1963 Chevy Biscayne 2 door sedan 550hp Twin Turbo LS 5.3 .. Dare to be different...This is the ultimate sleeper still wearing its original 6 cyl badging, truly a Wolf in sheeps clothing .. Now is your chance to own This Biscayne, it has awesome patina that only mother nature, father time and the California sun and acid rain can create, looks like leopard print on roof hood and trunk.. It started life as a 6 cyl  powerglide car from the gangland of Compton California wearing a real bullet hole in the left front fender…This Biscayne has tens of thousands of dollars invested not counting hours and hours of labor invested to build this cool ride… This car is the ultimate cruiser or street bruiser... Biscayne features a 550 hp twin turbo Chevy 5.3 LS on 4 wheel air bags and 4 wheel disc brakes.. This car is a million times more fun than any shiny trailer queen, don’t spend your weekends washing and waxing or worrying about something happening to your paint, spend it driving and enjoying.. Load up the  kids and go get an ice cream,  go fishing, go surfing,  load up coolers, BBQ, chairs, and friends and family and go tailgating.. haul your tools and junk in it, you can eat and drink in it, lean on it, put a trailer hitch on it and tow your trailer queen, you can even have fun racing other unsuspecting hot rod owners. Don’t kid yourself this car was built for fun and will give you smiles from ear to ear when you stab the throttle and you hear the whine of the turbos spooling up throwing you back in the seats (this car runs hard).. This car  was built to be enjoyed and driven, it gets more looks and attention when driven than any $150,000  shiny trailer queen…No need for an expensive garage to store it in, just a a slab of concrete and car cover will do..   This car runs on cheap high octane E85 fuel that will make the liberal tree huggers happy and is easy on your wallet… The great thing with turbos is they are a tame kitty kat when putted around but an animal when you stab the throttle… What’s more fun owning this car or watching your 401K balance fluctuate with every rotten thing the government does or worry that Rats like  Bernie Madoff or the Enron scammers will take it? Eventually  the piss-poor broke government will figure out how to dip into your hard earned money to fund their next scam/bailout, Just like they did social security, so invest in cars and memories enjoy it now… click on link to see the article written about it this month in CHEVYHARDCORE magazine http://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/battle-scarred-63-biscayne/

I  addressed minor rust issues caused by window left down.. I replaced rear floor pans  and patches front driverside floor as needed with reproduction floor pans.. great body mounts rockers floors and trunk.. This Biscayne is structurally sound and solid, but this car isn’t about perfection, its about patina and  scars/bullet hole on the original paint creating the perfect distressed look as only time can do… If you understand this style of car then you will understand it is absolutely perfect in all its imperfections and is complete and finished. I encourage personal inspection prior to bidding, no joy rides…

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk

Tue, Oct 27 2015

General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
