You are looking at a beautiful1966 chevelle Resto-mod custom. I purchased the car out of Texas a few years ago as a gift for my wife. It is just as it was when I purchased. The only thing I changed was the oil and a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.
This car has been completely gone thru by the previous owner. I have put this car on my lift and closely inspected all the running gear. The only thing I noticed was that one of the steering links is slightly rubbing on the custom aluminum oil pan. I took detailed pictures of the underside of the car. My wife only put a couple thousand miles on this vehicle in the last couple years. The dash gauges were replaced by the previous owner before I purchased the vehicle. The odometer reads 3713 miles. Which I am sure is not the original miles. I assume this reflects the mileage since the restomod. Seeing as how the whole driveline has been upgraded and replaced, I guess the 3700 miles is accurate. The vehicle runs and drives like a new car. I did a close inspection the other day and attempted to make note of everything that was upgraded and replaced by the previous owner. Someone spent some serious cash on parts for this restomod. Here is what I came up with for a list.

Drivetrain:

The engine is a late model LS-1 5.7L transplanted from a Corvette using a TurnKey LS conversion kit. It has a K&N cold air intake filter and is cooled by an AFCO aluminum racing radiator.

The transmission is a floor shifted 4 speed automatic with torque converter lockout.

The rear axle seems to be an LPW Ultimate60 series rear end with posi trac. Not sure of gearing, but it goes down the highway perfectly.

The rear axle has a disk brake conversion. The pads and rotors are in great shape.

The front brakes have been upgraded with a BAER big brake conversion. These pads and rotors are like new as well.

Suspension:

Air Ride Systems airbag suspension with compressor and tank mounted in the upper level area of the trunk(behind rear seat backs).

The front suspension consists of tubular upper and lower control arms with Firestone Airbags and Hotchkis steering links.

The rear suspension is also a tubular four link supplied by Strong Arm, and utilizes Firestone airbags as well.

Exhaust:

The Hooker ceramic coated Competition Plus Headers flow into a 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust system with balancing H pipe, the exhaust terminates out the side behind the rear wheels... just as it should.

Plumbing and Tanks:

All the lines on this car are either stainless steel hardline or stainless braided with A&N style anodized aluminum fittings.

The gas tank is a polished stainless steel. It appears the fuel pump is located inside the tank.

The radiator overflow catch tank is a polished aluminum.

Gauges/Stereo/Electrical:

It appears that the original wiring was replaced with a Painless Wiring Harness.

The stereo is an Ipod compatable CD player with 6X9 speakers in the back and 5" fronts mounted in custom enclosures down by the kick panel.

The entire dash panel which houses the gauges, has been replaced with a custom molded, unit with an aluminum appearance. This piece houses a complete Autometer Pro Comp white faced gauge cluster. Looks very clean and professional.

The Optima style Excide battery is located in the trunk with a disconnect switch mounted in the carpeted cover panel. I do not have the switch connected.

Wheels and Tires:

The wheels are 18" Boyd Coddington front and rear with brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.

275/35 ZR18 Rear

225/40 ZR18 Front

I also have the original Yokahama performance tires which came with the car. They are in great condition I just always run Michelins on all my vehicles.

Interior/Exterior

The entire interior of this car has been redone. The seats, carpet, Doorcards and headliner are like new. The only thing i noticed is that the chrome striping on the door cards is peeling a little bit. I have seen this before on reproduction parts. Also, the headliner, while NEW, seems to have a little slack towards the rear window section of the car. Not bad, just wanted to give an honest description of the condition.

It looks like all the rubbers and seals have been replaced. Doors/windows/felts and trunk.

The original steering column has been replaced with a newer Tilt unit that has a Grant steering wheel attached.

If you open up the glove compartment door, you will notice the box has been deleted to make room for the aftermarket air conditioning system. The A/C blows ice cold.

There is storage in the center console which also houses a tick tock clock and smooth operating automatic shifter.

I peeled back a section of carpet and discovered that the floor has been completely Dynamated for sound deadening and thermal insulation.

The trunk has been completely carpeted with material that matches the interior of the car. Custom panels have been fabricated and carpeted to hide the battery and tail lights.

All the exterior bright work is beautiful, Bright Shiny and Straight.

The exterior of the car has been painted a beautiful metallic Blue. The paint looks "good" not great. I think a little more effort could have been given on the final sanding of the bodywork. I am very picky, I am sure to most people it looks fantastic. I did notice a small section at the bottom of one of the front fenders had signs of small blisters. This car has been kept in a climate controlled garage whenever it's not being driven. I'm pretty sure my wife never even took it out in the rain.

The engine compartment is absolutely spotless. All wiring and hoses have been routed neatly and correctly to make for a nice clean presentation.

The car is badged as a 396SS. Which it is obviously not. I believe this car probably began life as a Malibu, This fact is reflected in the very reasonable reserve I have set.

I have done my best to give you an accurate description of this resto-mod Chevelle. Please look over the pictures and feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Please don't bother bidding if you have less than 10 transactions without contact me first.

While shipping and or transport is your responsibility I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

Good luck bidding!

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who 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.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
