have copious amounts of money in this car. purchased through some people in my home town that own the local towing/wrecking company. had been in one of his out buildings forever along with a 68 malibu that looked as though it got ass-ended by a log truck. the malibu had buick interior verified by cowl tag and build sheet. this was a strike year and these cars could of had anything gm in them. took the front clip, nice doors, mint buckets, and tilting/telescoping column from that car along with a few other parts. the super sport drive train had gone into one of his race cars years ago. guy I went to high school with in the 70's drove it every day. knew it was the same car by custom paint that had a graphic on the quarters.
I had a 69 427 and super t10 that was destined for the car, but has since gone into a 69 vette I purchased from a friend. original teal blue/teal blue 396 4 speed ac car with split back front bench. the guy that did all the work has mad skills and converted the firewall to accept a standard heater box. floors and trunk had plenty of pin holes. bottom of quarters and wheel well lips were rusted. after the trunk was cut out some rust was found in the bottom of the tail panel so it was replaced also. everything but the frame was either media blasted or stripped with a large brush on a big grinder. no rattle can anything anywhere on this car. high solid epoxy went on top of bare metal, then body work, then a regular epoxy primer. still have a gallon of $100 sealer primer that comes with car. brought it back just short of paint when I knew it would be sold. my plan was black base/clear. the dash, rear package area and window frame already painted black single stage urethane. engine compartment, interior, trunk shot with a satin black enamel. high grade paintable undercoating that dries like bedliner went on trunk, floors, underside of trunk and drop offs. splatter paint went on top of that in the trunk. the metal work was awesome. the quarter skins were fully welded as was the trunk and floors. zero warping as the guy takes the time to weld cool weld cool. very little filler besides the quarter skin seams. urethane seam sealer on all trunk and floor seams. all door hinges rebuilt, heater box all gone through with new heater core, new dash pad, rear seat all new. the front buckets are still the buick style upholstery, but mint. planned on using them for a few years before buying the chevelle stuff. all the loose pieces were media blasted and put in satin black enamel(bumper brackets, ect.) new front and rear bumpers. new tank and sending unit. new core support and bushings. the front clip was re-assembled with all new hardware. grill re-painted with satin black on top of an adhesion promoter. all the stainless is polished and ready to go back on. roof rail stainless has new foam installed on it. all the factory dark green tinted glass including the perfect factory windshield installed. rear and windshield put in with primer and urethane instead of the cheap tape kits. front and rear window molding clips all new and ready for moldings to be snapped in place. this car was complete when I took it apart. threw out a few things that needed replacing(front turn signals, couple of marker lights, and a couple of aluminum trim pieces come to mind). otherwise everything is there. all the wiring was in good shape and back in place. car had a factory roller tach cluster that was pretty nasty and expensive to restore, so I sold it to help build the mountain of cash that went into this thing. used the speedo/clock cluster from the malibu which was in nice shape.
major stuff to complete the car would be: headliner, door panels, carpet, motor/transmission( I have two 4 speed drivelines), exhaust, radiator. If you can swing a gun and turn a wrench, watch your nickels and dimes you could finish this thing for a lot less than buying a done one. they took a bunch of resto pics for me with a cheap digital camera I left there you can find at: http://1968chevellesupersport.shutterfly.com/
have a contact at an oregon transport company that is really reasonable and will help get the car loaded for whoever comes for it. If you have any doubts about what you may be buying here please come look at it up close. everything was done right by a professional who cares about their work. this is a fixed price/make offer listing so everyone interested knows it is an honest sale and not some guy running it up with his buddies fake bids.

Driving Granatelli's turbine-powered 1978 Chevy Corvette [w/video]
Thu, Jan 8 2015With its curvy snout and feminine haunches, the third-gen Chevrolet Corvette looks like a dreamy – if dated – exemplar of Sports Car Fantasy 101 when viewed through modern eyes. This particular specimen circa '78, clad in silver and black paint with red pinstripes, appears to be a well-preserved example from the era. Apart from its low-profile Pirellis, slightly raised and slotted hood, spacious stance and a certain hand-painted descriptor alongside its crossed flag logos, you'd never guess there's a Space-Age propulsion unit powering this Coke bottle-bodied ride. Climb inside, and you're presented with aircraft gauges and big, colorful square buttons in the center panel. It takes a push of the "Ignitor" button, a tap of the starter button, and a slide of a T-handle for this nearly 40-year-old sports car to start sounding like Gulfstream G650 ready for takeoff. Yep, you're sitting in an 880-horsepower, turbine-powered Corvette, the only one of its kind in the world. Welcome to the whoosh. What The...? Built by Vince Granatelli, son of Indy 500 guru Andy Granatelli, this curious Corvette came into being by cramming a Pratt & Whitney ST6N-74 gas turbine engine into the donor car's lengthy front end. The same type of Jet A-burning mill powered Granatelli Senior's STP-sponsored racecar at the 1967 Indianapolis 500, where it famously led most of the 198 of 200 laps until a $6 transmission bearing failed, knocking it out of the race. The idea of turbine power usurping internal combustion was so threatening that Indy's governing body restricted turbine performance into obsolescence thereafter. A turbine-powered Corvette sounds excessive because it is. But there are also things about this 880-horsepower, 1,161-pound-feet monster that might surprise you. While it smacks of futurist exoticism and cost a then-dizzying $37,000 in 1967, the Canadian-built powerplant uses 80 percent fewer parts than an internal combustion V8 and will run on virtually anything combustible – whiskey, diesel, even Chanel No. 5. Though it's triple the length of a V8, the Pratt & Whitney beast weighs only 285 pounds. It's also one hell of a robust workhorse, typically serving as an auxiliary power unit for commercial aircraft or a generator in oil fields, where it can run for tens of thousands of consecutive hours before needing an overhaul. To adapt the Chevrolet for jet duty, the nose section was gutted and a sub-frame was built to compensate for the loosey-goosey front end.
The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers
Sun, Dec 14 2014Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.
