Awesome 1969 chevelle ss 396 clone  project car-- easy to finish-- spent 90% of it life in california, bought new there, has califonia proteco-o-plate. I have had it for two years, and it is my baby. all the hard work done. New 468 Creat 454 big block, broke in but never driven. (bought this engine new ofrom an engine builder on ebay $3200.00 440 hp)New Summint Street/ Strip TH350 auto trans with new 3500 stall converter. Newly balance drive shaft with Brute force u-jionts. everything on the engine is new, polished intake, holley 750 double pumper carb, all new polished brackets, rebuilt power steering pump, cHrome water pump and pulleys,
chrome120amp alternator,HD Flex, flan, HD Aluminum radiator,energy motor mounts,and more. complete new front suspension, new disc Brake converstion with chrome booster/master cylinder,Ceramic coated headers, stainless hard brake lines, new chrome torque thrust II wheels,BFG RWL tires, All origonal body panels,never any rust other than some surface rust- all minor dents and panels were professional strightened, primed with urathane primer and HAND BLOCKED twice.  The car is Stright! The Car is ready for pain after sanding with 400gt. The car has been "cut-in" with code 72 dupont base/clear Hugger orange ( on of the paint options in 1969). Th paint only needs to be sprayed on the exterior panels.(Called "closed door" painting- much cheaper to get complted at a professional body shop). floor pans and trunk are awesome - underside has nvere been undercated and just has light surface rust. After painting I was planning to put in on a hoist and wire brush and paint it black- it is always hard to find one that does not have tons of the rubber undercoating sprayed all over from the factory.

The interrior is excellant- and is still the origonal light gree. I was planning on dying it satin black( SEM makes top quality spray cans ) rather than Buying JUNK repop interrior pieces.( door panels never fit correctly) dying when done right will last forever. Any nothing fits lit the factory parts!  all the stainless and trim is excellant except for the two trim pieced below the trunk that have been dented beyond exceptable use.  It included a repo SS hood that has has the underside preped and painted- top is in EDP Primer. Also included is origonal hood. All glass is good, al rollup and down as the should, everything works except fuel  guage. even the key buzzer still works.  The car was all origional and complete whern i purchesed it- never modified or taked apart-- this can has been a true pleasure to work on. All parts  like bumoers ( good condition), trim, interrior, moldings (other than below trunk) are included.  I alos am including several other new parts purchased for the car- emblemx, weatherstrip, kit, grill (origional one is still good and included). i am also includnid a new low profile polished intake. the intake currently on the car is a taller that most and will require a low profile air cleaner to fit under the hood. I had not decided if I wanted to swap intakes, or run a low air cleaner or possibly modify the hood brace. I will  let the new owner decide his or her coures of action on this.

The car Startes and moves ad stops ( brake kit fully installed, bleed and functional)- but I has not driven it other than up and down the driveway for operational checks as the allignment needs to be done ASAP, before driving it far, as it has a new front suspension. The car also has a complete new Vinly top installed professionally and all vinyl top trim.

The new owner should replace some of the origional pieces with new for show quality look, lie tail light trim, door handles, mirrors, ect. all the origionals are included but the chrome finished has pitted over the years.

 

this is a great chance to STEAL an origional califirnia NO RUST SS396 Clone for tons less that one that is finished-- ALL the hard stuff is done!

feel free to email or call me with any questions-- see my feedback-- I sold over 10 Chevelles, Novas, and Harleys on Ebay over the last 5 years with all happy customers.  All cars and bikes I have sold have been mine. I donr sell for others so I know everything there is to know about each vehicle I list.

NO RESERVE!!!

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
