1966 Chevelle Ss 396 2door Hardtop. Numbers Matching Drive Train California Car on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:100001
Location:

Bonner Springs, Kansas, United States

Bonner Springs, Kansas, United States

     I am offering for sale my 1966 Chevelle Super Sport. This is a California built SS 396 that spent its life in California until I bought it about 8 years ago. It has been stored inside since I have owned it. The Chevelle was stored for a few years under a shed with the rear end exposed to the weather. The rear glass area rusted out along the bottom and leaked into the trunk. I replaced the trunk pan when I first bought it which I show in the pictures and there is rust at the bottom of the left front fender which is cut out and is also pictured. The lower rear quarter needs a patch panel behind the wheel and is also shown. I bought a new panel for between the rear window and trunk but was only planning on using it for the part required to fix the rusted area and the panel is included in the sale. 
     The motor is the original one for the car and starts and runs good. The transmission has just been resealed at all the linkage seals and the pan gasket and filter has been replaced. The front seal was fine and didn't require any attention. I never found any numbers that would confirm if the transmission is matching to the car.
     The A/C had been stripped off the car when I acquired it but I have collected about 85% of the parts to put it back on with. The radiator is not the correct one and leaks some too. All four of the wheels shown are the correct '66 A6 6 inch wheels and have very good tires mounted on them. I have the solid front inner fenders but haven't dug them out of storage yet so they aren't pictured. The floors and rockers and frame are rock solid and very nice. The seats were changed at some time and are not the originals but are '66 seats and correct for this car. All the tinted glass is there and in good condition. The SS hood is an original and in good condition. 
     When I bought the car it had a flat hood with all of the SS 396 emblems removed, the holes welded up and the car was repainted. It was supposed to have been a street racer while in California is why it was changed to a Malibu appearance.
     The TT paint code is for Sandalwood Tan with the 712 Light Fawn simulated leather bucket seat interior with console. The car appeares to have had the gauge dash from the factory but now has the standard floor shift cluster and the knee knocker tach is gone but the original mounting holes are still there.

Ask any questions before bidding and I will expect the deposit within 48 hours of the auction close and full payment within 7 days. Shipping will be at the buyers expense and the car will run for loading but is not roadworthy and will need to be trailered.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
