1970 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed-----First things first-This car is a canadian built car-I have the canadian paperwork. This is a matching # car-Engine has never been out of the car-Gm of Canada verifies all #'s-Vin on block matches vin on car---I recently aquired this car-It was not running when I got it. It has not been driven since 1996-The previous owner has had it since 1975---This car will need a full resto-but like I said it is a documented matching # SS--As soon as I trailered it home we did some basic work to it and got it running. We changed the plugs,wires,cap, rotor,-changed the oil and filter-There was no gas in the car-it was bone dry which was a good thing. We put on new brakes and rotors and put a new battery in it. And the car fired right up-It actually runs very very good. Especially for a car that hasnt really run since 1996. I drove the car and it really runs good. Shifts through all the gears great and the clutch is good. Master cyl leaks so the brakes are a little squishy but it stops. Its losing fluid out the master. Now I will give the good and bad--We will start with the good--Its all matching #-including the 4 speed tranny and rear. The interior is in really nice shape-It is all original-the dash has no cracks. Has the full gauge pac-The original radio/8track is missing. The dash is uncut-It has the console and buckets-the driver seat is split on the seam. the others are great. Even the carpet is still good and its original. The car had alot of good options-f41handling,this is an original cranberry red car with black stripes,has the cowl hood,close ratio 4 speed,NK1steering wheel cushioned rim,full instrument panel with clock and tach,please see the build sheet for all the options,the SS wheels are in great shape as are the tires. It has the original spare and ss wheel in the trunk. Now the bad----The car spent the last 6 years outside-The trunk pan will need to be replaced. The frame and floors have no holes or rot but the are scaly-but can be wire brushed --There are no holes or anything-see the pics--My guess it will need fenders,door skinThe paint is old and is cracking-my guess its laquer---The roof and trunk have surface rust-see the pics-----I drove this car and it goes straight down the road-no pulling or veering --no rattles or clunks!!--The motor runs great but like I said depends on what you want to do with it--The car deserves a frame off resto--its almost imposible to find a matching # canadian built chevelle ss Im assuming it had a repaint in the 70's or 80's--But it is a true Cranberry Red Car!.--If you know chevelles then you know that a canadian built car is the on to have because of the documentation that is available--This auction is for a serious buyer looking for the right chevelle to restore--This is the one--
On Mar-29-13 at 16:01:58 PDT, seller added the following information:

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
