This is the ultimate muscle car!     The custom built high performance 383 small block V8 in this car was built by Proformance Unlimited in 2009 and has seen less than 1000 miles since.  As can be seen in the picture of the invoice the engine and transmission cost was $9500.     Amazing race engine sound and performance but made for driving.     Backed up by a new TH 350 transmission with a high stall converter.    In the pictures I have included the invoice from the custom engine and transmission build that lists all of the parts and specs of the build.    I even have the video of the engine being tested on the dyno.    Additionally, this car is installed with a new, custom aluminum radiator. While the engine is big and powerful, the radiator keeps the engine very cool. The vehicle originally had a gear shift mounted on the column, but it has since been replaced with a T-Shift on the floor. Mechanically, it is pretty much ready!    I converted the rear drum brakes to disc and installed drilled and slotted rotors and CPP calipers.     The matching front rotors and calipers are sold with the car so a simple 2 hour install job.    I also installed a rear torsion bar to help stabilize the entire car.   All new front stabilizer urethane bushings sold with car as well.    It is a true muscle car!    For the new owner, this will be a paint job and interior project to finish up this muscle car beauty.   Talking interior, the front bench seat was replaced with two bucket seats out of a vehicle from the same era while the rear bench seat remains original. The headliner and carpet is original and in good shape.  As the condition description mentioned, there are very few dents and scratches on the vehicle. Out of these few, all are very minor. The chrome is not in bad shape. Nothing a little polish cant handle.    I installed a new custom grill as well.   There is no rust on this car anywhere, even the frame is rust free.    I bought this project car when i saw how rust free it was.    Clearly never seen salt.    Lastly, the vehicle is rolling on Boyd Coddington wheels and Toyo Tires. The wheels are absolutely gorgeous and will look amazing on a fully restored muscle car. Take some time to check out the pictures I have uploaded so you can see all of this for yourself.    I am selling this vehicle because I have moved my hobby from cars to planes and I do not think that I will ever get around to finishing this project. If you have any questions please contact me by email or phone. My cell number is 630-338-5143. Only serious buyers please!

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
