual convertible top with glass window and everything else you see in pics. My collection has changed from old muscle to new muscle, this car was the best of the best of my old muscle collection as has been the hardest for me to let go, but a new Shelby is going to replace it after I sell it. You are more than welcome to come over and inspect the car or have an agent for you come I have a lift for your use. There is a little bubble in the paint on the upper passenger side rear quarter panel right next to the trunk lid, I have had body guys tell me they should be able to buff it out, but I didn't want to take the chance. Call with any questions, Brian 847-392-3330

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
