This is my 1970 chevelle builder/project car, I have come to the realization that I simply cannot build all of the cars that I have and need to  let this one go to a good home.I dragged this car out of the woods in east tn last year,def saved it from a terrible fate. Now onto the car.....


This chevelle has a super solid frame, it has good bones so you have a great foundation to build on. I stripped down and por 15ed the front frame rails and engine cradle.I stripped the car to the bare metal the hard way, the only thing that wasnt stripped is the trunk lid.The roof is good and solid, the doors are solid with very, very minimal rust a spot about the size of a half dollar on both give or take and its far from rot through,the innerstructure has some rust but some cleaning and por 15 and should be fine,door glasses are in both doors and regulators work .

Both front fenders are doable but both need lower patches. Drivers quarter has been cut out but I have a goodmark skin I will let go with it. Passenger side quarter is workable.Trunk lid is in good shape,the car will need a trunk floor or a patch and it will need front floorpans. Rockers are super solid.Passenger quarter glass was broken out but I have a replacement that goes with it. Windshield was junk and busted but I have a stock replacement to go with it,it is just setting in place. I also have a good grill that will go with the car. If the body panels were all on and the car was down in sealer/primer it would really take shape.

Vin plate and cowl tag is in place, this was a factory green mist car. Vin and cowl tag info availible upon request.This was also a factory ac,it looks like the components are in the trunk(condensor,firewall box etc) but no compressor.

I do have availible  but is NOT included with the car the following items
very nice front and rear bumpers,rear has an ss pad,full floorpans,tail panel,goodmark ss hood, goodmark fender extensions,355 sbc engine and turbo 350.Although some items may be pictured they do NOT go with the car. If someone would like the option to purchase these items to go with the car I will surely make you a good deal.

Driveline- There is not a engine or transmission,I do have a nice built cammed 355 sbc and a pro built 350 turbo  by taylor transmissions,there is a stall convertor but I am unsure of the stall speed. The cam is one for a heavy car and the engine only has 9k miles and it very clean. This can be bought to go with the chevelle but is NOT included in the auction.The car does have a ten bolt rear end and 4 wheel drum brakes.Although the car is pictured with the engine installed, it is NOT included with the auction but can be had for additional cost. The auction is only for the body of the car,roller whatever you want to call it.

Current state of the car, I have the fenders, and doors off of the car and the shell as told  earlier is in bare metal except for the trunk lid and door jamb areas, you can see what your getting and no paint or primer to hide rust or bondo. Obviously you arent driving this home ,it will need to be trailered or towed,tires are junk so bring some good ones if your arent hauling on a trailer.

Paperwork- I bought this car with a bill of sale,I currently have someone working on getting a title to the vehicle, I do not know how long the process will take but I WILL forward the proper paperwork to the new owner providing I recieve it.Otherwise I will be selling the car the same way as I bought it,with a bill of sale.Some states dont even require a title for a vehicle this old anyways.

Payment I will accept paypal or cash, if paying the full amount in paypal please add 3 percent. I will also accept a certified bank check but the car will NOT be allowed to leave the premises till the check clears my bank. I will need a 500.00 nonrefundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. I will require full payment in 7 days of auctions end.

The final bid is what you pay, we do not negotiate the sales price at pickup, that has already been determined at  the auctions end. If you desire to negoitate at pickup I reserve the right to keep your deposit and relist the car.Your final bid is the sales price.

I will also consider all trades but please be realistic as I know 70 chevelles are the car to have,obviously you will need to bring it here when you pickup the chevelle. I have most of the main parts needed to build this car,perhaps we could work some sort of package deal. Some items of interest but certainly not limited to are motorhomes or nice travel trailer,turbo regals(84-87) 1000cc and up sportbikes(no old banana seats) may consider a NICE goldwing or similiar,no other cruisers I have a softail,pontoon boat or what do you have? If the car meets the reserve I will let the auction run its course.

 I can be reached via email,text messaging or by calling me,I work alot of hours so if your unable to reach me on my cell,feel free to email or text me.

Please assume nothing and ask questions, this is a project and there is no possible way I can have a foolproof description of the car, it is nearly 44 years old. I welcome and encourage questions or simply come have a look. 615-238-4855 no calls after 10pm central standard time please.

Please also note that the car will be subject to local sale until the reserve is met,alot of my auctions end early so feel free to make an offer,otherwise the auction will run its course.Please dont not ask what the reserve is just bid what you think its worth to you, I assure you my reserve is very very reasonable.

Shipping the the responsibility of the buyer but I will work with shippers any way I can within reason. I may also be able to help with shipping or meeting you with the car closer to your home but the car and my expenses must be paid in full beforehand.Please note if you are paying with a cashiers check I will not release the car until it clears. We can talk about other forms of payment for a quicker solution if necessary.

 Im sure there will be some internet trolls that have some smart ass remarks to say but dont waste your time, I wont respond to stupid comments or post your stupid comments or questions.To everyone else,thanks for looking.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
