1969 Chevelle SS 502 Big block. For more pictures see my Photobucket page: http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/rlewisone/library/
For sale is my 1969 Chevelle SS, I have this car for over 20 years. It came originally out of Florida in 1985.
This car has not been painted or had anybody work done since before 1985 and is just now starting to show some bubbling on 1 lower fender and 1 lower quarter. This also was a vinyl top car so it has had some rust repair done below the rear window that needs some attention. Car also has its share of scratches and nicks on it from the past 25 years. Underneath the car is rock solid, it has been completely sand blasted and painted with POR 15. Frame also is perfect. At one time I had a roll cage in it so there has been some floor repair but it was not from rust.
Almost all of the chrome has been re-chromed, polished or replaced. Door, trunk seals window seals and body bushings have all been replaced. The interior has completely been redone from rug to headliner. New seat foams, rebuilt heater core box and new SS wheel just to name a few of the items. With the exception of the aftermarket gauges and the Hurst shifter in the stock console the interior is stock and looks 100% As you can see in the pictures the intake used is way too high to use the stock SS hood but I do have an original one (red in color) that goes with the car.
The engine is a Gen 5, 502 cubic inch block. I bought just the new short block in the crate from my local Chevy dealer and built it from there. All the machine/assembly and test fire was done at the premier hi-po engine builder “Boucher Racing Engines” in Rowley, MA. They started by tearing it down and checking the line bore and deck heights. All the stock stainless rings were dumped in favor of moly rings and a Melling oil pump was installed. Next came angle milling the Brodix “Big Brodie” heads to achieve the desired 10.1-1 compression along with installing the Comp can solid roller camshaft and port matched Brodix intake with a Holley 850 CFM carb. Engine was test run and tuned in-shop before being installed in the car. These build specs and choice of parts was designed by Boucher’s after a previous very similar engine that made 602 dyno horsepower but with a slightly different cam and carb. I was assured my engine would be 550+ horsepower. The engine installation wash finished up with a custom Hitachi high torque mini starter, hooker super comp 2 1/2 ” primary headers, MSD 7AL ignition (hidden behind the firewall) single wire alternator, custom 4 row radiator and all fuel is run in braided lines and AN fitting from the electric fuel pump to the Barry Grant pressure regulator.
The rearend is from a 1966 Chevelle. (overall its 1” narrower than a 1969) It was completely sand blasted, check for straightness and all reinforced welding done. It was rebuilt with a Moroso brute strength posi unit and Richmond 4.10 gears and Mark Williams hardened axles with C clip eliminators and 1/2 lug nut studs. The upper control arms were custom boxed and the lowers were replaced with South Side machine ladder bars. The rearend is bulletproof.
The transmission is the VIN matching turbo 400 that was rebuilt with a Fairbanks shift kit a new hardened output shaft and a TCI 2500 stall converter. The driveshaft is a custom made Denny’s 1330 series unit that is warranted to withstand 700 horsepower.
I’m sure I have left out tons of info so feel free to call or e-mail me at rlewisone@comcast.net or at 781-233-8341

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy'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.
