Genuine 1967 SS396 Super Sport Red/Red Chevelle Sun Dried Tomato
RELISTED. Buyer never provided deposit and did not have funds lined up to close.
You know you just don't find them like this. A Real 138 Super Sport Factory Air car with the factory grease pencil markings "13817" and other grease pencil numbers still on the firewall, unmolested. The overall Metal and frame condition of this Arizona SS is pretty exemplary of a very long life in this area. This is a real factory Bolero Red SS396 with matching Red interior.
Although Dry Arizona is kind in terms of lack of rust which is a really big thing, still, if left in the intense sun and heat, you have here what I call a "Sun Dried Tomato." Evidently, the owner did not have a carport and the hood, roof and truck paint is thinned beyond retrieval.
With just a paint job, you would have one gorgeous, appreciating, collectible 396 Super Sport. I don't have to tell you that these cars done, command some pretty mighty money.
Title-Clear Arizona title in my name.
Options Besides Super Sport options, notable options include the Factory Air Conditioning, Tilt Steering wheel, Power Steering, Push button Radio,, 12 bolt Posti traction and 3 speed Turbo 400 Automatic.
Body Condition The Body appears very straight with good fitment every where you look. I had my fabricator/ metal man go all over and under this car before I bought it as I wanted his expert opinion to validate what I thought was an unusually solid car. He was very impressed with the car and found one small hole in the passenger floor pan (which I still cannot find) he could easily fix and recommended we install new poly body mounts soon.
Pictures show the front floor pans, that appear to be the original factory pans with factory paint still on them.
Also check out the engine bay, the inner fenders, radiator support, cowl and firewall are truly in amazing condition. New factory dripper style valve covers and air cleaner with PCV and vent tube was installed to finish off a really nice factory looking engine bay.
Trunk floor is raw and unpainted with light surface rust so hiding nothing, dirty but looks solid and the old factory spatter paint still exists on the quarter panels. The original Jack is in the trunk. (pictures)
Importantly, frame and undercarriage look good. (pictures) The exhaust system appears newer from exhaust manifolds through mufflers. But tail pipes are missing so exhaust is obnoxiously loud. Personally, I would replace with some muscle car magnaflows.

Major Mechanical Condition This Super Sport appears to have about a 10 year old exterior paint job, otherwise leaving things mostly original. The engine appears to be a replacement with a 1969/70 396/325 (402) with correct GM factory exhaust manifolds and correct Rochester Quadrajet and Factory Air conditioning. It starts immediately and runs great with not a hint of smoke or blow by. I drove it in 100 degree heat and it ran cool and did not detonate when shut off and it runs on regular unleaded. Ignition has been upgraded to HEI electronics.
It flies straight at highway speeds and shifts very effortlessly without any hesitation or tranny or rear end noises or jerks. The former owner/restorer installed new Spider gears and a new positraction unit in the factory 12 bolt, as there was slack. No slack now, but there is a slight hum on acceleration.
A note about the Air Conditioning. Pretty much complete with a condenser missing ($250 new) However, All the really rare under and behind the dash parts, even the hoses to side vents are all there. I know how expensive it gets to replace multiple sections of the a/c duct system and pulling the dashboard out to install it all, not to mention the time spent sourcing used duct parts as i just had to do it on a 68 Chevelle. Front signal lights are missing from bumper.
Glass All the Glass is in good condition without the usual scratches and door windows roll up and down.
Chrome and Trim Chrome bumpers look quite good and trim is good driver
condition, but not show quality.
Interior Serviceable and driver quality, showing some age. The vinyl seat covers are good except the rear upper top most section under the window is sun damaged. A New dash cap, kick panels and red package shelf have recently been installed. Odometer works, but speedometer does not.
Wheels & Tires 15" GM Rally wheels in good condition with stainless beauty rims and nice two piece caps that are correct for this model year.
****Because I have this SS priced to sell, A note on the tires: they are Brand New BFG Radial TAs, just mounted yesterday and have only 10 miles on them. With Buy It Now, they go with the car BUT If the car sells for less than the Buy it now, the car comes with the same Rally wheels, caps and trim rings as shown but whitewall radial tires that have a lot of tread on them. Or buyer can pay $620 for the BFG T/As and have both sets of tires. *******
Why Selling? I have a rotisserie restoration on a 69 Big Block Z10 Camaro in process, and a 1968 SS396 El Camino and a 1965 396 SS Chevelle almost done and a 1968 RS/SS Camaro convert that is finished and so I will soon have 6 cars and a 4 car garage!
The last 3 cars I sold here on Ebay all sold at the Buy it Now Price, so I think I know where to price a car to sell. And check my feedback on those sales.
This is a driver as it sits and you can cruise around town
as a rat rod, just paint it or

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
