Hello folks. Just to be perfectly honest and clear, I want to state up front that this car was born as a black over gray leather LT1 Caprice and although it resembles one, it is NOT an Impala SS. I bought this car from a Ford dealer in TN where it was traded in by its original owner. It has been in the south its whole life and is completely rust free. I wanted a sleeper, a fun, fast car that would fool people and ruin egos. I started by tearing down the top half of the engine and replaced the iron heads with stock aluminum LT1 heads off my '94 Z28. They were treated to a performance valve job and they've been bowl blended, pocket ported and gasket matched. I installed a Comp Cams 260XFI cam with 210/218 duration at .050" along with a full roller valvetrain using more parts from Comp and Crane. For those that don't know engine mods well, don't worry, this isn't a lopey race engine, its very streetable and was built to maximize torque for getting this heavy car moving. I used a thinner head gasket during the cylinder head install to bump the compression to 11:1, but it still runs fine on pump premium. The Opti-Spark distributor has been replaced along with an LT4 knock module and a Crane ignition box and coil. The exhaust is a 2.5" dual cat-back from Jegs, but with 50 series (the quiet ones) Flowmaster mufflers installed. The transmission has a custom torque converter matched to the cam and gearing. The stock drum brake rear end was replaced with a 3.08:1, 4-wheel disc rear end from a 9C1 police car. The diff was also replaced with a new Eaton Posi unit. I had my friend Reese Cox at MTI racing do a quickie tune on the car and it runs great. It does seem to pull a bit harder at 90% throttle than WOT so I know there's a lot left on the table with some more tuning. I've been meaning to take it back to MTI and get it on their dyno for a proper tune, but I haven't had a chance. It hasn't been down the track but seat-of-the-pants feels like it would run a mid 13. The car passes emissions here in GA with no problem at all. So there I was with my 13 second granny car covered in chrome and even sporting white wall tires when this (I'll bite my tongue here) woman sideswipes the RF door and fender. The damage was very minor, but I found a deal on a perfect door and fender from a black Impala SS so I used those parts so the car would have zero filler. Since the car was going to the body shop, I decided to change direction and make some tasteful modifications. I installed an Impala grill and spoiler, shaved the trunk lock cylinder and installed smooth urethane bumpers (not the cheap fiberglass ones). Magnum Collision in Marietta GA did the whole body respray and it came out beautiful. The wheels are 18" Centerline Lazers and the tires are Dunlop SP Sports 245/40r18 front and 275/35r18 rear and in good condition. The car has also been lowered with lowering springs in the rear and QA1 adjustable coil-overs in the front. The interior is in excellent condition with very good leather and only the driver's lower seat foam showing signs of wear. I think the carpet was replaced by the dealer I bought the car from because it doesn't fit quite as nice as I expect a factory carpet to. Overall, the interior is very nice, especially for a 19 year old car. The car is located in Kennesaw GA and I have a clean title in hand. I urge any serious buyers to inspect the car and test drive it themselves or arrange a pre-purchase inspection. This is very nice car with nothing to hide. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any more specific details or additional photos. Also available, but not included are an extensive collection of parts to take this car to the next level performance wise. The key items are a very high end 396 LT1 stroker with a Callies 4340 crank, Oliver billet rods and custom 2618 Ross forged pistons. No Chinese Eagle or Scat junk. I've also got an LT1 Camaro T-56 six speed manual transmission that I've rebuilt with a Dodge Viper main shaft along with many, but not all of the parts needed to install it. If interested, the sale of these items can be negotiated separately. |

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
Made in America | These cars top the most-American list
Mon, Dec 5 2022The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 — due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries — in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES. If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts." There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list: (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86 (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86 (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5 (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81 (4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5 (5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80 (5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80 (5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80 (5) Tesla Model Y: 80 (6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5 (6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5 (7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5 (8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5 (8) Ford Ranger: 77.5 (8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model S: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model X: 77.5 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee L LTD: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L: 77 (9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77 (10) Honda Odyssey: 76 (10) Honda Ridgeline: 76 (10) Honda Pilot: 76 There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.
Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
