This is a rare SS396/325 Chevelle, seems to be a special order car due to the paint code having a - - paint/trim code.  It is white but under trunk seems to have a little pearl in it?  Maybe a Buick color?  So you could paint it any 1968 color you want and not change the original value.  Special order cars in late 1967 could have any color from the GM line so who knows.  And the rare options of power windows, tilt and air make this SS unique. Power disc brakes are new and stop on a dime.  Rims are original to the car and date stamped.  Center caps are original and perfect, trim rings will need replacing but function as a driver.  Car is original to California as to why it is so clean and solid.

Whats done already:

All suspension, brakes, steering, rear-end, BB springs all replaced with HD versions, poly-graphite bushings,  front/rear sway bars. 
This car drives and handles better than factory.  Was a daily driver for me for over a year.  AC blows ice cold and everything works as it should.

The undercarriage is totally solid with absolutely no rust whatsoever. Floors and trunk are perfect. Frame is perfect.  Interior has new upholstery, carpet, dash pad, door panels.  Was originally bench seat car.  Has new vinyl top,  In the process of converting to bucket console car.  Have completely restored original tilt column and SS gauges (rolling tach) that go with the car.  These are very hard and expensive parts (1500.00 min) to get especially in this perfect NOS condition.  

The original numbers matching 396 is out of the car on a stand.  Prior owner says was rebuilt and stored.  Still has assembly lube on it.  Car came from an estate and the motor looks as if it was in storage for a while.  But it is the original, see pics.  I would still break it down and ck it out.  The only missing original running gear item is the TH400.  But the TH350 in the car is newly built to HD spec with shift kit etc... Rearend is the original correct 12 bolt.

The car currently has a 1967 327/275 and a rebuilt TH350 which runs flawlessly in all respects.  New 4 core BB radiator.  As stated above this car was driven daily from woodland hills to glendale for over a year and never had an issue.  No leaks, no overheating, no smoke just simply runs sweet.  Always fires right up no matter how long it has been sitting.  I will be happy to pull the small block and TH350 and adjust the selling price as agreed upon.

What it needs:

Obviously paint and some very minimal typical GM rust repair (2 small areas one in pass lower fender and pass rear 1/4) as seen in photos.  Console and headliner for interior.  Weather strip kit through out.  New front glass (crack),  A couple trim pieces.  Re-chrome front bumper.  And that's about all folks.  Email me if any questions and please come inspect and drive the car.  You will not be disappointed for the value here.  This is a 35k+ car when completed.

Unfortunately no build sheet, PoP was found or paperwork came with the car when I got it. 

I have too many cars/projects to complete this one at this point.  This is a perfect turn key driver to restore a little at a time while using it.  Need to finish my 68 Elco so this one needs to move on.

Chevrolet will preview electrified Silverado-like truck at CES 2021

Wed, Dec 30 2020

After abandoning its fight against California's lawmakers, General Motors is shifting its electrification offensive into high gear. CEO Mary Barra will give the opening keynote address at the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which will be held online, and Chevrolet will provide a peek at its electrified pickup during the event. Insiders familiar with the carmaker's plans told Bloomberg that Barra's address will highlight ways that electrification can improve the environment and society in general. General Motors president Mark Reuss will speak, too, and his remarks will be followed by a video that will highlight several future products, including what the sources referred to as "a plug-in Chevrolet pickup, some Cadillac models, and vehicles for other brands." These comments ask more questions than they answer, because plug-in means many things in this context. Chevrolet's electric Bolt is a plug-in vehicle, as is the upcoming GMC Hummer, but the plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe is one, too, and it's clearly not all-electric. It's often been assumed that Chevrolet's upcoming electrified truck will be electric, but it might arrive with a hybrid powertrain or a gasoline-powered range extender. Chevrolet could also follow Ford's lead and plant a stake in both the hybrid and the electric pickup segments. It's too early to tell if Chevrolet will unveil the same truck it previewed during a presentation earlier in 2020. Shown briefly, it wore a highly futuristic design that gave it a sleeker look than the current-generation Silverado. Cadillac's presentation promises to be interesting, because the company hinted it might abandon gasoline entirely by 2025, several years earlier than expected, even though its dealers aren't all on board with the shift. Going electric-only in about four years would force the brand to conduct a massive overhaul of its range. As of writing, there is not a single electric Cadillac in showrooms, but the Lyriq will arrive in late 2022 as a 2023 model. It's difficult to tell what's in store for other brands, but there are several cars that General Motors could show during CES. Buick doesn't sell an electric car in the United States yet, for example. Alternatively, GMC is working on an SUV variant of the Hummer, and it has started developing an electric truck. Going back to Chevrolet, our crystal ball tells us we'll see more of the 2022 Bolt EUV during the next edition of the tech show, too.

Recharge Wrap-up: Long Beach ePrix, London's new electric buses

Tue, Jul 21 2015

London will put 51 new electric buses into service. With the addition of these buses, two more routes (in addition to one already in operation) will be all-electric. Transport for London plans to have all of central London's 300 single-decker buses running on electricity or hydrogen by 2020. "The expansion of London's electric bus fleet demonstrates our commitment to reducing emissions from public transport in London," says Deputy Mayor of London for Environment and Energy, Matthew Pencharz. "The Ultra Low Emission Zone that will be introduced in 2020 is the most ambitious measure of its kind taken to tackle air pollution anywhere in the world, and it will transform our bus fleet into a cleaner, greener and more pleasant way of travelling for Londoners." Read more from Transport for London, and from Green Car Congress. The Chevrolet Volt is subject to a tie-rod recall. Along with 10 Cruze vehicles, one 2015 Volt has been recalled because of a tie rod that might not have been tightened to the steering gear correctly, which could lead to a loss of steering control. Chevrolet will replace the steering gear assembly, supplied by Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, for free. There have been no reported injuries from this issue. Read more at Detroit News. The Formula E Long Beach ePrix will take place on April 2, 2016. For the second season of the electric racing series, Long Beach is the only confirmed US host, as the spot on the calendar previously held by Miami still remains to be determined. More than 20,000 fans attended the inaugural Long Beach ePrix earlier this year, where Nelson Piquet, Jr. took first place before going on to win the Drivers' Championship. "It's extremely exciting to welcome the ePrix back to Long Beach for a second year," says Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia, "and we are hopeful that this demonstration of innovation, sustainability, and cutting edge technology will return to our city year after year." Read more in the press release below. Related Video: LONG BEACH ePRIX TO RETURN APRIL 2, 2016 (July 14, 2015) – The Long Beach ePrix will return to the city streets on Saturday, April 2, 2016. The FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) World Motor Sport Council recently approved the calendar for the second season of the FIA Formula E Championship, with Long Beach scheduled as the sixth of 11 rounds in the series. Overall, 10 venues will host Formula E events, with the 2015-16 season beginning once again in Beijing on Oct. 17.
