1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Ss on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
I acquired this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 in 2018 and proceeded to turn it into a RestoMod
with new performance equipment installed throughout 2018-2020. I fitted it with a BluePrint Engines 509ci V8
equipped with a FiTech Go EFI 4 self-tuning fuel injection system, MSD ignition, Billet Specialties serpentine
conversion pulley kit and Doug Thorley headers with a Pypes stainless steel exhaust system. A TCI Street Fighter
700R4 automatic transmission was also installed along with rebuilding the 12-bolt rear end adding a Detroit
Truetrac limited-slip differential, hydraulically-assisted Wilwood disc brakes, adjustable coilover suspension and
power steering. The car is finished in black over a black interior with power-adjustable Recaro seats, a show car
Hi-Res sound system, alarm system, power locks, back-up camera and LED lighting.
The car came finished in Tuxedo Black (10) from the factory and was repainted during previous ownership. Features
include Dapper Lighting 575 Halo HDR/Switchback LED projector headlamps, chrome bumpers, SS396 badging and a Rydeen
Ulta Low Illumination HD CMOS III back-up camera with parking lines.
14″ Super Sport wheels are mounted with 225/70 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires that were installed in 2018. A
Classic Performance Street Beast hydraulic brake assist kit was added along with Wilwood disc brakes with drilled
and slotted rotors at all four corners. A Delphi 14:1 ratio power steering gearbox has also been fitted and the
suspension is the complete Global West Suspension's system that includes coilovers with Viking double-adjustable
shocks, sway bar, control arms with Del-A-Lum bushings, frame supports, anti-bump steer knuckle arms and adjustable
tubular tie rod sleeves.
Originally trimmed in red, the cabin has been reupholstered in black and features new power-adjustable leather
Recaro Orthoped seats bought and installed in 2018 along with custom-fabricated a-pillars, kick-panels, center
console, deck lid blow-through, sub enclosure and finished trunk. Soundskins sound deadening was added to the
entirety of the interior and trunk. Additional amenities include an auto-dimming mirror with a back-up camera
display, Chevelle SS-script floor mats, power door locks, billet switches that operate the high beams, door locks
and speaker illumination... and an iDatalink security system with Shock Sensor, Siren, LED, Hood Pin and Trunk Pin
alarms. The sound system was also installed in 2018 and incorporates the following components:
Sony RSXGS9 Hi-Res digital media receiver
Audison bit One HD Digital Audio Processor w/DRCMP
Five Audison VOCE amplifiers totaling 3,580 watts
AudioQuest parallel RCA and fiber optic wiring for analog and digital connectivity
Eight Morel Elate Titanium speakers
Two JL Audio W6 subwoofers
AutoMeter gauges have been installed in the custom console. The five-digit odometer shows just under 80k miles,
approximately 12k of which I added... with around 9,000 miles driven on the new engine. Total mileage is unknown.
Decoding the body tag reveals the following information:
The engine has a dyno graph from Blueprint Engines showing a maximum output of 658 horsepower and 614 lb-ft of
torque. It was installed in 2019 and is still under the 30 month 50,000 mile transferrable warranty from BluePrint

Chevy Express, GMC Savanna reportedly ending production for 2025
Sat, Jul 2 2022The oldest commercial vans on the market may only have a few years left, according to a report from Autoweek. The news outlet cited a "competitive analysis source" in saying that the Chevy Express and GMC Savanna commercial vans would be discontinued after the 2025 model year. They would then be replaced by a new electric van, likely Ultium-platform based, for the 2026 model year. We reached out to GM for comment, and this is the official statement sent to us: "We have said in the past that as part of GM’s larger EV acceleration plans that we will add two new vehicles to our commercial portfolio. The first is a full-sized battery electric cargo van and the second is a medium-duty truck that will put both Ultium and our Hydrotec hydrogen fuel cell technology to work. We have not disclosed timing, names or shared any other details, so any articles reporting more are purely speculative." The GM vans are mighty old, having been introduced for the 1996 model year. They've barely changed since then, having received just some facelifts and updated powertrains over the years. And with GM's electrification plans, we're not surprised that these vans will be on the way out. We do have some disagreement about the reported timeline for replacement, though. We suspect that the upcoming electric vans will overlap with the old vans for at least a year. The reason being that there are a lot of these vans on the road, and there are a lot of pieces of equipment that fit them. Box vans, buses and more have components that have been designed for the Express and Savanna. If you're a fleet that has invested in these components, you might not be ready to shift over to a whole new platform. So GM will probably want to give fleet buyers one last opportunity to replace any old vans before committing entirely to a new electric van platform. It will also be interesting to see what kind of market the GM electric vans enter. Ford already has its electric Transit on the way, and Stellantis will be launching the Ram ProMaster electric van next year. Those are both based on existing gas-powered vans. And GM itself has already delivered the first of its larger BrightDrop EV600 electric vans to FedEx. The coming GM vans will likely be new platforms, which could give them performance and range advantages, though the Ford and Stellantis vans will have the advantage of being compatible with equipment for the gas variants.
Updated Chevy Silverado spied, possibly with aluminum components
Sat, Apr 11 2015Chevrolet is readying a refresh for its trusty Silverado pickup, and these spy shots give us our first glimpse at what might be in store. The front and rear fascias of this prototype are covered, obscuring some styling tweaks (with LED accents up front). More interestingly, our spies suggest that many of the Silverado's body components could move to aluminum with this mid-cycle update. The hood will go from steel to the lighter alloy, and it's possible the front fenders could benefit from the weight-saving material, too. Ford's latest F-150 is extremely aluminum-intensive, and by switching the construction, 700 pounds was trimmed off the truck's weight. We've already heard that General Motors is working with a similar plan for its next-generation fullsize trucks. Beyond that, expect the smaller 5.3-liter V8 to ditch its six-speed automatic transmission in favor of the eight-speed unit that's already mated to the larger, 6.2-liter V8. Neither transmission will stick around very long, as the trucks will likely adopt a 10-speed automatic around 2017. Look for the updated Silverado to debut later this year, likely as a 2016.5 model.
