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)

- 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

- 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.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
