1968 CHEVELLE SS 396
100% Original / Great Investment / RARE

Simply put, this is the real deal.  Great investment potential considering this Chevelle SS is as original as one could possibly hope for.  Engine and transmission are original to the car (numbers matching).  All body panels, including the paint, are original to the car.  This car has never been restored or repainted.  That being said it's incredibly solid throughout with the exception of some rust in the trunk pan and the rust under the rear window where moisture had trapped underneath the vinyl roof.  Other than that she is rock solid and would not require a "frame off" restoration.  All body lines are straight as an arrow.  All glass is in fantastic shape with no cracks.  The interior is intact and in good shape considering the age but seats will need to be recovered.  All original SS badging is present and in good shape.  A new headliner and rear interior deck are included in the sale.

The car was last registered in 1989 in San Francisco.  I even have the 1989 vehicle registration and the license plate tags that were never used.  The original Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan / Warranty book with the Protect-O-Plate still attached to the back cover of the book !!!  Very rare to find a true "138" SS car with this documentation.  The original Owners Manual and misc service receipts (dating back to 1969) come with the car.

Mechanically everything is intact and original to the car.  The engine starts but runs rough.  Power steering works fine.  Newer BFGoodrich tires on Chevrolet Ralley Wheels.

NADA Classic Guides put the values at Low $16,560, AVG $36,240, HIGH $56,280.  Considering the crappy economy and the solid, original condition of the car I feel I'm pricing it very fair.  With a quality restoration this SS has everything it needs to become a high-end, documented investment.  In short, this is a very rare, very original, sweet example of American muscle.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.  Thanks and Good Luck !!

Chevy Bolt EV, Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Ridgeline take 2017 NACTOY prizes

Mon, Jan 9 2017

Every year the 2017 North American International Auto Show kicks off with the North American Car of the Year Awards. We say "awards" after all those mentions of our home continent because it's not just cars. This year, in fact, the awards spread out to three separate honors: Car, Truck, and Utility. And without further ado, here are the winners. The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the Car of the Year, the Honda Ridgeline is the Truck of the Year, and the Chrysler Pacifica is the Utility of the Year. Honda's win is perhaps the biggest surprise, upsetting favorite the Ford F Super Duty for the win. The second-generation Ridgeline rides on a unibody platform and is offered in front- or all-wheel-drive, which is unconventional for a pickup. But the layout also offers a cargo bed with an in-floor trunk and solid fuel economy figures of 19 city, 26 highway in its most-efficient form. The Chevy Bolt EV, however, was probably the easiest winner to predict. Its 238-mile range and sub-$30,000 starting price after tax credits make it a breakthrough in the landscape of electric vehicles. With the Chrysler Pacifica available in a plug-in hybrid form, this year's award illustrates the industry's shift towards efficiency and electrification. And with Ford's recent announcement on future EVs, it might not be long will it be until we see a hybrid truck on the award stage as well.Related Video:

GM offering factory-backed extended warranty for Chevys, GMCs, Buicks and Cadillacs

Mon, Oct 15 2018

Cars are generally more reliable than ever before. When things do go wrong, every automaker offers some form of factory warranty (in most cases at least three years and 36,000 miles, though many extend even longer), providing peace of mind to new-car buyers that many faults will be fixed at no charge to the customer. Starting today, GM is offering a new optional plan that will extend the factory warranty on all new Chevy, GMC, Buick and Cadillac products. In the past, extended warranties have been offered as dealer add-ons, with all profits from these sales going to the dealership. GM's new program can be viewed as another nail in the the looming dealership-model coffin. According to Automotive News, some dealers aren't happy to see GM cut into their business like this, saying that it helps GM far more than it does dealers. GM says the new program will help keep customers in the GM family. Customers are also more likely to visit a GM service center rather than going to an independent repair shop. Currently, new Chevy and GMC vehicles come with three-year/36,000-mile warranties. Buicks and Cadillacs are covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The new program extends Chevy and GMC warranties to five years or 60,000 miles. Buick and Cadillac warranties extend to six years or 70,000 miles. GM, citing IHS Markit, says most owners keep new cars for about 6.8 years, so these warranties will cover most of the length of their ownership. The extended warranty will add between $1,000 and $2,000 to the price of a vehicle, and the additional cost can be rolled into the vehicle's purchase or lease price. Unlike many dealer extensions, the factory program covers the vehicle no matter who owns it. That should help increase the car's resale value if it's sold within the covered timeframe. GM says there's no deductible and no need to file a claim form when getting warranty repairs. Additionally, dealerships can continue to sell their own extended warranties or service contracts.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
