1957 Chevrolet "Black Widow". This is a very rare and special car. It started out life as an Oregon State Patrol car out of Baker Oregon. It was found in a barn in Walla Walla Washington where it had been stored for 32 years with a total of 42,000 miles. It was transformed into a Black Widow by someone very familiar with NASCAR having spent 10 years with legends like Junior Johnson, Ralph Moody of Holman Moody, and Skoal Bandit racing. Tiger Tom Pisone, who drove Black Widows at NASCAR, was consulted for the build.

This 57 has a seamless boxed frame with all original sheet metal including all body and floor panels. No patching was done or needed. During the body off restoration every nut and bolt was replaced. Every part was removed and meticulouly restored to correct original paint codes from top to bottom. The 57 has one piece bumpers as well as all original stainless.

The 1957 283 is fitted with a numbers matching fuel injection unit with extremely rare 5" Black Widow Air intake and Fenton Cast Iron 4 head pipe stainless steel header system. The engine was built, blueprinted, and run on a Super Flo 901 Dyno. The 283 makes 353 hp. The 3 speed w/overdrive, 4:11 posi rear end, suspension, wiring, glass, interior, gauges, etc. all disassembled, rebuilt or replaced as needed. The car comes with a photo album of the restoration.

This is a one of a kind car for sale at a fraction of the cost to build. The paint and body work are flawless. It has never seen water since restoration. This car runs perfectly and needs nothing. Call or e-mail if you need more information or pictures. I am a long time acquaintance of the owner/builder and am listing it for him. If you buy this car at auction and come to pick it up and not totally satisfied you don't have to buy it. I reserve the right to end the auction early. There are no warrantees written or implied. Thanks for looking! 360 459 4516.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A 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?
