*****1961 Impala Resto Mod***** Up for auction is one bad bubble top! This restomod 61 Impala has undergone a nut and bolt restoration with no expense spared. This car gets tons of attention and constant compliments everywhere it goes. Bubbletops are hot and this is your opportunity to own a great example. This car has just the right amount of modern upgrades and touches, but still retains alot of originality as well. It’s a great investment grade car that is sure to appreciate in the years to come. Its never going out of style and the demand for 61 hard tops isn’t going away any time soon! Exterior: The car was refinished in its original color combination and looks incredible. The paint was professionally done with no corners cut and it shows! The car was completely disassembled and taken down to bare metal. It was sprayed with the front clip off, glass out, and all parts painted separate. The firewall was striped and painted. The paint is very slick and has been sanded and buffed to a mirror finish. The car is nice and straight down the sides. The paint and body were done correctly with no expense spared. This car will look as good in 20 years from now as it does today if taken care of! This is not your average restored 61. This is a one repaint rust free car and retains all its original body parts. This is not a pieced together, patched up, previously rusty car that came from a field. This was a very dry solid and original survivor car prior to the restoration. When you start with a good car, they turn out that much better in the end! The doors open and close extremely well! Everything fits and lines up nicely. All the body gaps look good. The windows line up nice and the car seals up really well. The original front and rear bumpers were rechromed. The door handles, fender ornaments, hood emblem, trunk emblem, side emblems, side moldings, taillight bezels, headlight bezels, ect… were replaced with new. Interior: The interior of this bubbletop looks as good as the outside of the car! It was redone to original and everything was replaced. The fit is very nice. The seats, door panels, carpet, kick panels, package tray, dash emblem, dash trim, glove box, dash ash tray, shift lever, turn signal lever, door handles, window cranks, rear ash trays, speaker emblem, etc, were all replaced. The steering wheel was restored and looks great. The horn buttons were replated, new emblem, new chrome face bar, new chrome divider rings, and it was shit with base clear. The front windshield is the original easy eye tinted glass and is in very nice shape! The vent windows and door glass are new along with the chrome window frames. The car has working lights, turn signals, horn, speedometer, fuel gauge, temp gauge, wipers, cigarette lighter, heater, dash lights, interior lights, etc. Drivetrain: Under the hood you will find the original number matching powerpack 283. It has been completely rebuilt and upgraded for better performance and reliability. It has new polished intake, Edelbrock carb, billet HEI distributer, 110 amp alternator, billet specialties pulleys, Lokar cables, electric choke, ceramic coated headers, new valve covers, air cleaner, all new belts, hoses, Taylor wires, electric fan, new radiator, etc. Basically every single piece and part under the hood is new. Lots of time in detail work making the engine compartment look as clean as it does. No painted over bolts, no messy wiring, everything is nice and clean! The motor runs very well! It doesn’t knock, tick, leak, smoke, or do anything funny. It has plenty of power and sounds great! The entire exhaust system is brand new as well. The transmission is a freshly rebuilt late model aluminum powerglide. It shifts perfectly, downshifts as it should, and doesn’t leak! As you can see in the pics, the font frame rails were stripped bare and put back together with all new and upgraded parts and hardware. This was a very thorough restoration. Every clip, seal, nut, washer, bearing, etc on the entire car has been gone through. Everything mechanical on the car has been replaced or rebuilt. This car has power steering and steers very nice. Brakes: The brakes were upgraded to massive 14” c6 zo6 rotors with 4 piston calipers. The big brakes are powered by a Wilwood dual reservoir master cylinder with an adjustable proportioning valve. All new stainless steel brake lines were addes along with steel braided hoses. Suspension: The car gets it aggressive stance from a fully adjustable Accuair air ride suspension. This is not a cheap air ride kit. It has been professionally installed and everything was done nice and clean. It is has an Accuair digital ride height controller and can be adjusted on all 4 corners. There are gauges monitoring each corner mounted in the glove box. All the air ride components are neatly mounted in trunk. It has tubular upper and lower control arms that look killer and also help improve the ride and handling. All the suspensions components are new. The wheels and tires are new as well. They are Esajian Bolts, 18x8.5s in the front
and 20x10s in the rear. They are 2 piece
billets that were custom built by Esajian Wheel (www.esajianwheel.com) and fit
the car perfect! This car drives extremely well. Its tight, smooth, rides good, handles
good, sounds good, and looks damn good doing it! It cruise straight down the highway and feels good at 80 mph. Its very reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to get in it and head
across the country. It doesn't leak any
fluids and the air suspension is free of leaks.
