have copious amounts of money in this car. purchased through some people in my home town that own the local towing/wrecking company. had been in one of his out buildings forever along with a 68 malibu that looked as though it got ass-ended by a log truck. the malibu had buick interior verified by cowl tag and build sheet. this was a strike year and these cars could of had anything gm in them. took the front clip, nice doors, mint buckets, and tilting/telescoping column from that car along with a few other parts. the super sport drive train had gone into one of his race cars years ago. guy I went to high school with in the 70's drove it every day. knew it was the same car by custom paint that had a graphic on the quarters.
I had a 69 427 and super t10 that was destined for the car, but has since gone into a 69 vette I purchased from a friend. original teal blue/teal blue 396 4 speed ac car with split back front bench. the guy that did all the work has mad skills and converted the firewall to accept a standard heater box. floors and trunk had plenty of pin holes. bottom of quarters and wheel well lips were rusted. after the trunk was cut out some rust was found in the bottom of the tail panel so it was replaced also. everything but the frame was either media blasted or stripped with a large brush on a big grinder. no rattle can anything anywhere on this car. high solid epoxy went on top of bare metal, then body work, then a regular epoxy primer. still have a gallon of $100 sealer primer that comes with car. brought it back just short of paint when I knew it would be sold. my plan was black base/clear. the dash, rear package area and window frame already painted black single stage urethane. engine compartment, interior, trunk shot with a satin black enamel. high grade paintable undercoating that dries like bedliner went on trunk, floors, underside of trunk and drop offs. splatter paint went on top of that in the trunk. the metal work was awesome. the quarter skins were fully welded as was the trunk and floors. zero warping as the guy takes the time to weld cool weld cool. very little filler besides the quarter skin seams. urethane seam sealer on all trunk and floor seams. all door hinges rebuilt, heater box all gone through with new heater core, new dash pad, rear seat all new. the front buckets are still the buick style upholstery, but mint. planned on using them for a few years before buying the chevelle stuff. all the loose pieces were media blasted and put in satin black enamel(bumper brackets, ect.) new front and rear bumpers. new tank and sending unit. new core support and bushings. the front clip was re-assembled with all new hardware. grill re-painted with satin black on top of an adhesion promoter. all the stainless is polished and ready to go back on. roof rail stainless has new foam installed on it. all the factory dark green tinted glass including the perfect factory windshield installed. rear and windshield put in with primer and urethane instead of the cheap tape kits. front and rear window molding clips all new and ready for moldings to be snapped in place. this car was complete when I took it apart. threw out a few things that needed replacing(front turn signals, couple of marker lights, and a couple of aluminum trim pieces come to mind). otherwise everything is there. all the wiring was in good shape and back in place. car had a factory roller tach cluster that was pretty nasty and expensive to restore, so I sold it to help build the mountain of cash that went into this thing. used the speedo/clock cluster from the malibu which was in nice shape.
major stuff to complete the car would be: headliner, door panels, carpet, motor/transmission( I have two 4 speed drivelines), exhaust, radiator. If you can swing a gun and turn a wrench, watch your nickels and dimes you could finish this thing for a lot less than buying a done one. they took a bunch of resto pics for me with a cheap digital camera I left there you can find at: http://1968chevellesupersport.shutterfly.com/
have a contact at an oregon transport company that is really reasonable and will help get the car loaded for whoever comes for it. If you have any doubts about what you may be buying here please come look at it up close. everything was done right by a professional who cares about their work. this is a fixed price/make offer listing so everyone interested knows it is an honest sale and not some guy running it up with his buddies fake bids.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same
Sat, Jul 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
