 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..

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales
