1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Survivor

Matching numbers car with 325HP/396 engine, TH 400 transmission and 12 bolt rear end. Power steering and power brakes. Original Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. Cranks, runs and drives and stops great. 126,000 original miles. Special order paint, Carolina Blue.

Car was purchased in July 1969 in Statesville, NC and stayed there until 1993 or 1994. Moved to Georgia where it stayed until 1998 or 1999 when it moved to OH for 10 years where it was garage kept while waiting to be restored. The owners never got around to it and it was sold to an Alabama owner where it was garage kept for the last 5 years.

Car has never been apart so build sheet is still in car, but I have original dealer invoice, NC inspection sheets, protecto plate, owners' manual and one set of never used original keys on the dealer's keychain.

The car is a real survivor and almost completely original, including paint, bumpers, interior, tinted glass, trim and wheels (wheels have been restored). To my knowledge, only exhaust, radiator, brakes, belts, hoses, tires and air cleaner have been changed from original. I don't believe engine has ever been out of car. Original AM radio, heat, lights, wipers, signals, etc. all work great. All gauges appear to work properly.  Fuel gauge started acting funny today but worked fine until now. Needs one headlight and a taillight bulb replaced.

It needs a headliner, the Chevelle emblem on front of car, a clip on driver's window handle, a small tear in the driver's headrest repaired and a new latch for glove box. Paint is not good but is original Carolina Blue special order (documented on invoice). Stainless is great. Wheel well molding trim is really good but has a couple of dings.

Car is remarkably solid and straight with only surface rust other than very small places in very bottom of rear quarters just behind rear tires, inside bottom rear corner of passenger door and inside driver corner of trunk lid.  No bondo or other body damage that I can find. Bumpers are very straight but need rechromed. Underside of car has only surface rust. Car has plastic inner fenders that I was told were factory installed and they need a couple of epoxy patches.

Car is currently registered in Alabama and they don't title cars that old. I can sell via bill of sale and registration or have an open OH title.

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early at any time.  $500 deposit due via paypal within 24 hours of auction end.  Balance due via wire or cashiers check within 5 days. Car should be picked up within 2 weeks of auction end unless prior arrangements are made.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
