1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Survivor
Matching numbers car with 325HP/396 engine, TH 400 transmission and 12 bolt rear end. Power steering and power brakes. Original Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. Cranks, runs and drives and stops great. 126,000 original miles. Special order paint, Carolina Blue.
Car was purchased in July 1969 in Statesville, NC and stayed there until 1993 or 1994. Moved to Georgia where it stayed until 1998 or 1999 when it moved to OH for 10 years where it was garage kept while waiting to be restored. The owners never got around to it and it was sold to an Alabama owner where it was garage kept for the last 5 years.
Car has never been apart so build sheet is still in car, but I have original dealer invoice, NC inspection sheets, protecto plate, owners' manual and one set of never used original keys on the dealer's keychain.
The car is a real survivor and almost completely original, including paint, bumpers, interior, tinted glass, trim and wheels (wheels have been restored). To my knowledge, only exhaust, radiator, brakes, belts, hoses, tires and air cleaner have been changed from original. I don't believe engine has ever been out of car. Original AM radio, heat, lights, wipers, signals, etc. all work great. All gauges appear to work properly. Fuel gauge started acting funny today but worked fine until now. Needs one headlight and a taillight bulb replaced.
It needs a headliner, the Chevelle emblem on front of car, a clip on driver's window handle, a small tear in the driver's headrest repaired and a new latch for glove box. Paint is not good but is original Carolina Blue special order (documented on invoice). Stainless is great. Wheel well molding trim is really good but has a couple of dings.
Car is remarkably solid and straight with only surface rust other than very small places in very bottom of rear quarters just behind rear tires, inside bottom rear corner of passenger door and inside driver corner of trunk lid. No bondo or other body damage that I can find. Bumpers are very straight but need rechromed. Underside of car has only surface rust. Car has plastic inner fenders that I was told were factory installed and they need a couple of epoxy patches.
Car is currently registered in Alabama and they don't title cars that old. I can sell via bill of sale and registration or have an open OH title.
Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early at any time. $500 deposit due via paypal within 24 hours of auction end. Balance due via wire or cashiers check within 5 days. Car should be picked up within 2 weeks of auction end unless prior arrangements are made.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
