Frame off 1970 SS 454 Chevelle convertible project..I've owned this car for 30 plus years.The car was sold new at Schonlaw Chevrolet in Hollywood California in May of 1970.The trim tag is missing but the car was originally red on the exterior with pearl white bucket seat interior.
I have restored many car over the years and have just to many projects right now. I have decided to put this car up for sale at this time. The frame was completely disassembled ,sand blasted and all parts were repainted in detail.When I bought it I was told it was a LS5 car. The car does not have any papers to prove the LS5 option but does appear to be a real SS car. It has all the correct OEM F41 SS suspension. Original rear sway bar and boxed lower trailing arms. Original SS Big Block front springs and sway bar. Factory disc brakes and F41 lower A Arms. The engine is a 1970 3963512 block with the correct 3964290 LS5 heads .The engine was running when I bought the car but I removed the top end and was going to rebuild it. The transmission is a M21 and works fine.It does have a nice clean 12 bolt rear end but not original to the car. The wheels have been blasted and repainted correctly with new caps, rings and lug nuts.Tires are not brand new but but nice. The complete floors were replaced with a 1 piece floor including the rockers all the way from the firewall to the back bumper. Both quarters were replaced as well as the inner wheel houses. The front fenders and hood are also brand new..The doors are OEM rust free originals. I do have a lot of small parts that go with the car. Included in the sale is. All side glass. Nice 4 core radiator Complete 512 long block LS5 engine Bell housing w/clutch and pressure plate Original SS dash wiring Complete convertible top frame.(needs top front header bow, sold new) M21 transmission Windshield trim and rear pinch trim. Front bumper is a fresh rechromed OEM bumper. Back bumper is a older rechromed original but very nice yet. I'm sure there a few thing I have forgotten to mention that go with . This car is in the stages that you could paint it any color or build it anyway you want it. When I get a car to this point and after the body is painted and set on the frame with the engine mounted in the frame, it takes me 2 weeks by myself to have it reassembled and driving down the road.| My reserve is way less than what I have into the car. You can email with any questions. Auction ends Monday evening the 15th On Sep-10-14 at 18:19:18 PDT, seller added the following information: Somebody mentioned the car cant be a SS because it doesn't have the Big Block steering shaft in the picture so I added the picture of the Big Block Shaft I removed off the car. |

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not 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.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
