*** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!***
THIS IS A RESTORATION IN PROGRESS! This is NOT a complete running car. There is still sheet metal work to be finished and a few rust spots left to repair. But all the major sheet metal repair has been done. We are selling this car because we just don't have time to finish it, with running two businesses. We don't have to sell this car we just don't have time to finish it and we'd like to see it go to someone who can finish it. There is some wiggle room on the price but not much because we do have a lot of money invested in this already.
We bought this car in 2011 and had it shipped here from Ohio, bought it sight unseen. We paid a couple grand for this car, knowing that id we didn't buy it this Original Chevelle might have found its way to a scrap yard. When the car arrived the seller obviously did not describe it as it was, the spare tire and gas tank were falling thru the trunk because the trunk had rotted thru entirely, and the rust didn't stop there the more we started scrapping and cleaning out we realized it was in major need of total restoration. We started ordering parts from Ground Up Restoration including a full floor with rockers and all braces, right and left FULL quarter panels, drip rail supports, right and left floor pans to replace where the toe pans had rotted, a full trunk floor with braces, quarter panel extensions right and left side, brand new trunk lid, rear window panel, right and left taillight extensions, tail lamp support brace, right and left firewall brackets, right and left full complete doors (NOT just skins). All the parts with tax and shipping equals almost $5,000, that's not including the cost of putting the parts on. This is what needs to be done to finish- toe pans, front firewall braces are welded on you need to finish welding in the full floor the quarters and the extensions in the back with a spot welder. We didn't have time to finish replacing rear fender wells, we were intending to mini tub the car once we had the floors in place. The braces under the backseat inside the car are screwed in and as a personal preference if you want to replace these or just patch them in since they aren't seen anyway. There are a couple spots around the top of the dash the will need some patches made. Again all this gets hidden under the dash pad and all the stainless trim that goes on the outside. A lot of the cracks and crevices that had some rust on them we sprayed with Eastwood's rust encapsulator, which acts as a navel jelly and stops rust. In the back of the car under the back window valance panel could use a couple patches here and there which again is hidden by the outer valence panel that we purchased new. As far as the frame goes it has its typical rust spots, it can be patched, but we were going to replace it with a box style frame and new suspension so we didn't put any emphasis on that just yet. It is a non-posi rear, front disc brakes, power steering. We have a 400 trans to go with the car, no engine the engine was shot and we do not have it anymore. We have 85% of all the parts we took out of the car, except for, from fenders and hood, and front and back seats. Just a note all the hard sheet metal work is done, it is a lot of work replacing full floors and full quarter panels.Any shop would have charged $10,000 for all this work to be done. My personal opinion if we were to continue with this car I would have lightly sand blasted the rest of the inside of this car.
Car has its clear Certificate of Title from Ohio ( as seen in pic) that we never signed, which we will give at the time of transaction. We have the original front and rear bumpers, front grill assembly and radiator support they are not in very good condition but you are welcome to have them. Feel free to go on Ground Up Restoration's website and add up all these parts so you can see just in parts how much is invested.
We would prefer local pickup, but we had this car shipped when we bought it we paid almost $700 to have it shipped from Ohio, so if you want to have it shipped, you ave to make the arrangements and pay for it. We will make sure the parts are secure in the car and the body is secure to the frame. But if you have it shipped you might want it shipped in an enclosed carrier because the car is in bare metal.
Please serious buyers only. We have a few more pics showing every detail of this car. The car is in a 1 car garage which makes it difficult to push in and out every time someone wants to see it, Thank you for you understanding.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
