1968 Chevrolet Chevelle ss396 true ss car 138 vin code fully restored like new condition

 

Description:

I have up for auction a fully restored 1968 Chevelle SS, from the ground up no expense was spared, frame off restoration was done by a professional restoration shop here on Long Island, engine, transmission, differential, interior and all most everything else was done by myself.  The process took over 3 years to complete and was finished in December of 2012.  The car has won best in show at 2 different car shows and people’s choice in another 2 shows.  I will list all the features below, just to let you know this is not a 10 or 20 thousand restoration the price tag on this was up near $85,000.00 and I did a lot of the work myself, here’s what I’ve got in her:

 

Engine:


454 LS6 bored .030 461CI, 557HP@5900RPM, 525FTLBS@4500RPM, dyno tested, Balanced and Blueprinted by B&B Machine, Comp cams 595 lift 250* duration, solid lifter, Comp roller rockers and pushrods, Melling oil pump, Edelbrock RPM intake, Holley HP1000, Hooker Stainless Steel Headers 2"/3.5" collectors, Pypes Stainless Steel Exhaust 2.5" out the back sounds great, LS6 forged pistons 11.0 compression, LS6 dimpled steel rods, LS6 forged steel crank, 4 bolt LS6 block and heads rectangular ports, Power adder NOS 150 shot, totally remotely controlled from center console, tank is mounted in trunk (over 700HP).


Transmission:


M-22 modified custom gear ratio from Auto Gear Inc. I have the matching numbers case it goes with the car but installed is a M-22 Super Case with a 2.56 first, 1.91 second, 1.48 third and a 1.00 fourth gear, trany was built to handle the 700HP.  Differential, 12 bolt GM Eaton posi rear 3.73 ratio also fully rebuilt new posi clutch kit and bearings/seals.


General:

 

Period correct looking AM/FM MP3 stereo, buckets, console, original Hurst Competition plus shifter, full Autometer gages.  The entire interior is new, seat covers, door panels, carpets, fully Dynomatted floor, pictures speak for themselves way too much to list all new brakes and suspension, Bilstein shocks, boxed rear arms all urethane bushings, rear sway bar, stainless steel fuel tank and straps, the list goes on and on everything was either rebuilt or replaced even the blower motor everything works, it’s like a new car.  The differential and transmission are numbers matching the engine is not although as I mentioned prior the transmission case is not in the car at this time but it will be sold with it, the LS6 engine in the car is an icon only produced in 1970 and was rated at 450HP from the factory, that’s why I kept it I could of sold it for a ton of money and purchased a numbers matching 396 but I wanted the icon and an extra 200HP.  Body is strait as they come looks like glass.  I did change up the wheels you will notice in some of the pics grey SS rims and in the later pics I had them chromed for a better look also a head rest kit was installed after completion, headrests were $111.00 option in 1968...  The steering box is a quick ratio unit so when driving steering and handling feel more like a late model vehicle but the original numbers matching box will be sold with the car.  This car was also featured in the August 2014 issue of Car Craft Magazine.  There are so many things done to this car its hard to list all, any questions feel free to email us.

Cheapest SUVs of 2024

Mon, Jan 29 2024

There is no doubt that cost is the number one decision maker when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. As prices continue to climb, affordable choices are getting harder to find, so we dug through what's available to find the least expensive SUVs in the most popular classes.  These prices are current as of January 2024, using available manufacturer suggested retail prices for 2024 models wherever possible. The prices include destination fees, but not dealer markups or incentives. Cheapest small SUV: 2024 Hyundai Venue Not surprisingly, the most affordable SUVs are the smallest. There's a whole host of subcompact SUVs out there, with some of the first introduced being the Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman and Kia Soul. In the beginning, these micro utes were marketed to empty nesters and first-time buyers, but nowadays they represent an alternative to the conventional sedan and have been increasing market share ever since. Profit margins in this class are narrow and popularity is high, which means the entrants are competitively priced. The top choices in the class are only a couple thousand dollars more than the most affordable alternatives below, so it may make sense to consider our favorites that include the Mazda CX-30, Volkswagen Taos and Chevrolet Trax. 2024 Hyundai Venue: $21,135 The Hyundai Venue debuted in 2020 and earned praise for its overall value. You get a ton of features for the money as well as a very generous warranty. Holding it back is its rather weak engine and very tiny proportions. Honorable mentions: 2024 Chevrolet Trax: $21,495 2024 Kia Soul: $21,565 Cheapest midsize SUV: 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Compact SUVs have the broadest appeal thanks to a very diverse group. It seems as though there's a great pick for nearly every taste, whether you're seeking something sporty, rugged or luxurious. They're a great pick for small families with one child and/or a dog. The class is led by vehicles that include the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-50, which are still within reach of most shoppers' budgets. 2024 Chevrolet Equinox: $27,995 The Equinox debuted back in 2005 and this current third-generation was last redesigned in 2018, though a new one is right around the corner for the 2025 model year. While the current 2024 model may be showing its age, it still deserves your consideration for its comfortable ride quality, confident cornering and roomy passenger space.

Camaro SS, Hellcat Widebody, and an Airstream camper | Autoblog Podcast #545

Fri, Jun 29 2018

On this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Green Editor John Beltz Snyder and Senior Editor Alex Kierstein. We talk about a lot of American stuff, including the Chevy Camaro SS 1LE and the new Blazer, Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody, Ford's new train station and a diesel F-150 towing an Airstream trailer, as well as some Tesla pickup news. Somehow the Kia Stinger also made its way into this red, white and blue episode (because it's great, and it's our new long-termer). This week, we try something a little different in the "Spend My Money" segment. Autoblog Podcast #545 Your browser does not support the audio element.
