1964 Chevelle Ss Body # 2 The Holy Grail Of All Chevelles on 2040-cars
Federal Way, Washington, United States
|
Here is a 1964 Chevelle SS that is Body # 2, serial # 3 which means it was the second Chevelle V8 SS produced and number 3 off the production line. There is no way to know if the # 1 Chevelle SS V8 was number one or number 2 off the production line, all I know is that the first and second 1964 Chevelle SS's were built in the first three cars off the production line in 1963 and there is no known record of the # 1 Chevelle SS that can be found or know if it even exist today.
I bought this car several months ago from a guy who had owned it for the the last fifteen years. He painted the car a different color, put in a new 350 engine and added a M21 4 speed trans with 373 gears. I decided to restore the car back to the original color and condition and install the correct engine and transmission so I stripped the car down to bare metal and found that the rear quaters needed to have new skins on them so I have installed them and am currently doing the rest of the body work and getting it ready to paint, I have spent countless hours on this car so as to do it the correct way. I have decided to see if someone wants this car the way it is so they can have it restored the way they want not the way I want. I'm in no hurry to sell this car but it is for sale, and if I don't get my price then I will finish the car myself, as I have restored several cars over the years and I know what it takes, lots of time and money. I have the original bumpers and most all the original trim, but it will need to be restored. I also have some new interior door panels but they are black and not correct, the guy I bought the car from was going to do black interior. The motor pictured here is the correct 283, 220 hp 4 bbl with the correct intake manifold, correct exhaust manifolds and carb. as well as the correct matching powerglide trans. The car has epoxy DP50LF on it for a sealer and then 1 gal. of Evercoat Feather Fill which has been guide coated and block sanded. There will have to be more Evercoat and block sanding until body is perfect. The Chevelle doesn't show it's best because of the work being done on it right now, sorry about that. This car does drive under it's own power, running gear all new, including brakes. I will probably only list this car once and if it doesn't sell, it will go off the market until fully restored. The pics of the car in grey color are before I stripped the car. I'm sure if your interested in this Rare Chevelle SS you'll have questions and I would be more then happy to answer them. I will not give out my reserve information, but thank you for looking. Keep in mind that this just might be the oldest Chevelle Super Sport in the World.

On May-02-14 at 15:09:39 PDT, seller added the following information: I have added pics of the way the car left the factory in the colors, drivetrain, and engine plus trim including the bumpers with the bumper guards. Thses pics were found on Marc Schiliron's Classic Cars. I believe the car deserves to be restored like this for the historical value and because it's the begining of a great car line. I have the bumpers with the guards as seen and 90% of the original trim, hub caps, original seats as seen in my pics, auto console ect. Please note that most of the trim will need to be restored. I think this Chevelle SS should be in a Museum when fully restored. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
