1968 CHEVELLE SS 396

100% Original / Great Investment / RARE

Simply put, this is the real deal. Great investment potential considering this Chevelle SS is as original as one could possibly hope for. Engine and transmission are original to the car (numbers matching). All body panels, including the paint, are original to the car. This car has never been restored or repainted. That being said it's incredibly solid throughout with the exception of some rust in the trunk pan and the rust under the rear window where moisture had trapped underneath the vinyl roof. Other than that she is rock solid and would not require a "frame off" restoration. All body lines are straight as an arrow. All glass is in fantastic shape with no cracks. The interior is intact and in good shape considering the age but seats will need to be recovered. All original SS badging is present and in good shape. A new headliner and rear interior deck are included in the sale.

The car was last registered in 1989 in San Francisco. I even have the 1989 vehicle registration and the license plate tags that were never used. The original Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan / Warranty book with the Protect-O-Plate still attached to the back cover of the book !!! Very rare to find a true "138" SS car with this documentation. The original Owners Manual and misc service receipts (dating back to 1969) come with the car.

Mechanically everything is intact and original to the car. The engine starts but runs rough. Power steering works fine. Newer BFGoodrich tires on Chevrolet Ralley Wheels.

NADA Classic Guides put the values at Low $16,560, AVG $36,240, HIGH $56,280. Considering the crappy economy and the solid, original condition of the car I feel I'm pricing it very fair. With a quality restoration this SS has everything it needs to become a high-end, documented investment. In short, this is a very rare, very original, sweet example of American muscle.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks and Good Luck !!

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.

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.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
