This 1970 Big Block 396 Super Sport Chevelle only has 36,000 ACTUAL miles on it. It had previously spent its last 23 years in storage and only driven around 1,500 miles. It spent the last 9 years sitting in a shed and not being moved or started. As a result it has survived tremendously despite spending its entire life in the Northern Midwest. The undercarriage of this Muscle Car still has the Original General Motors Undercoating it received just before it left the factory (see pictures below, click here for the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoJ_fKQHnOg). This is nearly unheard of on a vehicle that is 43 years old and unrestored.
 
It is an unrestored 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Big Block 396 with 36,000 miles on it....where are you going to find that? This is a true Big Block Super Sport and although there is no way to decode them it has all of the tell tail signs. The rear trailing arms that attach to the 12 bolt are blocked off and strengthened, only found on a SS. The rearend is a 12 bolt, standard on the SS. The dash has the Rally Gauges, only found on a SS. The door panel trim does not go straight across but has the hump design, only found on a SS. It has a functioning Cowl Induction hood. Don't be fooled by all of the Cloned SS's out in the market today. There are signs if you know what to look for. An original 10 10 771 car (White Exterior with Saddle Interior) which is rare along with the additional Tilt Steering that was nearly unheard of in 1970. It was also built with the LS package containing both front and rear sway bars. Unlike most surviving SS's it still has its original 12 bolt rear end and Turbo 400 transmission. Center console with Horse Shoe shifter and AM Radio. This car has the In-Dash Tach and Clock. The Functional Cowl Induction hood that only came in 1970 is not only there but works perfectly.

Bringing this car back to life took very little. The Head Liner needed replaced and the center console was completely trashed. A head liner was installed and the center console was torn down and re-done. The entire car was buffed and cleaned up. The Heater Core was replaced along with all the hoses. The vehicles starter was replaced along with new plugs, wires, points, condensor and rotor. The 4 Barrel carburetor was completely reworked and a new carb kit and float kit were installed. The exhaust gaskets were replaced. New Headlights were installed along with new Hood Pins. The entire vehicle was completely cleaned up from the inside out. All of the interior was torn out of it including seats, headliner, carpet and dash were pulled and cleaned.

The rally SS wheels were replaced by a set of new Boss rims, 20 X 10's on the rear and 18 X 8's on the front. Running on 245/40/18's and 275/40/20's these rims and tires give it the perfect look. Still using all of its original  suspension without any alterations these wheels and tires fit perfect and allow it to be put back completely to original without any effects. I am selling the vehicle with the BOSS rims however the original Super Sport Rims and tires are availible for this car for an additional $800.

I drove this car 175+ miles to the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company Auction in Pierce NE on September 28, 2013 and drove it home. With this auction I am including my bidders badge and number from the Lambrecht Auction as well as an official bill of sale from VanDerBrink Auctions on the Lambrecht Chevrolet Company Auction "A time capsule of automotive History".  I was there at the Lambrecht Auction and watched their 1969 SS 396 Chevelle sell (http://blogs.hotrod.com/read-all-about-the-lambrecht-chevrolet-auction-at-hot-rod-83315.html/lambrecht-vanderbrink-chevrolet-1969-chevelle-ss396/#axzz2ilmp0Tv4). Their car had 74,000 miles on it, had a tree fall on it and blow out the windows then it sat outside for nearly 5 years, had rust all over the quarters and the trunk was gone, the motor was stuck and the roof was caved in. I watched this car that was almost beyond repair bring $27,000 (http://www.ktiv.com/story/23539928/2013/09/26/lambrecht-auto-auction-in-pierce-nebraska-is-set-to-begin). The car you are looking at runs and drives with only 36,000 actual miles on it. Compare that to their 69 with 74,000 and you need a fork lift to move it. My wife drove this car and put 300 miles on it during a poker run. There simply is no comparison between the two vehicles. Mine is in WAY better condition, is driveable, and can be enjoyed right now.  

The 1970 Chevelle Super Sport Big Block is one of the most desired Classic Cars ever built. Check out the valuation tool at Hagerty Insurance http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=1379529 it shows the lowest value for a SS 396 #4 car at $32,000. A #3 car is $40,000 and a #1 is $67,800. This is not a #1 and is also not a #4 car either. This is a great value!

2016 Chevy Camaro leaked on CNBC

Fri, May 15 2015

It seemed inevitable. Eventually some outlet would get access to fully uncovered pictures of the sixth-generation 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and let them loose early. Embargoes break. All. The. Time. And for this round, credit goes to CNBC's Squawk Box. The program, according to the GM Inside News forums, had been talking about the new Camaro "all morning," when it dropped a trio of images of the new muscle car. Consider this, then, our first full look at the 2016 Camaro, a car we detailed extensively earlier this morning. In general, the leaked images confirm much of what we discussed in that post regarding the car's looks – an evolved style, with a slim grille up front, a rounded tail, and a very short rear deck. Check out the leaked images, give our Camaro round-up a read, and strap in for tomorrow's big Camaro reveal.

GM might lose 90-year U.S. sales crown over chip shortage

Sat, Oct 2 2021

Automotive News editor Nick Bunkley tweeted on October 1 that according to AutoNews data, General Motors "has been the largest seller of vehicles in the U.S. every year since passing Ford in 1931." With automakers having turned in light car and truck sales data for the first three quarters of 2021, GM's 90-year-run might not reach 91. According to AN figures, Toyota was 80,401 vehicles ahead when the October workday started. Worse, GM is so far behind its historic pace that it might only sell enough light vehicles in the U.S. to match its numbers from 1958.  Meanwhile, the New York Times put a few more salient numbers to the pain GM and Toyota are enduring alongside the the rest of the industry. GM sold 33% fewer cars in Q3 2021 than it did in Q3 2019 during the dark days of the pandemic, 446,997 units this year as opposed to 665,192 last year. GM's Q3 2020 was only down 13% on Q3 2019. Over at Toyota, the bottom line showed a 1% gain in Q3 2021 compared to 2020, with 566,005 units moved off dealer lots. The finer numbers show two steps forward and one step back, though; Toyota's September sales were down 22% compared to last year.  GM remains optimistic about what's ahead, GM's president of North American operations telling the NYT, "We look forward to a more stable operating environment through the fall." We'd like to see that happen, but we don't know how it happens. The chip shortage said to have been the inciting incident for the current woes isn't over, and not only can no one agree when it will be over, the automakers, chip producers, and U.S. government still can't get on the same page about who needs what and when. Looking away from that for a second shows articles about "No End In Sight" for supply chain disruptions in early September, before China had to start working through power supply constraints, global supply chain workers started warning of a "system collapse," and roughly 500,000 containers sat waiting to be unloaded at Southern California ports — a record number seemingly broken every week. And back to chips, we're told just a few days ago the chip shortage is "worse than we thought."   For now, the NYT wrote that GM dealer inventory is down 40% from June to roughly 129,000 vehicles, and down 84% from the days when dealers would cumulatively keep about 800,000 light vehicles in stock. However, GM just announced it would have almost all of its U.S. facilities back online next week, although some would run at partial capacity.

Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
