I have a fully restored, better than new 1965 el Camino that I hate to sell, but I have bills that need to be paid .What we have here is a very nice sleeper /cruiser /cross country driver. This beauty can idle all day in traffic and never get hot, cruise at any speed on the highway at a low rpm 70mph@ 2200 rpm . BUT WHEN YOU WANT TO PLAY JUST PRESS DOWN THE PEDAL AND HANG ON. This beauty will light the tires up in any gear on command, or you can use her as a daily commuter.

    Now to the details, with the body removed, the frame has been completely stripped and repainted, all the springs front and rear have been replaced with a sport suspension handling package including sway bars,  KYB shocks on all 4 corners, all the control arm bushings and ball joints and other front suspension parts were supplied by Original Parts Group. The brake system was supplied by SSBC with power disc front brakes, and rear drum brakes, all the brake lines and fuel lines are brand new and stainless steel, the fuel tank is also new. The engine is a GM Performance 383 crate motor, the transmission is a TCI Performance turbo 350 package. The engine has a GM tune port injection system, with a new wiring harness and new injectors & programed ECM (has OBD diagnostic connector under dash). This engine also has a Paxton supercharger system made for the tune port  injection system and it runs fantastic. The supercharger only boost high when under heavy load, boost 5-7lb at full boost, 1-3lb normal driving. Very quiet system, you would never know it's there, unless you see it. The car has; power steering and power brakes, a serpentine belt system, 4core radiator and duel electric fans, has full-length headers, and a complete Flowmaster 2.5" exhaust system.

  The interior is completely new; new seat and door panels, new headliner, new dash pad, new visors, new carpet, and the complete interior has been dyno matted. Has a Ididit tilt steering column, new Painless wiring harness, has Dakota digital gauges, custom Autosound stereo system (STOCK LOOK), all new door seals and window felts. There is hardly any road noise on the inside.

Has a new paint job that looks great, the paint is a gun metal gray. The body lines all line up nice and the gaps are even, most of the stainless is original and original bed rails & bumpers. The grill and front trim is aftermarket (Original Parts Group). All the doors open & shut like new , so does the tail gate, the bed has been rino-lined, no rust. It also has a custom made bed cover. The paint has been cut and buffed so it real shines. Overall this a very nice car.

I'm sure I have left out a ton of details, thanks for looking & good luck if you're biding. Don't let this one get away if you've been searching for a gem!

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
