This is a very nice 1968 chevelle, My dream was always to buy a 68/69 chevelle and restore it. I started looking and realized i could buy one that was already restored and make it what i wanted for 1/2 the price. well, about 6 months ago i did just that. I bought a 1968 chevelle locally that was a complete original restoration for 15,500.00
I started by buying some custom made wheels ( rear are custom made for the huge offset) 18x8.5 on front and 20x10.5 on back. I didn't want to big as i was going for that pro touring look. They have less than 200 miles on them and they were 2800.00 with tires. It had the stock rebuilt numbers matching 327 that was OK but i wanted more. I enlisted a local shop that build drag car motors to take the motor and build it. They suggested a 385 stoker and that's what i went with. partial rundown on motor ( every moving part, nut and bolt is brand new) It runs like a raped ape but is very very smooth and gets 20mpg going 65-70 ( 2000-2200 RPM) Shes sporting a Bcool dual fan setup that works off a temp switch also.. very cool keeps it nice and cool wile in traffic 10-5-1 compression ( runs good on 93) speed pro pistons scat forged crank scat forged rods Pete Jackson gear drive 550/550 lift cam ( choppy but good brakes, streetabilty) custom aluminum heads 202-160 valves comp rollers 4150 holley double pumper ( mechanical ) hooker headers performer intake 1608 stat HEI dist and so on, I spent 3000.00 having motor built ( 1500 miles ) After i had it put in it was obvious the 350 turbo trans wanted NOTHING to do with this motor.. I had a local trans shop build a 4l60E trans with lockup in overdrive with a slightly over stock tci converter ( raptor 700 ) as i wanted to travel with this car with the wife on the power block tour. The interior was completely redone to original, id say its flawless but pics show its a little dirty but i will clean it up really nice if it sells. body is near flawless with minor rick chips as this is a 10 year old restoration i was told. The paint looks flawless from 10 feet away but close inspection it shows some light sand scratches under hard inspection. Most of the time can only see them under gas station lights at night for some reason. The car was a frame off restoration, frame is spotless, every bushing and bearing was replaced. all stainless steal brake lines. under body is original and shows original undercoating. NOT SO GOOD ABOUT HER, when i put the front timing cover on i must have messed up the gasket a bit because it has a ever so slight seep of oil coming out of it, paint has some BB size rock chips, small paint bubbles ( not rust ) some of the 45 year old chrome is showing age ( door handles comes to mind) a/c isn't hooked up nor do i have a compressor, heat isn't very good because of the low temp tstat, i have yet to put new corrected speed o gears in ( will make speedo accurate ) i need to clean up a few wires the hook. Im going to try to fix the leak, speedo and wiring... That's about it really it has a Over all this car is a sexy stunning car, better for the driver not the show queen. she has her flaws but shes 45 years old but will still hold her own on the steet with any modern muscle car. Please look over pics very carefully. You more then welcome to inspect car anytime before bidding.. |

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
