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

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."
GM recalls nearly 340,000 large SUVs to fix daytime running lights
Thu, Nov 10 2022General Motors has initiated a recall campaign for more than 338,000 of its large SUVs to address a potential defect in the onboard computer software that controls the daytime running lights. In some cases, the DRLs may remain on even when the headlights are enabled, which creates additional glare for oncoming drivers at night and fails to comply with federal regulations for headlight performance. "GM determined that the body control module (BCM) software in these vehicles, under a combination of certain pre-conditions, may fail to deactivate the DRLs when the headlamps are on," GM's recall report said. "A regulatory assessment was conducted to evaluate whether the condition presented a potential noncompliance with the DRL activation requirements in S7.10.5, Table I-a. of FMVSS 108. On October 27, 2022, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a recall for potential noncompliance with this standard." GM says the recall covers the 2021 model year GMC Yukon and Yukon XL, 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and 2021 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV. The company says all models produced within that operating window include the improperly programmed body control module, meaning all vehicles within the recall population may exhibit the problem. The issue was discovered by a GM engineer during validation testing in August, prompting a deeper investigation and eventually leading to the recall itself.  The module's software can be updated by GM dealers, so it should be a quick fix for customers. Notifications will be mailed to owners in December. Related video: Recalls Cadillac Chevrolet GMC Ownership Safety SUV Luxury
