1966 Chevelle Ss 396 2door Hardtop. Numbers Matching Drive Train California Car on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:100001

Bonner Springs, Kansas, United States

Bonner Springs, Kansas, United States

     I am offering for sale my 1966 Chevelle Super Sport. This is a California built SS 396 that spent its life in California until I bought it about 8 years ago. It has been stored inside since I have owned it. The Chevelle was stored for a few years under a shed with the rear end exposed to the weather. The rear glass area rusted out along the bottom and leaked into the trunk. I replaced the trunk pan when I first bought it which I show in the pictures and there is rust at the bottom of the left front fender which is cut out and is also pictured. The lower rear quarter needs a patch panel behind the wheel and is also shown. I bought a new panel for between the rear window and trunk but was only planning on using it for the part required to fix the rusted area and the panel is included in the sale. 
     The motor is the original one for the car and starts and runs good. The transmission has just been resealed at all the linkage seals and the pan gasket and filter has been replaced. The front seal was fine and didn't require any attention. I never found any numbers that would confirm if the transmission is matching to the car.
     The A/C had been stripped off the car when I acquired it but I have collected about 85% of the parts to put it back on with. The radiator is not the correct one and leaks some too. All four of the wheels shown are the correct '66 A6 6 inch wheels and have very good tires mounted on them. I have the solid front inner fenders but haven't dug them out of storage yet so they aren't pictured. The floors and rockers and frame are rock solid and very nice. The seats were changed at some time and are not the originals but are '66 seats and correct for this car. All the tinted glass is there and in good condition. The SS hood is an original and in good condition. 
     When I bought the car it had a flat hood with all of the SS 396 emblems removed, the holes welded up and the car was repainted. It was supposed to have been a street racer while in California is why it was changed to a Malibu appearance.
     The TT paint code is for Sandalwood Tan with the 712 Light Fawn simulated leather bucket seat interior with console. The car appeares to have had the gauge dash from the factory but now has the standard floor shift cluster and the knee knocker tach is gone but the original mounting holes are still there.

Ask any questions before bidding and I will expect the deposit within 48 hours of the auction close and full payment within 7 days. Shipping will be at the buyers expense and the car will run for loading but is not roadworthy and will need to be trailered.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
