1976 Chevy Caprice lowrider history:

With its beautiful yacht like lines & elegance it was no wonder why this car was chosen to be a full show car early in its life in 1982. Just 6 years old of age this car went under a transformation that would impact many hearts, as they set eyes on this art master piece.

With just under 6 years of being driven off the show lot a team was hired that consisted of the best of the best in the industry to create what is know as " True Devotion" 1976 Chevy Caprice. The first step was to create a canvas for the gran masterpiece. The canvas was prepped by eliminating the handles, side moldings adding dual french antennas, hollywood top, suiciding the trunk and adding a blue foundation with rainbow metal flake. Now that the canvas was ready, the artist began his work adding scallops, ribbons, graphics and little secrets of the trade using various mixes of kandy purple, blue, yellow, magenta & few custom created colors. No true Lowrider would be complete with out murals, so three murals beautifully add life to it all. More than eight hours were invested on the highly detailed roses that decorate the side panels. The reverse opening trunk also serves as a canvas for the highly detailed mural of the Virgen Mary looking over the famous Chicago lake front.

Now that the exterior was taken car of, the interior was next on the list. Wanting to accent the interior but not sacrifice comfort & luxury the Caprice is so famous for, it was decided the stock interior would be used but given a lowrider treatment. Many yards of carefully chosen heavy duty elegant dark blue velvet material was used to create an interior fit for royalty. The famous chain steering wheel add accent to the blue buscuit tuck interior & the gold plates under the dash hold eight gold switches. Two of the switches control the power windows & the other six give you access to dance in front to back side to side motions.

Once the car was completed it was ready to take the show by storm and it sure did with many best of shows, best paint and dominating the show world for many years but after 10 years of competition the time had arrived to raise the bar. In 1993-94 season the car would go under a transformation that at the time was unheard of, a fully detailed undercarriage with painted floor, frame & triple chrome plate everything!

Plans went on the way to not only do a full complete undercarriage but also a highly detail engine compartment. The car was put on stands & fully disassembled of its engine & complete undercarriage. Parts were prepped & every chrome trim removed to be shipped out for triple show quality chrome plating. One thing let to another and soon the project was put on the back burner, interest was lost and properly stored for years.

In 2000 this gem was discovered in amazing shape. So now it was time to finish what the previous owner dreamed of but it would be another eight years before this car would finally reclaim its glory.The engine (400 small block) was fully rebuilt painted (blue with metal flake) & fully dressed in chrome. The transmission was also rebuilt, dressed in chrome accents & painted to match the engine. the front & rear suspension was fully rebuilt & triple chrome plated. New radiator, booster, calipers were painted to match. New custom dual exhaust with glass packs attached to ceramic coated shorty headers for that true lowrider sound (low toned for cruising & aggressive at the flooring of the accelerator. Car has now been featured in magazine, music videos and many articles. Due to the age of car there is some chips in paint but still does very well in car shows. My intentions for car was to be a dependable cruiser not a trailer queen, plus I think that as in the scars of life the chips give the car character. If it is a true 1970's lowrider you are looking for you have found it.

Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge

Sat, Sep 9 2017

Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.
