     Thanks for looking at our listing for a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport. This SS has an interesting story, it was in storage most of the last 23 years being driven only 1,500 miles during that time. Currently the odometer shows only 37,158 miles (milage may increase slightly due to test drives), and the milage is stated as actual on the title. The SS has a few options you don't see every day, it features a functioning Cowl Induction Hood, has the LS package (front and rear sway bars), In Dash Tach and Clock, and Tilt Steering Wheel. This Super Sport still has the correct original 14" Steel Rallye Wheels with White Lettered tires. This is a RARE color combination Chevelle Super Sport with white exterior and Saddle interior.

     The engine in the SS is a "non-numbers" matching engine. The numbers on the block are CE167289, which make it a Chevrolet "over the counter" replacement block. The transmission is a automatic Turbo 400, and the rear end is a 12 bolt. The mechanics of the car are good and other than needing new tires (they are weather checked from storage) could be driven anywhere. Here is what was done to the SS since being taken out of storage. The heater core was replaces along with the hoses, new exhaust gaskets, new points, plugs, and wires, and the 4 Barrel Carburetor was completely rebuilt.

     The Chevelle SS 396 has had one repaint (in laquer) and is in presentable condition, but it going to need an exterior restoration. Both rear quarters have some rust (see pics) above the wheel wells (normal to all Chevelle's) and will need patch panels. Also, there is a small spot of rust on the right front fender (see pics) where it meets the door. Underneath the doors are very good (see pic). The laquer paint is weather checking which is also normal to laquer paint. Other than that the body is in good condition for a 44 year old car. The underneath of the SS is in suprisingly good condition showing no rust in the floor pans or trunk area and still has the original GM undercoating from the fractory.

     This Super Sport has the Bucket Seat option with center console and horse shoe automatic shifter, and again the in dash tach and clock (not working). The headliner has been replaced and the rest of the interior is very presentable and depending on your standards could be used in present form.

     Here is a opportunity to purchase a RARE color and optioned Chevelle Super Sport with low milage that is in it's original unmolsted condition. Again, this SS will need at least a exterior restoration. Mechanically the car is good and the interior is good. This is NOT a Show Car, but could certainly be driven in present form and the price reflects the work the car needs.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
