1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 138 VIN makes this car a true SS not a clone. Car was well optioned from the factory with power brakes, front disk brakes, roller tachometer, horseshoe shifter, front bucket seats and air conditioning. I had plans of doing the car up to keep for good, but life has gotten in the way and need a down payment for a house more than I need the car. That is the ONLY reason I am selling her. Have done a lot of work to her over the years.
She rides like new on a new set of front QA1 Coil Over Shocks, ball joints, and bearings. All this comes to a better stop with freshened brakes, new stainless steel brake lines all the way, new flex hoses for the factory front 4 piston disk brakes, new master cylinder, plumbed with fresh DOT 5 fluid.
The entire front clip, fire wall, bottom of hood, cowl drain, and frame has been treated to a few coats of POR 15 then a matte chassis black for several coats of protection. The fenders were painted inside while the inner fenders were out for further corrosion resistance. A new core support was installed as the original had corrosion due to a bad battery at some point. The new one was powder coated to match for durability. While the front clip was off replaced the left cowl panel and left cowl shoulder panel, these were the only corroded panels. Were put back in place with spot welds as the factory would have done. Front clip installed with a Front End Fastener Kit from 396SS.com.
The engine was treated to a fresh coat of Chevy Orange, Weiand Aluminum Intake, mild Comp Cams cam, Comp double roller timing set, Comp valve spring set, Comp roller tipped rocker arms for a slightly healthier demeanor. To feed the 454 a Fast EZ EFI 4 barrel 1000 CFM throttle barrel sets on top the new intake. The kit comes with all the high pressure fuel hose, O2 Sensor, hand held programmer, and installed a new fuel tank to ensure no trash would pass through the new system. Turn the key and she's there, no cold natured, no padding the throttle, just ready to ride! All this is kept cool with a Champion 3 core aluminum radiator, new water pump, hoses, and duel Derale electric fans. To help the spark out a MSD 6AL ignition was installed. 140 amp alternator from Summit Racing was added to keep the power sufficient, and a Summit Racing mini hi torque starter to help get things going. A factory style engine wiring harness was installed from 396SS.com, came made for an internally regulated alternator and for HEI ignition system. New power steering pump, all new belts, fresh fluids everywhere, new motor mounts and Trick Flow throttle cable bracket put on so everything flows and works properly. Power goes through a fresh 700R4 overdrive transmission to a new balanced driveshaft from Southwest Speed to the 12 bolt rear end. That is all I know about the rear, the tag has been removed prior to me acquiring the car.
Inside you are greeted by a new dash face plate, new a/c vents that blows the ice cold (or hot) air from the vents, the floor, or windshield defroster from the Vintage Air heating and cooling system. The entire kit is installed under the passenger side dash, blows good and strong, and good and cold on hot days and was charged with R134. New dash, firewall, and kick panel insulation was installed to help keep out engine and road heat and noises. For listening pleasure a RetroSound digital knob style radio was installed with out having to cut the new dash carrier. Radio has a front and rear auxiliary input for iPods, MP3 players, ect., controls for CD changers, and outputs for an amp and subwoofer system. Wires for amp and subwoofer system are ran hidden into trunk for ease of hooking something up. Radio receives well through power antenna in right front fender, and sounds great through RetroSound stereo dash speaker, Pioneer 160 watt 2-way 6.5 kick panel enclosed speakers, and 2 Sony 6X9 3-way speakers installed under the package tray. Package tray is solid with no cut outs for speaker installation. Trunk, package tray and under the rear seat has been coated in POR15 for corrosion resistance followed by new insulation and factory replacement material. Rear seat does not match front seats and is not correct for the car, was on the list of things to take care of next. Driver seat also has some tears in bottom seat part, all can be noted in pictures. To keep in interior and trunk dry new weather stripping was put in, including all 8 window felts (door and quarter windows, inside and outside). New door hinge pins were put in to keep the big heavy GM doors straight and the seal tight. All windows go up and down with ease and vent windows crank open effortless. New ignition switch, wiper switch, headlight switch and cigarette lighter were installed to keep everything working correctly. After trunk was coated with POR15, it was treated with a few coats of spatter paint for the period correct appearance. Trunk pan is solid with no holes or rust. Car did come with factory air conditioning. I have everything that was removed from car, which appears to only be missing compressor and compressor brackets.
The exterior of the car is red with black rally stripes. Paint is of driver quality and is not perfect, there are a few chips and slight scratches. The body is solid with a one or two small bubbles behind the front driver tire and under the rear window. Most imperfections can be seen from pictures. The floors are not patched anywhere and are solid! The frame is solid front to back with no modifications! Bumpers are in good shape for age. Wheels are 15 inch rallys with almost new tires.

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans
Tue, Apr 30 2019According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
