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---

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
