you are bidding on a 1970 chevelle california car that was made into a ss 454 clone. as u can tell by the trim tag this car was built in Van Nuys California plant as a 1970 chevelle malibu 2 door sports coupe 8 cylinder . it was painted green mist with a dark green interior.

 

The car spent its whole life in california untill 1994 when the owners family moved out to New Jersey. The car has never been "on the road" since then. It belonged to a kid i went to highschool with. his father had previously owned a bodyshop and it was a father and son project. they did a frame off restoration on the car between 1994 and 1999 but they never completed it. they had sent the car out for paint in 1999 and it sat in the body shop till 2004 when i traded him a 1967 camaro for the chevelle.

The way u see the car in the pictures is exactly the way i got it. it has been sitting in my moms garage since 2004 collecting dust. every time i thought id start working on it something would come up and sidetrack me. now in 2013 i have excepted that after buying a house im just not ever going to have the time to finish this car.

about the car....it has to be one of the cleanest origional sheet metal cars i have ever seen. the body is 100% gm sheet metal. you can pretty much eat off the car. the floors and trunk are perfict. along with most all the typical problem areas for chevelles. the car was stripped down to bare metal and i was told the only rot spot was on the pass quarter bottom right behind the rear wheel maby the size of a baseball??? i can see where there is filler there on the quarter and the inner wheel well. i can also tell you that at some point the weel well lip on the quarters was trimmed down to clear bigger tires. its not flush with the quarter pannel but its maby 1/3 the width now.(pictured) I am not a body guy by any means, but it  appears that the only filler used on the car was for minor dent repair. obviously there is some where the quarter meets the roof and where the windshield pillars meet the roof as these spots were filled with lead from the factory. all the gaps in the body are nice(by gm standards). (pictured) . currently the car is in black primer with about an inch of dust.

the car has all the ss 454 options like power disc breaks, 454 engine, turbo 400 automatic transmission, 12 bolt posi rear end, boxed lower control arms and frame braces, ss rear bumper, and gm cowl induction hood.

 

the motor is in running condition, doesn t smoke or knock, and i can demo it for you. as far as any specs on it i have no info. just that it is a 454. and i did run the numbers at one point to verify it wasn t a 402. when i got it there was no distribuitor wires or carb so i just threw some on there to get it running. the wires will need to be replaced and the carb needs to be rebuilt.

the transmission is a turbo 400, and again i have no specs on it, the shifter cable/ linkage is not hooked up so i just leave it in neutural. aslo the trans lines are just looped with rubber trans hose. the hard lines will need to be run to the cooler.

the rear end is a chevelle 12 bolt posi. i dont know the gears, but i have verified its a posi because when u jack it up bolth wheels spin in the same direction and also the car i verry hard to push while the steering wheel is turned. It is not a buick, olds, pontiac, rear.

as u can see in the pictures it also has a floor shift steering column, buckett seats,power steering, and a ss dash.

the car will need to have all the break lines and fuel lines ran, also all the wireing hooked up(included with the car). all of the glass is there except for the windshield. i have the stainless windshield and back window trim. I t will aslo need an exhaust system from the headers back. the engine needs a powersteering pump and belt. 

the car has a clean and clear nj title in my name.


On Feb-27-13 at 07:39:57 PST, seller added the following information:

 

The interior is mostly complete, it will need carpet, a floor shifter,a headliner, the sail panels,rear seat shelf cover and seat belts.

because the shifter is not hooked up, and the lack of break lines, you can t drive this car . it will have to be trailered home. if your trailer doesn t have a winch be prepared to use a come along.


On Feb-27-13 at 10:42:35 PST, seller added the following information:

the back seat and bucket seats are currently in the car.  i took them out to take pictures of the floor pans which are usually problem areas on chevelles. The floors and trunk are 100% origional, no horrible patch jobs with those ugly weld seams front to back.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
