Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a chevelle you dont see very often. A Real deal fully documented SS 396 that was not restored. This car is fresh out of hibernation for 20+ years. Sold new out of Steve Ferrara Chevrolet in Penns Grove new jersey to David Arnold of Elsmere Delaware. He walked in on March 2nd and put down a 10 dollar deposit and came back the next day with the balance and his old 64 pontiac for trade. I have all the documentation to prove this along with the sales order,original protectoplate,cancelled checks and reciepts!!! Also have lots of reciepts from work he had done to it at the dealer later in its life.This car is also a canada built car so the SS option along with the 4 speed is on its original trim tag as you will see in the pics. It shows the Z25 option which is for the SS396 pkg and the M20 for the 4spd along with the bucket seats and console so The documentation is bulletproof. The car has its [BORN WITH] 396-350HP ENGINE [CTX] code along with the vin number on it and numbers matching from the 205 quadrajet to the [KF]331 positraction axle. drivetrain has never been apart or out of the car. It runs great and drives well even on 35 year old Goodyear polyglas tires. The clutch is chatter free and smooth and brakes are excellent. I drove it home 75 miles on the hiway is rush hour traffic and it drove great. Its a very tight feeling car. Everything works as it should and it didnt run hot and the tach works along with the am radio. It has one very old repaint and there is a little rust coming thru on the passenger quarter Panel but thats about it. It could really use a new paint job down the road but you can drive it way it is for now. Interior is completly original.Only 1 rip in the drivers seat outer bolster but i have another cover for it from another survivor car to keep it more authentic looking. The repro seat cover are horrible and the color is not correct so this is the way to keep it original in my book. Option are as follows, tinted glass,Bucket seats,Door edge guards,Center console,Positraction with 331 gears,M20 4speed trans,am radio,rear speaker,SS 396 Equipment and full instrumentation including the 5500 Redline tachometer. Car is ugly under the hood but it is a timecapsule and you can restore it to your likeing. Please call 267-246-6903 to set up an appointment to see and drive it first. call to talk and i will give you a walk around description before you bid to make sure its what you want. Thanks for looking.......I have more pics of the undercarriage and engine compartment and close ups of anything else you want to see.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 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.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
