For Sale is my 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle two door coupe. I purchased this vehicle in December of 2004 in Georgia and drove it home to Virginia to begin the restoration process. The vehicle has SS badging and correct 1968 SS stripes but is not an original SS. I would describe this vehicle as more of a pro touring style restoration. It is first and foremost a driver but has won several awards at local car shows here in Central Virginia. The car is garage kept and has only seen rain when I got caught out in it. The car is sorted out mechanically and only needs a few minor interior and chrome pieces to be finished. I will be putting new front and rear bumpers with new mounting hardware and lenses on in the next week or so. This vehicle is not perfect but I did not restore it to be a trailer queen. I wanted something I could drive and enjoy along with showing it at local car shows. Below is a summary of the work done to the vehicle but does not cover all upgrades. I would venture to guess that you could not restore this car for what my reserve is set at.
- Dec 2004: New KYB front shocks installed
- Dec 2004: Four new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires installed
- Dec 2004: Front suspension rebuilt with Polygraphite Super Kit and new sway bar bushings (both from PST)
- Dec 2004: Prothane motor and trans mounts installed from OPG
- Feb 2005: Front disc brake conversion kit installed from OPG along with new rear sway bar
- Feb 2005: New power steering box installed

- Mar 2005: Installed new disc brake lines
- April 2005: New Cragar Street Pro 390 wheels mounted from Newstalgia Wheel
- May 2005: Car was taken to bare metal and resprayed in new red paint color (call me and I will provide details as to everything that was done)
- Mar 2006: New Flowmaster exhaust system installed (complete system with H-pipe)
- April 2006: New Eaton posi traction rear installed (3.73 gears)
- April 2006: New KYB rear shocks installed
- June 2006: New big block oil pan and gasket intalled from OPG
- Oct 2006: New ceramic coated Hedman headers installed
- Jan 2007: Engine completely rebuilt (again, call me and I will provide further details)
- Mar 2007: New front light and engine harness installed
- Mar 2007: All new Autometer gauges and carbon fiber gauge panel installed (from Covans Classics)
- April 2007: New 7 inch dual brake booster installed
There are many other smaller items that have been added to this car and I have a 1 1/2 inch thick binder with most receipts of everything done or purchased for this vehicle. Included in the sale is a spare hood, hood springs, center console, new dash switches, and a few other items that are hiding in my garage. Again, this is not a trailer queen but rather a very nicely restored 1968 Chevelle that you can get in and enjoy. I have a clear title for this vehicle and will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Call Steve at (434) 566-1455 anytime.
This car is sold as is with no implied warranty. Shipping or pick up is the responsibility of the buyer but I will help any way I can. A $1000 deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder is due within 7 days. Cash or bank transfer is preferred. If paying by bank transfer, I will sign the title over once the funds have cleared and are in my account. I can keep the vehicle in my garage for you as you arrange pickup. Please call if you have any questions. This really is a nice car that only needs a few minor things to be finished (in my opinion). Thanks for looking.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
