For Sale is my 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle two door coupe. I purchased this vehicle in December of 2004 in Georgia and drove it home to Virginia to begin the restoration process. The vehicle has SS badging and correct 1968 SS stripes but is not an original SS. I would describe this vehicle as more of a pro touring style restoration. It is first and foremost a driver but has won several awards at local car shows here in Central Virginia. The car is garage kept and has only seen rain when I got caught out in it. The car is sorted out mechanically and only needs a few minor interior and chrome pieces to be finished. I will be putting new front and rear bumpers with new mounting hardware and lenses on in the next week or so. This vehicle is not perfect but I did not restore it to be a trailer queen. I wanted something I could drive and enjoy along with showing it at local car shows. Below is a summary of the work done to the vehicle but does not cover all upgrades. I would venture to guess that you could not restore this car for what my reserve is set at.
- Dec 2004: New KYB front shocks installed
- Dec 2004: Four new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires installed
- Dec 2004: Front suspension rebuilt with Polygraphite Super Kit and new sway bar bushings (both from PST)

- Feb 2005: New power steering box installed

- April 2005: New Cragar Street Pro 390 wheels mounted from Newstalgia Wheel
- May 2005: Car was taken to bare metal and resprayed in new red paint color (call me and I will provide details as to everything that was done)
- Mar 2006: New Flowmaster exhaust system installed (complete system with H-pipe)
- April 2006: New Eaton posi traction rear installed (3.73 gears)
- April 2006: New KYB rear shocks installed
- June 2006: New big block oil pan and gasket intalled from OPG
- Oct 2006: New ceramic coated Hedman headers installed
- Jan 2007: Engine completely rebuilt (again, call me and I will provide further details)
- Mar 2007: New front light and engine harness installed
- Mar 2007: All new Autometer gauges and carbon fiber gauge panel installed (from Covans Classics)
- April 2007: New 7 inch dual brake booster installed
There are many other smaller items that have been added to this car and I have a 1 1/2 inch thick binder with most receipts of everything done or purchased for this vehicle. Included in the sale is a spare hood, hood springs, center console, new dash switches, and a few other items that are hiding in my garage. Again, this is not a trailer queen but rather a very nicely restored 1968 Chevelle that you can get in and enjoy. I have a clear title for this vehicle and will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Call Steve at (434) 566-1455 anytime.
This car is sold as is with no implied warranty. Shipping or pick up is the responsibility of the buyer but I will help any way I can. A $1000 deposit is required within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The remainder is due within 7 days. Cash or bank transfer is preferred. If paying by bank transfer, I will sign the title over once the funds have cleared and are in my account. I can keep the vehicle in my garage for you as you arrange pickup. Please call if you have any questions. This really is a nice car that only needs a few minor things to be finished (in my opinion). Thanks for looking.

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
