Awesome 1969 chevelle ss 396 clone  project car-- easy to finish-- spent 90% of it life in california, bought new there, has califonia proteco-o-plate. I have had it for two years, and it is my baby. all the hard work done. New 468 Creat 454 big block, broke in but never driven. (bought this engine new ofrom an engine builder on ebay $3200.00 440 hp)New Summint Street/ Strip TH350 auto trans with new 3500 stall converter. Newly balance drive shaft with Brute force u-jionts. everything on the engine is new, polished intake, holley 750 double pumper carb, all new polished brackets, rebuilt power steering pump, cHrome water pump and pulleys,
chrome120amp alternator,HD Flex, flan, HD Aluminum radiator,energy motor mounts,and more. complete new front suspension, new disc Brake converstion with chrome booster/master cylinder,Ceramic coated headers, stainless hard brake lines, new chrome torque thrust II wheels,BFG RWL tires, All origonal body panels,never any rust other than some surface rust- all minor dents and panels were professional strightened, primed with urathane primer and HAND BLOCKED twice.  The car is Stright! The Car is ready for pain after sanding with 400gt. The car has been "cut-in" with code 72 dupont base/clear Hugger orange ( on of the paint options in 1969). Th paint only needs to be sprayed on the exterior panels.(Called "closed door" painting- much cheaper to get complted at a professional body shop). floor pans and trunk are awesome - underside has nvere been undercated and just has light surface rust. After painting I was planning to put in on a hoist and wire brush and paint it black- it is always hard to find one that does not have tons of the rubber undercoating sprayed all over from the factory.

The interrior is excellant- and is still the origonal light gree. I was planning on dying it satin black( SEM makes top quality spray cans ) rather than Buying JUNK repop interrior pieces.( door panels never fit correctly) dying when done right will last forever. Any nothing fits lit the factory parts!  all the stainless and trim is excellant except for the two trim pieced below the trunk that have been dented beyond exceptable use.  It included a repo SS hood that has has the underside preped and painted- top is in EDP Primer. Also included is origonal hood. All glass is good, al rollup and down as the should, everything works except fuel  guage. even the key buzzer still works.  The car was all origional and complete whern i purchesed it- never modified or taked apart-- this can has been a true pleasure to work on. All parts  like bumoers ( good condition), trim, interrior, moldings (other than below trunk) are included.  I alos am including several other new parts purchased for the car- emblemx, weatherstrip, kit, grill (origional one is still good and included). i am also includnid a new low profile polished intake. the intake currently on the car is a taller that most and will require a low profile air cleaner to fit under the hood. I had not decided if I wanted to swap intakes, or run a low air cleaner or possibly modify the hood brace. I will  let the new owner decide his or her coures of action on this.

The car Startes and moves ad stops ( brake kit fully installed, bleed and functional)- but I has not driven it other than up and down the driveway for operational checks as the allignment needs to be done ASAP, before driving it far, as it has a new front suspension. The car also has a complete new Vinly top installed professionally and all vinyl top trim.

The new owner should replace some of the origional pieces with new for show quality look, lie tail light trim, door handles, mirrors, ect. all the origionals are included but the chrome finished has pitted over the years.

 

this is a great chance to STEAL an origional califirnia NO RUST SS396 Clone for tons less that one that is finished-- ALL the hard stuff is done!

feel free to email or call me with any questions-- see my feedback-- I sold over 10 Chevelles, Novas, and Harleys on Ebay over the last 5 years with all happy customers.  All cars and bikes I have sold have been mine. I donr sell for others so I know everything there is to know about each vehicle I list.

NO RESERVE!!!

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As 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.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