The car does everything right! Overall, this is a great car and is going to make someone proud to
own it! Its a quality restoration with no corners cut. The parts on the car are high end parts. Theres lots of money in the suspension, brakes, wheels, parts under the hood, ect. I have owned many 61s and am a picky buyer. I pass on most the cars I look at and search

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
2016 Chevrolet Camaro First Drive [w/video]
Fri, Oct 16 2015The Autoblog gang was downright stoked to learn the 2016 Chevy Camaro was next on our test-car docket. Then we found out it was the V6 model. Buzzkill. We were hoping for the snorting V8, or at least the spunky new turbo four-cylinder. The V6? Meh. We've been driving V6 Camaros for, like, six years. It's what you buy if you can't afford anything better, or so say horsepower snobs as they wrinkle their noses and cut their coffee with 93 octane. But after a week with the six-pot Camaro, we'll admit it: we were wrong. The all-new 3.6-liter V6 is strong, sounds good, and is damn fun to drive. Its 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque appear modest by modern standards, but they power the Camaro to 60 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds with the automatic, or in the case of our manual-equipped test car, 5.2 seconds. That's almost half a second quicker than the new turbo four-cylinder model. Yes, it has the same displacement as the old V6. No, it's not the same engine. Upon closer inspection, the V6's potency shouldn't come as a surprise. This engine is from General Motors' newest family of dual-overhead cam powerplants that launched in the Cadillac CTS and ATS. Yes, it has the same displacement as the old V6. No, it's not the same engine. Don't be fooled, and don't underestimate it at stoplights. The strapping V6 is unsuspectingly good, but it's just one of many improvements for the sixth-generation Camaro. Chevy's coupe is lighter, faster, and more modern looking inside and out. It starts with a rear-wheel-drive chassis donated from the Cadillac ATS, though about 70 percent of the components are unique to the Camaro. The 2016 model is about two inches shorter in length (thanks to a shorter wheelbase) and about an inch has been removed from height and width compared to the 2015 model. These lighter underpinnings jumpstarted the Camaro's weight-loss plan, and thanks to extensive use of aluminum, the V6 with the new eight-speed automatic transmission weighs 3,435 pounds – 294 less than its predecessor (the manual-transmission V6 Camaro weighs 3,448 pounds). The V8, meanwhile, sheds 223 pounds. One by one, these elements would merely enhance how the Camaro drives, but taken collectively, they invigorate the new model. It feels much more confident and agile in all circumstances. Put simply, it's a sportier car.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro powers up, slims down
Sat, May 16 2015Don't be fooled by its familiar appearance, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is vastly different than its iconic predecessors. It has a new chassis, a fresh engine lineup, and is loaded with clever technologies that promise to invigorate and improve the sixth generation of Chevy's legendary sports car. It was revealed Saturday before a crowd of enthusiastic Camaro revelers on Belle Isle in Detroit. Redesigning the sports coupe was a heady task, especially as its archrivals, the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, drive better and are more powerful than ever. But the new Camaro is aiming to be the best combination of handling and raw performance, with quick acceleration and competitive fuel economy. "Redesigning the Camaro is thrilling and challenging all at once, but the secret is to offer something more," Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of product development, said in a statement. It all began with a weight-loss plan. The new Camaro shed more than 200 pounds compared with the outgoing car, with 133 pounds coming from a lighter body-in-white. Then engineers culled weight nearly everywhere, using aluminum for the instrumental panel frame and some suspension components to trim as much fat as possible. The slimmer body rests on new bones. The Camaro's rear-wheel-drive platform is lighter and stiffer in a bid to improve handling. It's a modified version of the underpinnings used by the Cadillac ATS, though about 70 percent of the architecture is unique to the Camaro. Chevy said structural rigidity is improved by 28 percent. As you'll see, healthy doses of Cadillac and Corvette technologies have been used to bolster the Camaro's drive character and performance. The new car is also expected to handle better thanks to a slightly smaller footprint. It is about two inches shorter in length, with most of that due to the more compact wheelbase. It's also an inch shorter in height and an inch slimmer in width. So yes, the Camaro will be leaner, but it will still be plenty mean. The Camaro SS tops the range (for now) with the Corvette's 6.2-liter V8 pushing put 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. Known as the LT1, is has a cast aluminum block and cast aluminum cylinder heads, and it's fortified with direct injection, variable valve timing, and cylinder deactivation. About 20 percent of the engine's parts are said to be unique to the Camaro, including the exhaust manifolds.
