Pikeville, North Carolina, United States
More infos regarding my car at: rachaelrbbuckhanan@ukfarmers.com .
Please note: This was made to be a radical one of a kind car. It has no top. It has no windows, but the look and
the attention it gets is second to none! Who would want to drive one of these with the top up anyhow? This started
its life as a bubbletop 59 Impala, but I wanted to be different, so here it is!
Body:
Blasted and painted with Dupont Cameo Coral and light flake--looks almost a tint of pink in the sunlight, and a
darker red out of the sun----between the trim on the side and on the dash and interior are a combination of the
cameo and silver light flake.Under side and trunk were lizard skinned.
New trunk pans and floor pans. All dynamat on floors. New gas tank. There is teak wood that is polyureathaned that
fits perfectly where the windows would have been to give a nice clean look. California one piece front bumper. all
trim and brightwork are excellent for the age of the car. Custom one piece front valance that wraps around. Dual
antennas on rear fins.

500 lift cam

Brodix racing heads

Full airride suspension via air ride system--compressor with gauge mounted in trunk

Went with one inch lines instead of 1/2, so it goes up and down quick. People love it!

working gas gauge, and stock speedometer. It has a tack mounted on steering column but never hooked it up.

Trunk has been carpeted and finished to complete the uniform and neat look.
The trunk and hood operate on seperate switches mounted under the dash that go up with accuators. both fit
perfectly. Nothing cooler than pulling up and using the switches and mouths drop to the floor!
Has door poppers on both sides custom located on inside.
I know I may have forgotten some things but feel free to reach out!

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
