Very Rare! 1969 Super Sport 396 4 Speed Chevelle Convertible! A Very Solid Car Which Still Retains Its Factory Paint & Super Sport Stripes! Backed By A CE Warranty Replacement Motor And Its Original Numbers Matching Four Speed! Original Tach Car! I Can Assure You That You WILL NOT Find Another One Like It!

     The moment I sat eyes on this Chevelle, my heart started racing. My more rational and practical side kept trying to over ride my emotions but the more I dove in to this Chevelle, the more I got excited about it. I think any car guys can relate to what I am talking about. We hunt and we hunt to find cars like these and most of the time, it seems like we are just chasing ghosts. Fortunately, this is not one of those scenarios.

     This Chevelle has belonged to to a fanatical Chevelle collector for quite some time. Someone who never sells and has kept his metal secrets locked away from the World for decades. Years ago, this Chevelle was driven across Missouri and parked where it has been sitting for quite some time. This Chevelle has not had many hands on it over the years. It still retains its original factory paint with its original factory Super Sport stripes! The entire infrastructure, the bones of this car are unmolested. It still retains all of its original sheet metal (with the exception of the core support and new fenders) most of which is completely solid. Every original bracket is still in tact and untouched. The original floors and trunk to the Chevelle are completely solid and original. This Chevelle still has its original convertible top which has no tears in it! The interior is 100% original and is in excellent shape. The front bucket seats do not have a stain nor tear in them. The tach and instrument panel is completely original and has never been tampered with. There is just so much to break down on this car so I will do my best to give you a detailed description of what this Chevelle entails. If this is your dream car, you're going to thoroughly enjoy this read.

Body: The body on this Chevelle is completely original. We have installed new fenders along with a core support that has been powder coated. We also installed new core support bushings. Starting with the floors, they are completely original and totally solid. There are no pin size holes nor weak spots through out any of the front nor rear floors. The trunk pan is exactly the same. It too has no pin size holes nor weak spots. It is also completely solid. The frame on the Chevelle is also completely solid as are the doors, cowl, cowl corners, firewall, rear sill, deck lid, hood, inner wheel housing, A pillars, and windshield support. What does need replaced are the quarters and outer wheel housing. Which I do have one new quarter as well as one outer wheel housing which I am including with the Chevelle. One thing I would like to mention is how nice the doors open and shut as well as how well the windows roll up and down which you will be able to see within the video located below. As you can see within the photos located below, the Chevelle still retains its original factory paint and SS stripes. The convertible top on this Chevelle is missing its back window but the remaining top is completely sound. It does need cleaned but it does not have any tears or dry spots wearing through. The Chevelle also still retains its original factory disc brakes, big block suspension, and the big block specific steering column. Along the rear tail panel, you will find the factory punch holes for the original SS 396 emblem which unfortunately did not come with the Chevelle.

Interior: The interior of this Chevelle extremely nice. It is like looking at something that has been captured inside of a time capsule. The front bucket seats are exceptionally nice with no rips, tears, nor any other major blemishes. The back seat is also extremely nice but has one small crack in it. The rear door panels and center console are also very nice. The front door panels are decent but they do have a couple of small blemishes. The instrument panel and dash are exceptionally nice. It will need a new dash pad but the rest of the dash is just unbelievably nice. The gauges still look like new. The needles are all in tact and do not look faded nor aged.

Mechanical: The 396 within this Chevelle is a "CE" block which is a warranty replacement setup. It does turn over and is not locked up. From what I was told, the Chevelle did run and drive to where it was parked, years ago. The Muncie four speed is the original numbers matching transmission. The production sequence is stamped in to it and does match the VIN. It does seem functional as it does move in and out of gears. The Chevelle does have a power top and it was functional at the time it was parked. It too does not appear to have ever been tampered with.

     Located below, you will find over 150 photos as well as video of the Chevelle. My goal is to get the Chevelle sold. So if you're interested, please call or email and I will gladly answer any questions or concerns. Please understand that this auction can and probably will come down before the auction ends as I do have it for sale locally. So please, do not be surprised if I have taken it down the next time you refer back to the auction. I know that many people do not approve of that process but I am here to get the Chevelle sold. So with that, I have no problems with sharing my reserve with serious buyers. I do have a clean Missouri title for this Chevelle. Have an excellent day!

Thanks,

Shawn

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.

North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed

Thu, Nov 17 2022

The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities.  The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit.  The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year.  Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting.  50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.

Chevy, Lincoln dealers say they still want sedans

Mon, Feb 17 2020

Detroit automakers have famously turned their backs on sedans as they make the strategic bet to double down on money-making trucks and SUVs, but dealers for at least two American brands are giving the companies contrary signals. In separate recent interviews with leading national dealer councils for Chevrolet and Lincoln, Automotive News reports that both brands’ dealers still see a need for cars. The publication published a Q&A interview with Mike Bowsher, chairman of the Chevrolet National Dealer Council, who said Chevy dealers managed to hold onto market share last year despite the phase-out of the Cruze compact sedan and hatchback, thanks to products like the Spark and Sonic subcompacts and the Trax and Equinox crossovers. But, he acknowledged, “We do feel like we could use a car, especially in the low-MSRP range.” The comments follow similar recent comments from Tom Lynch, who chairs the Lincoln National Dealer Council. He told AN, “If weÂ’re not in segments where there is still a good amount of business, I think the company and the dealers lose out.” The Cruze was one of the victims of GMÂ’s November 2018 announcement of plant closures, with production having ceased with the closure of GMÂ’s Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant last year. GM sold 47,975 Cruzes in 2019 but a healthy 142,617 in 2018. At Lincoln, Lynch said the council has been telling the company it needs to stick with the sedan segment, despite plans to kill the MKZ sedan in the coming months and unconfirmed reports that the Continental isnÂ’t long for this world, either, despite the buzz of the suicide-door Coach Door Edition, shown in the photo above. Lincoln sold 17,725 MKZs and 6,586 Continental sedans in 2019, down a combined 15%, but still good for almost 22% of overall Lincoln sales. It's worth noting that Lincoln competes in a luxury segment that still expresses allegiance to four- and two-door cars. Even Cadillac, its cross-town rival, is staying active with the upcoming CT5 and CT4 sedans. Lynch pointed to Tesla as evidence that strong sedan products can resonate with consumers, though he conceded that “What that looks like for Lincoln going forward, IÂ’m not sure of.” For now, anyway, Chevy still offers the Sonic and Spark subcompacts, the latter of which saw sales climb 32.5% in 2019 to 31,281 (Sonic sales fell nearly as steeply).
