Hello,

Thanks for looking at my auction.This is my 68 Pro Street Chevelle that I've owned since 2001 originally built by JEPRORODZ.COM in 2000. Of coarse it didn't look like this but I posted a pic of what it looked like when I got it.The color is Cortez silver and was done here locally in 2009. Still shows great with only a couple of chips (which I have touched up) The interior was done by Seat Cover King in 2008. The motor was built by Shively Speed and Machine in late 2010. The wiring and numerous other items was done at Street and Strip Performance here in Louisville, KY.

This is a ladder bar car with the entire back half supplied by Chassis Engineering, 4 wheel manual disc brakes, rear are Wilwood, front are Jeg's slotted and drilled, Strange master cylinder,12 bolt 488 Posi with C-clip eliminators. Tires are MT Sportsman 33x 21.5 with "Bob Glidden" Pro Star rims. It has a built 3" driveshaft by Republic Diesel.

The car still retains the key start option but it has been upgraded with an ARC switch panel. The tach is a high end  Auto Meter Pro Comp with shift light and dual range.The shifter is a Cheeta with the reverse pattern, Line lock on the console and trans brake button on the handle.

The engine is a BBC 496..Eagle forged rotating assembly, SRP forged pistons (10.25-1 comp.). The cam is a solid roller by Comp Cams 652 lift..262-272 duration @50. Lifters and springs are Lunati..I believe the push rods are from Smith Bros. (had to order a special length because of the heads) Rockers are Crane gold series with stud girdle and poly locks on top. Heads are Pro Topline 320's (now called RHS)...2.25-1.88 Manley Severe Duty valves.  Cloyes double roller chain with torrington bearing and thrust button. Melling oil pump with an 8qrt pan. Hooker 2 1/8 headers with Flow Master Delta 3" mufflers, MSD dist , ignition box and coil.. Nice Chrome CSR electric water pump..Dual Derale fan kit with a high end Griffin radiator(1-55272-x)...This motor runs cool!  Blower is a Weiand 6/71 with Holley 750's jetted at 91 squared. Power valves are blocked off. This motor is set up to run fat and timing is locked and set at a safe 32 degrees with the blower running 12 percent under. Probably makes a safe 800 HP on pump gas but flip the pulleys change to some VP 116, move the timing to 36 degrees and who knows! The engine has approx. 75 miles (maybe) on it since it was installed in the spring of 2011.

The Trans is a built JW with the upgraded clutch discs and Cheeta manual valve body/brake reverse shift pattern and the torque converter is a TCI  10" with a 3600 stall on the brake..4000 on the flash (don't remember the part number...242200?) it's a good one made for this app. The trans also has is own Be Cool fluid cooler with fan.

The head lights, tail lights and turn signals work. Wipers work but I removed the arms..you can have them...I never drive this car in the rain...ever!  Glass is good, door windows roll up. Speedo does not work and it drips oil occasionally (not bad), probably from the excessive crank case pressure under boost. This car was put together with the best of parts..adult driven and proudly maintained. I have been a good stewart to this car but am getting older and don't seem to drive it much anymore. I will entertain partial trades but guys I won't be giving you $20,000 credit for your $10,000 car..I am no dummy! This car has always been a driver for me. It is not a Barrett Jackson car but it is well above average and you would not be embarassed at any rod run. The opening price is the reserve.

Due to the nature of this car it is sold "AS IS" "WHERE IS" ask questions or come and see the car in person, I have no secrets. I will assist in the shipping you arrange.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).

2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible gets cleaner looks, improved refinement [UPDATE]

Wed, Jun 24 2015

UPDATE: We have live photos from the reveal. Scroll to the bottom of the story and check them out in the Related Gallery. Back in May, Chevrolet introduced a redesigned Camaro. Now, and not at all surprisingly, the Bowtie brand is showing off the latest Camaro convertible, based on the coupe that debuted on Belle Isle in Detroit. From the beltline down, this is the same car that was so well-received last month. But above the waist, there's an all-new, fully automatic canvas roof that can be raised and lowered at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. On top of that, owners will be able to drop the roof remotely by simply pressing a button on the key. Chevy does not, however, say if this new convertible roof is lighter than last year's top. The biggest change for the Camaro convertible, though, is something we've long yearned for – a proper hard tonneau cover that deploys over the folded roof. The current muscle car's roof fabric has the unpleasant tendency to flap in the breeze. The new droptop shouldn't have that problem, and will likely boast an even cleaner top-down profile to boot. Like the hardtop, though, the Camaro convertible does benefit from the same lightweight structure, that helps trim "at least" 200 pounds of body fat. It should also make use of the same powertrain lineup, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V6, and a 6.2-liter V8 with six-speed manuals or eight-speed automatic transmissions spanning the lineup. "From the beginning, the Camaro's architecture was developed to incorporate a convertible with uncompromised driving dynamics," Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser said in the attached release. "Customers will appreciate what they don't feel: quivers, cowl shake or an under-damped chassis typically found in a four-seat convertible." Increased refinement, a cleaner look, better driving dynamics and a more usable convertible roof? We're looking forward to you 2016 Camaro convertible. Chevy claims the new car arrives in "early 2016," which means we should plan on seeing this droptop at the typically cold and snowy Detroit Auto Show. Until then, check out the full press release from Chevrolet.

Chevrolet will offer a convertible model of the all-new 2016 Camaro, featuring the segment's most-advanced top.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
