Awesome 1969 chevelle ss 396 clone  project car-- easy to finish-- spent 90% of it life in california, bought new there, has califonia proteco-o-plate. I have had it for two years, and it is my baby. all the hard work done. New 468 Creat 454 big block, broke in but never driven. (bought this engine new ofrom an engine builder on ebay $3200.00 440 hp)New Summint Street/ Strip TH350 auto trans with new 3500 stall converter. Newly balance drive shaft with Brute force u-jionts. everything on the engine is new, polished intake, holley 750 double pumper carb, all new polished brackets, rebuilt power steering pump, cHrome water pump and pulleys,
chrome120amp alternator,HD Flex, flan, HD Aluminum radiator,energy motor mounts,and more. complete new front suspension, new disc Brake converstion with chrome booster/master cylinder,Ceramic coated headers, stainless hard brake lines, new chrome torque thrust II wheels,BFG RWL tires, All origonal body panels,never any rust other than some surface rust- all minor dents and panels were professional strightened, primed with urathane primer and HAND BLOCKED twice.  The car is Stright! The Car is ready for pain after sanding with 400gt. The car has been "cut-in" with code 72 dupont base/clear Hugger orange ( on of the paint options in 1969). Th paint only needs to be sprayed on the exterior panels.(Called "closed door" painting- much cheaper to get complted at a professional body shop). floor pans and trunk are awesome - underside has nvere been undercated and just has light surface rust. After painting I was planning to put in on a hoist and wire brush and paint it black- it is always hard to find one that does not have tons of the rubber undercoating sprayed all over from the factory.

The interrior is excellant- and is still the origonal light gree. I was planning on dying it satin black( SEM makes top quality spray cans ) rather than Buying JUNK repop interrior pieces.( door panels never fit correctly) dying when done right will last forever. Any nothing fits lit the factory parts!  all the stainless and trim is excellant except for the two trim pieced below the trunk that have been dented beyond exceptable use.  It included a repo SS hood that has has the underside preped and painted- top is in EDP Primer. Also included is origonal hood. All glass is good, al rollup and down as the should, everything works except fuel  guage. even the key buzzer still works.  The car was all origional and complete whern i purchesed it- never modified or taked apart-- this can has been a true pleasure to work on. All parts  like bumoers ( good condition), trim, interrior, moldings (other than below trunk) are included.  I alos am including several other new parts purchased for the car- emblemx, weatherstrip, kit, grill (origional one is still good and included). i am also includnid a new low profile polished intake. the intake currently on the car is a taller that most and will require a low profile air cleaner to fit under the hood. I had not decided if I wanted to swap intakes, or run a low air cleaner or possibly modify the hood brace. I will  let the new owner decide his or her coures of action on this.

The car Startes and moves ad stops ( brake kit fully installed, bleed and functional)- but I has not driven it other than up and down the driveway for operational checks as the allignment needs to be done ASAP, before driving it far, as it has a new front suspension. The car also has a complete new Vinly top installed professionally and all vinyl top trim.

The new owner should replace some of the origional pieces with new for show quality look, lie tail light trim, door handles, mirrors, ect. all the origionals are included but the chrome finished has pitted over the years.

 

this is a great chance to STEAL an origional califirnia NO RUST SS396 Clone for tons less that one that is finished-- ALL the hard stuff is done!

feel free to email or call me with any questions-- see my feedback-- I sold over 10 Chevelles, Novas, and Harleys on Ebay over the last 5 years with all happy customers.  All cars and bikes I have sold have been mine. I donr sell for others so I know everything there is to know about each vehicle I list.

NO RESERVE!!!

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
