First, and most importantly to the Chevelle purist, is the question..........IS THIS A REAL CHEVELLE SS and can you prove this?

The answer is, YES! I did not have a build sheet for this car, and we all know how poorly General Motors kept track of SS records in 1972 in the US, BUT...............not in Canada!!!!! At GM Canada, they have a Division called GM Vintage Services Div. And they have all of the records on all GM Canada built Chevelles. So, if you are fortunate enough to have had your SS built in Canada and have no build sheet, they will give you all of the info on the birth history of your Chevelle. This even includes the dealer it shipped to, which in my case was Bud Colt's Chevrolet in Lansing Michigan, they will also give you build date, all options that were ordered on the car, and standard items. They will also tell you how many cars with your option and standard packages that they built in that model year. To authenticate and prevent tampering on these reports, they use raised GM certification seals <like a notary of the public seal> and they place this over the VIN #, and options that affect the car, and the employee creating the report. They use 3 seals per sheet. In this case, the Z15 option is for the SS and cars built to this spec that year was 1,542 vehicles. These sheets of authenticity go with this Chevelle. This means everything to many of us that want a true, pure Chevelle SS. It is a fact that most SS Chevelles out there from 72 are clones and most without the original engine. This car has it everything that true Chevelle folks want! Clones without original motors going for $25k to $35k just blows mind but I guess beauty and value are in the eyes of the beholder. This car has, and will continue to appreciate in value for many many years!!!

This is a thoroughbred and NOT a clone! She is right now, as she came off the Assembly Plant Floor..........a true Chevelle Super Sport!

Now, almost every 40 year old car has a story to tell and this one is no exception. The car is in very good condition. It was purchased from a retired gentleman in Southern Michigan. After many phone calls to previous owners, the original engine was a barn find!!! The engine was real rough <picture in ad of as it was before re birth> and was sent to the best in the business, D&S Detroit Muscle for a complete re birth. She was stripped, baked, re machined, painted and completely rebuilt. She was brought up to 300 HP plus <look out big blocks> built up to 4 bbl and was put back where she belongs, in her first home as she came from the factory. She has less than 50 miles on her and runs like the day she came off the line, only better < there is a full warranty on the engine>. New MSD Ignition, Heddon coated headers, new pan etc. This car sounds AWESOME! Engine compartment was cleaned and painted as well. Over $8k was spent on this engine project and I have all receipts for all work performed.

New carpet, new dash face, all gauges professionally rebuilt, new pan, seals, gaskets, hoses, trans mount, rebuilt drums, new springs and shocks, new tie rod ends.

Seats and dash are excellent. Tires very good. Everything under the hood is like brand new and is warranted. Interior is excellent! If I were going to keep her, I would have her wet sanded and buffed out. Paint is a 7 , but I am very critical. Cowl door should be re striped.

I encourage you to come have a look and take her for a drive.

The ONLY reason that I am selling this great car is because I just bought a 1970 SS with a 4 speed which was on my bucket list! I am 52 years old and survived open heart surgery earlier this year and the Mrs told me to go buy my 4 speed.

If you want a car that you can drive for many years, worry free, this is the car for you! You won't be disappointed! I am sure I have missed something, and I am no mechanic so I included a pic of the specs on the car as well. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! Shoot me an email with any questions or to schedule a day to see the car.

Will also consider trade for 1966,67,68, or 69 Chevelle SS of equal value or as part of a deal. No other trades accepted, sorry!

I can help with scheduling shipping as well. I like Reliable Transport.

Spring is here, and this is a car that you can drive cross country tomorrow with confidence!

If you would like a video of the car running, please let me know. I cannot figure out how to do it in the ad, and the kids are at college! ;)

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
