1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
I acquired this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 in 2018 and proceeded to turn it into a RestoMod
with new performance equipment installed throughout 2018-2020. I fitted it with a BluePrint Engines 509ci V8
equipped with a FiTech Go EFI 4 self-tuning fuel injection system, MSD ignition, Billet Specialties serpentine
conversion pulley kit and Doug Thorley headers with a Pypes stainless steel exhaust system. A TCI Street Fighter
700R4 automatic transmission was also installed along with rebuilding the 12-bolt rear end adding a Detroit
Truetrac limited-slip differential, hydraulically-assisted Wilwood disc brakes, adjustable coilover suspension and
power steering. The car is finished in black over a black interior with power-adjustable Recaro seats, a show car
Hi-Res sound system, alarm system, power locks, back-up camera and LED lighting.
The car came finished in Tuxedo Black (10) from the factory and was repainted during previous ownership. Features
include Dapper Lighting 575 Halo HDR/Switchback LED projector headlamps, chrome bumpers, SS396 badging and a Rydeen
Ulta Low Illumination HD CMOS III back-up camera with parking lines.
14″ Super Sport wheels are mounted with 225/70 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires that were installed in 2018. A
Classic Performance Street Beast hydraulic brake assist kit was added along with Wilwood disc brakes with drilled
and slotted rotors at all four corners. A Delphi 14:1 ratio power steering gearbox has also been fitted and the
suspension is the complete Global West Suspension's system that includes coilovers with Viking double-adjustable
shocks, sway bar, control arms with Del-A-Lum bushings, frame supports, anti-bump steer knuckle arms and adjustable
tubular tie rod sleeves.
Originally trimmed in red, the cabin has been reupholstered in black and features new power-adjustable leather
Recaro Orthoped seats bought and installed in 2018 along with custom-fabricated a-pillars, kick-panels, center
console, deck lid blow-through, sub enclosure and finished trunk. Soundskins sound deadening was added to the
entirety of the interior and trunk. Additional amenities include an auto-dimming mirror with a back-up camera
display, Chevelle SS-script floor mats, power door locks, billet switches that operate the high beams, door locks
and speaker illumination... and an iDatalink security system with Shock Sensor, Siren, LED, Hood Pin and Trunk Pin
alarms. The sound system was also installed in 2018 and incorporates the following components:
Sony RSXGS9 Hi-Res digital media receiver
Audison bit One HD Digital Audio Processor w/DRCMP
Five Audison VOCE amplifiers totaling 3,580 watts
AudioQuest parallel RCA and fiber optic wiring for analog and digital connectivity
Eight Morel Elate Titanium speakers
Two JL Audio W6 subwoofers
AutoMeter gauges have been installed in the custom console. The five-digit odometer shows just under 80k miles,
approximately 12k of which I added... with around 9,000 miles driven on the new engine. Total mileage is unknown.
Decoding the body tag reveals the following information:
The engine has a dyno graph from Blueprint Engines showing a maximum output of 658 horsepower and 614 lb-ft of
torque. It was installed in 2019 and is still under the 30 month 50,000 mile transferrable warranty from BluePrint
and is fitted with the following equipment:
FiTech Go EFI 4 self-tuning fuel injection system
Aluminum fabricated air cleaner
Weiand Track Warrior intake manifold

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.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
