1970 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed-----First things first-This car is a canadian built car-I have the canadian paperwork. This is a matching # car-Engine has never been out of the car-Gm of Canada verifies all #'s-Vin on block matches vin on car---I recently aquired this car-It was not running when I got it. It has not been driven since 1996-The previous owner has had it since 1975---This car will need a full resto-but like I said it is a documented matching # SS--As soon as I trailered it home we did some basic work to it and got it running. We changed the plugs,wires,cap, rotor,-changed the oil and filter-There was no gas in the car-it was bone dry which was a good thing. We put on new brakes and rotors and put a new battery in it. And the car fired right up-It actually runs very very good. Especially for a car that hasnt really run since 1996. I drove the car and it really runs good. Shifts through all the gears great and the clutch is good. Master cyl leaks so the brakes are a little squishy but it stops. Its losing fluid out the master. Now I will give the good and bad--We will start with the good--Its all matching #-including the 4 speed tranny and rear. The interior is in really nice shape-It is all original-the dash has no cracks. Has the full gauge pac-The original radio/8track is missing. The dash is uncut-It has the console and buckets-the driver seat is split on the seam. the others are great. Even the carpet is still good and its original. The car had alot of good options-f41handling,this is an original cranberry red car with black stripes,has the cowl hood,close ratio 4 speed,NK1steering wheel cushioned rim,full instrument panel with clock and tach,please see the build sheet for all the options,the SS wheels are in great shape as are the tires. It has the original spare and ss wheel in the trunk. Now the bad----The car spent the last 6 years outside-The trunk pan will need to be replaced. The frame and floors have no holes or rot but the are scaly-but can be wire brushed --There are no holes or anything-see the pics--My guess it will need fenders,door skinThe paint is old and is cracking-my guess its laquer---The roof and trunk have surface rust-see the pics-----I drove this car and it goes straight down the road-no pulling or veering --no rattles or clunks!!--The motor runs great but like I said depends on what you want to do with it--The car deserves a frame off resto--its almost imposible to find a matching # canadian built chevelle ss Im assuming it had a repaint in the 70's or 80's--But it is a true Cranberry Red Car!.--If you know chevelles then you know that a canadian built car is the on to have because of the documentation that is available--This auction is for a serious buyer looking for the right chevelle to restore--This is the one--
On Mar-29-13 at 16:01:58 PDT, seller added the following information:
I have had lots of e-mails about this car-My # is 607-377-4789---that is my cell phone. I will be away from my computer-Please call me with any questions you may have---

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
