This is a 1969 Chevelle that I have owned since 1995. I purchased this car in Arlington, Texas. The body had approximately 54,000 miles on it and it was not registered since about 1977 until I bought it. It was the most rust free body I had ever seen. It had a hole about the size of a quarter in the passenger side quarter panel. The window channels in the front and rear are perfect and never messed with. This car has went through a frame on restoration and I done most of the work myself except finishing the body, paint and buffing. This car has it's original quarters, doors, trunk floor, floor pans and was stripped to bare metal. I did replace the original front fenders with G.M. N.O.S. that I purchased in 1985. The only repop sheet metal is the trunk lid and it fits nice and shuts great. All the stainless window trim is original and was polished on the front and rear plus the roof rail chrome. The fender well chrome as well as the SS 396 Fender emblems are N.O.S. The grill is the original grill but the chrome trim is repro and fits better than most. The tail light bezels are original and are in really nice shape. The rear bumper is an original OEM bumper that was rechromed but the front one is a repro and both are really nice. The car was originally Butternut Yellow with a black interior but I had it repainted with Dupont Chromabase Monaco Orange with Clear shot on top and installed the Parchment Interior.

The Parchment Interior came from Legendary and the quality surpasses their competition by a mile. The bucket seat foams were replaced as well. It also has a factory gauge package that was restored by Specialty Instruments. All the gauges and speedometer work and the clock keeps perfect time. Also has the optional stock radio plate when the radio would was not wanted. The dash bezel is new as well as the steering wheel. The console is an original one with a repro top bezel but all the rest of the parts and the shifter are OEM.

The engine sitting under the hood was rebuilt by "Ohio George Montgomery" in Dayton, Ohio. It is a 2 bolt main 454 which was bored out .030 and TRW 2465 F domed pistons were installed with the open chamber heads it has right around 9.8 to 1 compression so you can use pump gas. New ARP rod bolts installed and the crank was balanced after being turned .010 on the mains and rods. The camshaft is a Crane .533 .533 lift with 228 duration @ .050 lift with a 108 centerline. The cylinder heads are 049 casting open chamber heads that have had 2.19 intake valves and 1.88 exhaust valves with hardened seats installed and pocket ported by Dave Laird at Heads Up in Dayton, Ohio. Comp cams steel full roller rockers sit on top with 3/8" push rods. The oval port Wieand intake was port matched to the heads and the Q-Jet sitting on top was restored by Eric Jackson of Vintage Musclecar Parts. Distributor is a Petronix Billet Flame Thrower lll with a built in rev limiter set at 5600 rpms. The exhaust manifolds dump into Pypes stainless steel head pipes and they run into Thrush Welded Turbo mufflers then hits the mandrel bent Flowmaster tail pipes and exit out the stock big block exhaust extensions. The whole system is 2 1/2" all the way through. We ran the car on the dyno a couple runs and it made 340 hp at the rear wheels. The engine has 50-55 lbs of oil pressure when cold and when warmed up it has around 30-35 at idle.

Transmission is a Turbo 400 short shaft that was originally in a 1968 Impala. It has been gone through totally with everything new that could be put in. It shifts firm but not enough to destroy u-joints and it will bark the tires easily into 2nd gear when shifting manually. The original kickdown switch works as it should and it has a Hughe's 2500 stall converter that you don't even notice when driving. The 12 Bolt rearend has had a new Eaton Posi intstalled with a new 3.73 ring and pinion with Moser Axles with no wining or roaring going down the road.

The whole cooling system is new with a 4 row radiator, heater core, fan clutch. I have only used distilled water in the cooling system so it has never had tap water mixed with the anti-freeze.

The tail lamp, headlight and engine harnesses have all been replaced with M&H Fabricators stock replacement harnesses. The dash harness and fuse panel were restored as well.

The wheels are original 1969 14x7's SS wheels that have their original trim rings and centers. The tires are BF Goodrich T/A radials that are 245x60x14's that have about 3/4 of their tread left.

The front and rear glass have been replaced and side glass are the original pieces. They operate like they should. All the rubber seals have been replaced.

The power front disc brakes stop very well with new rotors, calipers, dust shields and bearings. All the braking system was new when installed as well as the brake lines from the Right Stuff all the way from the front to the rear including the power brake booster, master cylinder and the wheel cylinders on the rear.

I have put approximately 3300 miles on the car since the restoration process. The suspension is all new under the front including new coils springs and shocks all the way around. The rear control arms are boxed in with the stock G.M. sway bar attached to them.

Buyer is responsible for delivery costs or you could pick it up if your local in person. This car was not originally an SS but I could put it next to any other 69 SS and you would not know any better. I have been next to the real cars and they don't know the difference.

I don't want to sell this car but I am going to have to let her go. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
