This car will need a FULL resto. it's an orig SS 396 with 4spd Red with White stripes and Red interior. The orig frame cracked on both sides behind the front wheel wells and was replaced with a 68 frame. So it now has a 10 bolt posi with 308 gears and a Th400 in it that was in the 68 frame. There are no coolant lines for the trany and the driveshaft is in trunk. The motor Runs Great, no smoke or wierd noises, rebuilt Q-jet, HEI dist new plugs wire's cap and rotor. NO interior don't know what happen to it but it does have the factory mounts for the console and the bucket seats. It has p/s but pump is gone but i have the brackets. it has Power Front disc brakes and i put a rebuilt master on it but didn't bleed the brakes yet and i still have the orig Master (casting number 5468309) and it is stamped with (BA)the SS big Block code on it. It has full 3in exhaust with hooker comp header with 3 1/2in collector. i looked up the casting numbers 3969854 on block and they come up 69-71 396 350hp. the carb numbers 7029207-1494 come up 1969 also but the motor is Not the Orig one. car was last on the road in 1987. it has 72,110mi on it. big block car's tach Redline at 5500 as does this one and the wiring under the dash is Orig and not cut up as if someone put the tach in later. I dont have any documentationon on the car saying it's an SS. The car has been off the road since 1987 and they didn't make many repo parts back then and the SS trim on the dash looks to be Orig. if i had the Doc's i'd be asking alot more. it is what it is. the VIN is 136379G309321 and PLEASE don't email me and tell me a 136 is Not an SS. in 1969 they NO LONGER USED 138 as a code for an SS, do your homework. they were ALL 136's. it will need lower 1/4 panel's and the outter wheel well's on both side's. trunk has one very small spot of rust i used a Yellow grease pen to outline the rust in the pics. both door's have rust in the front bottom corner's i have a good driver's door. Two small rust spots on floor, again outlined in Yellow. One spot about 1in wide by 1 1/2in long in the top front rocker panel under the door. you have to open the right door and look down. It will need lower windshield panel replaced. dent in pass door but i'd replace it cause of rust anyway. lower right front fender was patched will need to be redone Below the bodyline. driver side is good. Hood has no dents or Rot just surface rust. roof just has surface rust and some small dents. Under back seat is rust free. back window looks good too. All the body mounts are rust free. New right hood hinge but no spring. The Grill is from a 68 but i have the 69 Grill.. I had a guy come look at it who has restored alot of 69's he didn't want it because of the lower 1/4's but he said he's 95% sure from what he saw it's an Orig SS. He also said ALL Malibu's had long molding going down from the Eyebrow all the way to the wheel well opening. The SS did not. and there are no holes filled where the Malibu's molding would be. if you look in OPG' catalog page 125 at bottom right of page the Malibu has the long molding SS does Not. Also same as for the back panel of the car. No hole's filled where the Malibu would be on the right side just the SS in the middle. I have to many pics to put up here so email me and i will send you all i have. Any Question let me know. thanks

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
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.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
