This car was completed approximately five years ago, but has only been driven about 100 miles since. The car came out of Texas and was not in that bad of shape to start with, I have included some pictures of the car in its original condition. I have also included a couple pics of the car being restored. I have 40 or so photos of that process, that will be included with the sale of the car.
BODY : The body was soda stripped, see pics. As you can tell this was a very solid car. The stripping, body work, and paint work was done professionally. Quarter Panels and Fenders are new. The Wheel Houses are original. It was painted GM Color Code 75 ( Fire Red ). Base Coat / Clear Coat. This paint looks fantastic! The only flaw is a chip along the edge of the hood, where it meets the fender. The hood must have rubbed. I am in the process of getting some touch up and will include it with the car. The bumpers are the originals and have been re-chromed ( look great ). The handles and other chrome is average. Rocker moldings are not on the car. The underside and frame was also painted, see pics.
INTERIOR : All new, Looks Perfect! I have nothing negative to report on this interior. Please notice there are aftermarket gauges.
ENGINE : 396 with a Mild Cam. It was rebuilt at the time of the resto. It has never been on a Dyno, so I do not have any horsepower numbers to report. Runs Out strong and FAST!! Serpentine Belt System. The A/C has never been charged since the resto.
WHEELS : SS Wheels with New BFG Tires.
This is your chance to own a VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN MUSCLE!! There is over 40 Grand invested in this car. You could never come close to building one yourself, for the Buy it Now Price. There a couple of minor things left to do : The cowl induction hood was never hooked up, all the parts are here. Also, the Odometer and Speedometer are not working because the cable was never installed ( I do have the parts )
TERMS : This is a private party transaction. Clear title in hand. $1,000.00 Deposit Thru Paypal Only, within 24 hours of auction close. Cash is accepted or a bank check for the balance. Balance must be received within 3 days of auction close. All Checks need time to clear, before vehicle will be released. These are the ONLY terms that will be accepted. Thank You.
TRADES : Not interested in any high dollar amount trades, but if you are a few grand short, I would consider something that is worth $5,000.00 or less.
I believe I have told you everything I know about this car, but if you have questions, please call me at 708.927.9990 ( Tim )
THANKS!

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
