Powerglide

Clear

Gasoline

I am selling my chevelle due to only putting on 500-600 miles in the last 4-5 years. I thought i would have more time than I do to enjoy it. I bought it in 2004 from a friend and it had a small block 350 in it and a 4 speed tranny. I wanted more horsepower so I had a big block stroker built in Manteca by Walt's Performance Machine. It is a 496 cubic inch big block with a retro solid roller cam setup that alone by itself was $1500+ for cam, lifters and rockers. It has Brodix heads with Girdles, guide plates, heavy duty thickwall pushrods, etc. The bottom end is completely forged and is a pumpgas motor at 10.1:1 compression. It is supposed to make around 850 HP at the crank. It has Hooker Super Competition ceramic coated headers that are a two piece design for maximum flow. It has a Holley Dominator 1150 on an Edelbrock Victor intake. Billet pulleys and brackets, high flow Victor water pump, Griffin Aluminum radiator and mechanical fan with electric backup fan also. There were no shortcuts taken when building this engine. I have approximately $16,000 in just the engine itself, not to mention the Powerglide transmission with 4500 RPM stall, transbrake and scatter shield. I just replaced the transmission cooler lines with rubber high pressure lines with the correct fittings to eliminate the transmission leak at the cooler which has a fan on it as well made by B&M. It has a ford 9 inch rear end that had been rebuilt with all new bearings and seals with 4.88 gears and has been shortened. Wheelie bars are included you will need them! The front and rear suspension has been completely rebuilt with all new bushings, ball joints, tie rods, idler arm, shocks, springs (front and rear). The brake system is hydro-boost so you dont have to worry about engine vacuum. The whole brake system has also been replaced from the master cylinder to all four brake calipers, rotors and hoses, etc. Adjustable proportioning valve also. I just bought new rear tires for it that have maybe 100 miles at most on them. They are Mickey Thompson Sportsman Radials 29 x 15.50 x 15, the front tires are 165R15. The fuel system has a Barry Grant pump I think its a 400 with a 20 gallon fuel cell and 5/8 hose from the pump to the regulator and to the carb as well. If you have any more questions feel free to call me at 209-570-0994 my name is James. The car was built origionally back in 1982 by a local guy named Dennis Van Dyke and he trailered it to a big carshow in which it took 1st place Car Craft Nationals. It has also been in HotRod Magazine and I have the edition to go along with the car. I did take it to sac raceway one time just to see what it would do. I didnt use the transbrake and took off as easy as i could so I would have traction and still pulled a 11.71 on seven cylinders cause when I burnt a plug wire just before I ran it down the track, which has been fixed since then. The car was origionally a 4 door which got shortened by 4 feet so it is rather short, it has a wheel base of 84 inches. The car is also on YouTube and can be seen at the following link. 1969 Chevelle 2 door coupe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0yqyng5lVE and here is one of it running on a backroad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ysE179eVwQ Overall I have put over $29,000 into the car as a whole. Buyers will be responsible for the shipping and or transport of the vehicle once the sale has been completed. Local pick-up is ok as well. This vehicle does have a reserve set on it, and no I won't tell you what it is by emailing me or texting me so sorry in advance.
