Here is my 66 real deal Super Sport.  I bought this car about 15 yrs ago and stored it until restoration time 8yrs ago.   The car was made in Fremont California and was ordered with several options that most Super Sports do not have. During the restoration we determined that it was originally equipped with a black vinyl top and automatic.  The change to a 4spd was done exceptionally well, with correct tunnel support, pedals, linkage, clips etc. Other changes that were observed was a left rear quarter panel and drivers door replacement on the body, again done with professional results even down to the spot welds. It appears that it was hit early on in its life as the car has zero rust with super sano floors and trunk .  I also believe it to be have very low miles on it due to the condition of the A-Arm bushings, body mounts and other items that were removed for restoration. I purchased the car with its original A/C equipment, door panels, seats and carpet which I retained for date coding and authenticity.  It did not have an engine at purchase, so a 1966 Impala 396 complete engine, carb to pan with matching date codes for production was purchased and completely rebuilt.  The purchaser will get all the original items removed.  I also have pictures as purchased and during the restoration.  The car has A/C,PS,PB, PW,factory bumper guards not replated, factory air shocks original Delco, Headrest seats, and console.  The car has been stored in a heated/A/C garage since restoration with break in miles only. Where ever paint markings could be seen they were replicated.  It has new:

* exhaust

* full polygraphite A-arm bushings, sway bar, etc.

* new springs, shocks, universal joints, body mounts,

* the car retains its original factory brake lines, gas lines and clips did not restored or replaced.

* Engine, trans, clutch, rear gears 3:70 posi all new or rebuilt to exacting specifications

* All new Sofseal weatherstrips  

* New carpet, door panels, headliner, seat covers with original unrestored headrests, headliner with original

  sunvisors.

* Replated front and rear bumpers, bumper guards are original, hood scoop chrome is original

*Complete new brakes, including cylinders, lining, springs, clips etc.

 The car has been stored for several years, yet has been street driven during its rest with engine and drivetrain to full operating temps on a regular basis.   The engine has excellent oil pressure, the heads have hardened seats, starts and drives excellent with stock power brakes.  I did notice the power windows are a little slow from sitting, radio is not hooked up, has small stereo radio in glove box.Paint was done to replicate factory new in base clear coat  so it is not over restored. Vehicle is for sale locally, so I retain the right to remove this listing at anytime. Questions?? Let me know. Thanks for your bid.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
