First off, is it a real SS? Who knows, I don't have paper work on this car from the factory and there is no other way to tell that I know of. The engine is a 73 so that's not original for sure plus I know where the engine came from. When I got the car it had the SS fender emblems but since it had a 454 engine, and someone I know had the 454 emblems new, so I used them. It does have a lot of SS items on it such as the dash. Same on the mileage, it shows 53,500 but who know. Now for what I do know, this is a very good driver quality car in looks and performance ready for everyday use. Very little signs of rust, I had the lower section of both front fenders repaired and painted. On the lip of the trunk there has been some repair also. The rear quarters appear to be original and still have the vin number stamped in them. There is some spots on the hood like something was splattered on it, it dont show up on the stripes but on the body color, they might be wet sanded out, not sure, I should have had them touched up when I had the fenders done but didn't really think it looks that bad especially with a good coat of wax. I took a picture of hood area and there is not much wax on the car now so they should show up. There is also some other scratches that need to be touched up but normal stuff from driving and using. All in all a very presentable driver quality car. As for the interior I am sure most of it has been replaced, console has not been and has some scratches, no radio in the dash, ac control is in the dash but looks bad. Speedometer and gas gage works but has aftermarket gages for oil and water. Worse place on the interior is the edge of the rear side panel is wore off like someone got in and out of the back seat a lot or possible rubbed by driver. Has all the front belts and some of the back. Very good driver quality interior. As for the mechanical there is no know big issues, most of the ac equiptment is gone and one of the previous owners said they were getting ready to put a aftermarket system in it. That's probably the best way to go if you want ac. The engine is a 73 model 454 with 781 heads. It had a stock rebuild with maybe a torque cam. Its .020 over and has flat top stock pistons and internals with a .010/.010 crank. I added a high volume oil pump, reworked valve springs, and Howards cam with .525 lift. Engine was to mild for a muscle car. It sound great now with a good thump, works with 2000 street rod converter and is very drivable. Other engine improvments are a aluminum intake and good working 750 vac sec Holley carb. Most of the engine accessories are new, water pump, alternator, fuel pump, radiator, dist, plugs, wires, etc. Oil just changed and is ready to go. I don't know much about the turbo 400 but it has been modified some and works good, does not have the kick down hooked up so its better to manually shift it but you don't have to. Same on rear end, its a 12 bolt posi with 373 gears is what I was told and that appears to be correct, if anything a little higher like 3.55. Its good for cruising the highway. Has headers with dual flowmasters ending at rear axle, should have tail pipes but I like it. I have to many cars so I priced it reasonable for a cash sell but I might do some trading. Tri 5 Chevy straight axle gasser or other gassers would be on top of the list. I would listen to anything on a part trade.  I just bought a 55 chevy to build a street car from but if the right think came along I could sell it. I check my emails often so anything you want to know I will be glad to answer by email or I will call you if you prefer. I can deliver with in a couple hundred miles of north central Arkansas and can arrange delivery elsewhere if you need it. I prefer you come and look at the car and go for a cruise if you are interested. The car will probably be advertised other places also.  Thanks a lot for looking, Jerry

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan

Sat, Dec 6 2014

"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.
