1968 Chevrolet Chevelle on 2040-cars
College Station, Texas, United States
|
Reluctantly putting this one up for sale. I've owned for 8+ years, previous owner had it for about 10 or so years, all were garaged in Texas. I believe that all metal is original, this is a solid rust free Texas car. Runs and drives great, get in and go (FAST). Clear Texas Title in my name. Have a couple of high dollar projects in the works, so selling a few cars to help raise the cash please see my other auctions. 400 Small Block destroked to 377, 4 bolt, 7 quart pan, 2.02 valves, steel crank and rods, arp rod bolts, Pete Jackson gear drive, TRW forged pistons, Holley single plane Street Dominator intake, Holley 4160 Carb (driver), Comp Cam magnum 292, Harlen Sharp roller rockers, poly motor mounts, 12 bolt 3.73 rear, front disk brake conversion, lakewood ladder bars, boxed in rear arms, 4 core alumn radiator, turbo 400 with ultra bell housing, 8 point roll cage, B&M shifter. NOS 250HP installed but NEVER used. You will need to upgrade the carb from the "driver" 4160 to a 850dp or something along those lines to use the Nitrous. Front seats are out of a 1969 442 (I think) and need recovering, original covers are brittle and torn. I have brand new unopened PUI 1969 seat covers for them that I can include for $260 adder to sale price. I also have a brand new gas tank and sending unit for a $125 adder to the sale price, and an aftermarket gauge cluster housing (no gauges) I can include for a $99 adder to the sale price. I will include the original rear seat, although it does not fit with the NOS bottle and cage installed at this time. The Nitto tires and rims are like new, Rears have maybe 100 miles on them tops. I have driven this car on 2 hour trips with no problems, has never broken down or stranded me. Car has blue neon lights inside and under the car which illuminate the NOS bottle and car very cool. Obviously these can be taken off easily, but they do look good at night. Please note that I will be removing the MSD 6A and timing box, it is not hooked up at this time and I need it for another car. The problems that I know about are: The Tach is not hooked up, the passenger window rolls up but stops about 3 inches from the top, you physically have to pull it up to finish closing it, I do not think the wipers work if memory serves me correctly, the driver side back window fell of its tracks you can still get it up but you have to do so manually moving it while cranking, the hood closes but the springs are old and you have to push the hood down at the cowl after it is closed to look 100% closed - not a big deal but again no surprises, engine starts right up but choke is not set up so you have to warm it up for 30 seconds or so on a cold start. Exhause is a little loud, but not abnoxious. Runs and drives fast - lots of fun, NO hesitation or anything like that, no surprises this is a get in and go car. Car would look awesome with a little time and money, again I hate to part ways with her but just one of those things. I am an honest Ebay and expect the same from a potential buyer. Car is for sale locally I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. International bidders are welcome as I have sold a few toys in the past worldwide, please read my feedback on other Classic Cars and motorcycles I have sold over the years. Thanks and good luck!
On Jan-28-14 at 16:34:11 PST, seller added the following information: I do have a set of rims and tires Rally style for a more original look if you are interested. Contact me with a question on price, we can work out a revised Buy it Now price according to me keeping the Old Schools and Nittos. Thanks for the question, |

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
