You are looking at a beautiful1966 chevelle Resto-mod custom. I purchased the car out of Texas a few years ago as a gift for my wife. It is just as it was when I purchased. The only thing I changed was the oil and a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.
This car has been completely gone thru by the previous owner. I have put this car on my lift and closely inspected all the running gear. The only thing I noticed was that one of the steering links is slightly rubbing on the custom aluminum oil pan. I took detailed pictures of the underside of the car. My wife only put a couple thousand miles on this vehicle in the last couple years. The dash gauges were replaced by the previous owner before I purchased the vehicle. The odometer reads 3713 miles. Which I am sure is not the original miles. I assume this reflects the mileage since the restomod. Seeing as how the whole driveline has been upgraded and replaced, I guess the 3700 miles is accurate. The vehicle runs and drives like a new car. I did a close inspection the other day and attempted to make note of everything that was upgraded and replaced by the previous owner. Someone spent some serious cash on parts for this restomod. Here is what I came up with for a list.

Drivetrain:

The engine is a late model LS-1 5.7L transplanted from a Corvette using a TurnKey LS conversion kit. It has a K&N cold air intake filter and is cooled by an AFCO aluminum racing radiator.

The transmission is a floor shifted 4 speed automatic with torque converter lockout.

The rear axle seems to be an LPW Ultimate60 series rear end with posi trac. Not sure of gearing, but it goes down the highway perfectly.

The rear axle has a disk brake conversion. The pads and rotors are in great shape.

The front brakes have been upgraded with a BAER big brake conversion. These pads and rotors are like new as well.

Suspension:

Air Ride Systems airbag suspension with compressor and tank mounted in the upper level area of the trunk(behind rear seat backs).

The front suspension consists of tubular upper and lower control arms with Firestone Airbags and Hotchkis steering links.

The rear suspension is also a tubular four link supplied by Strong Arm, and utilizes Firestone airbags as well.

Exhaust:

The Hooker ceramic coated Competition Plus Headers flow into a 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust system with balancing H pipe, the exhaust terminates out the side behind the rear wheels... just as it should.

Plumbing and Tanks:

All the lines on this car are either stainless steel hardline or stainless braided with A&N style anodized aluminum fittings.

The gas tank is a polished stainless steel. It appears the fuel pump is located inside the tank.

The radiator overflow catch tank is a polished aluminum.

Gauges/Stereo/Electrical:

It appears that the original wiring was replaced with a Painless Wiring Harness.

The stereo is an Ipod compatable CD player with 6X9 speakers in the back and 5" fronts mounted in custom enclosures down by the kick panel.

The entire dash panel which houses the gauges, has been replaced with a custom molded, unit with an aluminum appearance. This piece houses a complete Autometer Pro Comp white faced gauge cluster. Looks very clean and professional.

The Optima style Excide battery is located in the trunk with a disconnect switch mounted in the carpeted cover panel. I do not have the switch connected.

Wheels and Tires:

The wheels are 18" Boyd Coddington front and rear with brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.

275/35 ZR18 Rear

225/40 ZR18 Front

I also have the original Yokahama performance tires which came with the car. They are in great condition I just always run Michelins on all my vehicles.

Interior/Exterior

The entire interior of this car has been redone. The seats, carpet, Doorcards and headliner are like new. The only thing i noticed is that the chrome striping on the door cards is peeling a little bit. I have seen this before on reproduction parts. Also, the headliner, while NEW, seems to have a little slack towards the rear window section of the car. Not bad, just wanted to give an honest description of the condition.

It looks like all the rubbers and seals have been replaced. Doors/windows/felts and trunk.

The original steering column has been replaced with a newer Tilt unit that has a Grant steering wheel attached.

If you open up the glove compartment door, you will notice the box has been deleted to make room for the aftermarket air conditioning system. The A/C blows ice cold.

There is storage in the center console which also houses a tick tock clock and smooth operating automatic shifter.

I peeled back a section of carpet and discovered that the floor has been completely Dynamated for sound deadening and thermal insulation.

The trunk has been completely carpeted with material that matches the interior of the car. Custom panels have been fabricated and carpeted to hide the battery and tail lights.

All the exterior bright work is beautiful, Bright Shiny and Straight.

The exterior of the car has been painted a beautiful metallic Blue. The paint looks "good" not great. I think a little more effort could have been given on the final sanding of the bodywork. I am very picky, I am sure to most people it looks fantastic. I did notice a small section at the bottom of one of the front fenders had signs of small blisters. This car has been kept in a climate controlled garage whenever it's not being driven. I'm pretty sure my wife never even took it out in the rain.

The engine compartment is absolutely spotless. All wiring and hoses have been routed neatly and correctly to make for a nice clean presentation.

The car is badged as a 396SS. Which it is obviously not. I believe this car probably began life as a Malibu, This fact is reflected in the very reasonable reserve I have set.

I have done my best to give you an accurate description of this resto-mod Chevelle. Please look over the pictures and feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Please don't bother bidding if you have less than 10 transactions without contact me first.

While shipping and or transport is your responsibility I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

Good luck bidding!

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
