THE AWARD WINNING 1955 "SILVERBACK"! JUST COMPLETED A TWO YEAR PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION! LESS THAN 50 MILES!
105+ PHOTOS & VIDEO LOCATED BELOW! ENJOY!
If you're a Chevy guy (or gal) then you're going to enjoy our 55. If you're a Tri-Five guy (or gal), well
you're about to mess up all of your priorities by putting this thing at the top of your "want list". For that,
I apologize. If you're neither of the two, well chances are you're a Prius guy and if that's the case, I think
they've got reruns of Friends running on the Oprah network for all of April.
One of my good buddies just finished building this 55. He took it all the way down and brought it all
the way up. It just took 2nd place at World of Wheels (couple months ago). The paint and body work on the car is
great. It was done in a two stage base coat clear coat and was done by a very talented & experienced auto artist
by the name of Larry Liles. He owns Fine Line Customs out of Tightward, Missouri. The black and silver with the
combination of the staggered black rims, really give the 55 it's own mean appearance. Like a true Silverback, it
is hunched and ready to tear the street apart. All of the chrome & stainless has either been redone or replaced
with new pieces. The majority of it being refurbished. All of the glass through out the 55 has been replaced with
new smoked glass. It's got new body bushings as well as a new idler arm. He put all new emblems through out and
went ahead with the "Belair" upgrade.
The 350 motor within this 55 has been rebuilt and is in excellent mechanical order. The 600 Edelbrock
provides the perfect balance between having a nice cruiser but with enough power that if you want to get around
someone then there is more then plenty to work with. Want to just roast the tires to burn off some steam? She'll
do that and then some. It is fed by a new Holley Blue electric fuel pump. To keep her cool he installed a new
aluminum radiator. The 350 Turbo transmission was also rebuilt and functions flawlessly. She shifts through gears
with ease. He also bought and installed a brand new Ron Francis wiring harness. She does have four wheel disc
brakes all the way around. All of which work exceptionally well. The Ford 9' rear end also works flawlessly. He
also bought a new power steering setup for it which also works flawlessly.
The interior was completely tore down with the rest of the car at the beginning of the build. So all of it
was reupholstered. From the carpet to the headliner, it is all new. The tilt steering column along with the
brand new wood grain steering wheel, all new. When you first climb in, you immediately smell just how new it is.
It is quite comforting.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
