This Auction is for 1968 Chevelle SS 396 real 138 vin code with Matching # motor and 12 bolt 3:31 rear end. This vehicle needs complete restoration but is a complete car with engine and trans out of car. Motor was torn down for knock which is Piston skirt and pin failure on #4 cylinder. Block will need sleeve in that cylinder and is do able according to our local NAPA machine shop since it did not enter waterjacket of block(see photo).All engine components are there and are date code correct except for the carburetor and steering brackets. Cylinder heads were already reworked for another engine but decided to keep with this car. Came with 2 spd glide trans but now is t-350,I have a glide that will go with car.This car has all original sheet metal that will need to be replaced including floor pans, but quarters could be lower halfed in my opinion.Roof cowl and rockers are solid except small rust in drivers A-pillar at bottom(see photo).Frame is solid and straight no wreck evidence found.I left this car complete until resto is started so we would'nt scatter parts everywhere or loose anything, so what you see is what I saw at purchase 4 years ago.Car is drum brake,power steering,powerglide,no guages or tach cluster,bucket seat console,no a/c or pwr brakes,rally wheels on car go with it and it rolls and stops fine so loading will be no problem.Was originally light green exterior with matching interior and has only one crappy paint job over it. I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my knowledge without tearing it apart and hope the photos answer most questions,but feel free to contact me if any questions or you need additional photos of something not shown. I encourage inspection before bidding if possible because I would not want to mislead anyone on this vehicle.
In case you are wondering why I dont restore it myself is we are already doing 3 cars and funds and time do not permit.If interested I have a 1972 454 short block motor that can be had with car.Reserve on this car is $5000.00 so there is no quessing. I have seen non matching Chevelles with more rust go for that and more. Thanks for looking and good luck.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
