This 1974 Chevelle Laguna S-3 may not be the prettiest to look at, but if you have ever heard the phrase looks can be deceiving, it was about this car. The paint is original, as is the interior. There is nothing hiding on this car, no one has packed the rust spots full of filler or made a 2" dent smooth with putty. Its a good, honest, original, 1974 Chevelle on the outside. The paint is checking and there is rust around the wheel arches, however the wheel houses, floor, and frame are perfect. The last time this car was on the road, before we rebuilt her, was in 1984. We at Acme Rods have been doing restorations for 15 years, from concourse correct cars to wild hot rods we will build them all. When this came into the shop last year I had to do a double take, think about it when is the last time you saw one of these cars, they all died a slow death. This car is an original 454 equipped S-3 factory turbo 400, with the rare for its day 3.42 rear gear with a positraction carrier. This is a low production number car thanks to the gas crunch! The original 454 was missing, but the rest of the car was a time capsule. So as the customer requested we built another 454 to reside between the fenders. Now a lot has changed since 1974 in the world of performance engines, thank goodness. This particular 454 has been warmed up a little shall we say. It has an aftermarket cam, Aluminum intake, tube headers, Edelbrock carb, and an HEI ignition thrown into the mix. All of these parts went onto a freshly machined block, rotating assembly, and heads. It retains a standard bore and crank, so plenty of life left on all the internal parts. This package made 464hp and 527trq. Make no mistake this car has more power than you will need. The exhaust is all new and has Magnaflow mufflers. Its loud, it drinks a lot of gas, and it will eat tires off quickly. This is not a daily driver type of car, its angry, ugly, and will annoy anyone that does not like hot rods. Just how we like em here at Acme! The driveline has been completely gone through. Trans was serviced, rear end rebuilt, brakes replaced including lines and master cylinder, and any steering components that needed replaced were. The wiring was sub par to say the least, so a complete painless harness was installed, while the dash was out to convert the fuse block over an new heater core was installed. The rest of the electrical system received treatment too, new alternator, starter, and battery. A new radiator was fitted also. The interior is original, it has rips and holes here and there but its original and completely intact. It still has the original carpet in it. What redeems the interior is the swivel front bucket seats, those are just flat cool. We are selling this for our customer so he can fund his next build. Now before you go jumping into a bid do the research, these cars are climbing in value quickly now. Also, be aware this car will offend someone you know, it just part of its nature, if you are ok with that ( chances are you know exactly which person that will be) then by all means go for it. If you have any further questions please ask them, we answer everyone of them. We want you to be happy with your purchase and confident in the work we have done, we like repeat customers and have a following of them! |

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
2015 Chevrolet Silverado Custom glitzes up volume model [UPDATE]
Thu, Feb 12 2015UPDATE: The original prices listed in Chevrolet's press release did include destination charging, despite not being specifically called out as such. We've edited the story to reflect this. The Chicago Auto Show's reputation as the home of special edition debuts grows stronger today, as Chevrolet is complementing the news that it'd unveil the Silverado Midnight Edtion and Colorado GearOn special editions in the Windy City with the debut of the Silverado Custom. And yes, it's different than the higher-spec Custom Sport that debuted just last month in Detroit. What's so custom about the Silverado Custom, you ask? Well, not a whole lot. The new truck is based on the popular Silverado LS Double Cab, and adds, among its most noteworthy features, a set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels. From there, chrome is the order of the day, with shinier front and rear bumpers, mirror caps and door handles. The top portion of the front bumper, which is finished in black plastic on the standard LS, is matched to the body color on the Custom model. Standard LS interior features, like the 4.2-inch MyLink system with 4G LTE wireless internet, 40/20/40 cloth front seats, remain in place on the Custom, while it's a similar story with the powertrain. Choices below the sheetmetal will force buyers to choose between a 5.3-liter V8 or a standard 4.3-liter V6, and two- or four-wheel drive. Chevy is pricing a V8-equipped Silverado Custom 4x2 at $33,820 (including $1,195 in destination charges). Adding four-wheel drive brings the price up at $37,800, although as we said, selecting the 4.3-liter V6 will yield a more affordable Custom. Check out the full press release on the newest member of the Silverado clan, available below. 2015 Silverado Custom: Back to Basics, with Style $33,820 starting price for a well-equipped double-cab V-8 CHICAGO – Chevrolet takes aim at the heart of the pickup market with the Silverado Custom, which offers Chevy Truck capability and dependability in a stylish package, priced within reach of many truck customers. "The economic recovery has led to booming sales of high-end pickups like the Silverado High Country," said Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevy Trucks. "But there are also millions of customers in the heart of the market who want a great looking, well-equipped truck at an affordable price.
GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories
Sat, Feb 29 2020DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
