Hello, Up for auction is a 1971 Chevrolet Elcamino Project. This is a Non A/C car. This car was pulled out of a barn after sitting for 28 years. it does not run but the engine does turn over by hand. The couple i bough it from assured me it was a perfect running car when it was parked.so I would think a good tank cleaning and fresh gas it should fire right up. It has the original 350 with a turbo 350 Trans. Also has a 12 bolt posi rear end. It does have 8" corvette Rally wheels. One does need a tire that's why there is a cragar on in the pictures. The car will need a complete restoration to be perfect. However it is a solid one to start with. The body is in really good shape for the year. It has a really nice vinyl top. The bed has no rust in it. Front fenders are a little soft at the bottom and passenger fender appears to have some filler in it. The interior is in pretty good shape. The dash has no cracks and with a good wipe down it would look great. The door panels are in nice shape. the bucket seats are not original to the car. We believe they are out of a cuda The carpet is in good shape. the only thing the interior really needs is a good cleaning and a head liner. The headliner is there its just ripped. Underside of the car is pretty much solid besides a rust spot the size of a quarter on the passenger side. The frame on this does have rust where the rear trailing arms connect. when I noticed this I started looking for a good frame to put under it. I found another 71 that was out of California and was pretty much a parts car though solid. So in addition to the red and black 71 you get a ton of extra parts. Most important is the frame. it is a complete rolling rust free frame. It does have the front disc break set up on it. The red one has drums in the front so that is a plus when its switched over. The extra frame also has a 10 bolt rear end. I have made a list of the extra parts included with the sale. and have  taken pictures of everything. So with this sale you get the complete Red and Black 71 and all these extra parts:

1 Complete rolling frame with disc breaks and break booster/Master cylinder & 10 bolt rear end.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
