This is the ultimate muscle car! The custom built high performance 383 small block V8 in this car was built by Proformance Unlimited in 2009 and has seen less than 1000 miles since. As can be seen in the picture of the invoice the engine and transmission cost was $9500. Amazing race engine sound and performance but made for driving. Backed up by a new TH 350 transmission with a high stall converter. In the pictures I have included the invoice from the custom engine and transmission build that lists all of the parts and specs of the build. I even have the video of the engine being tested on the dyno. Additionally, this car is installed with a new, custom aluminum radiator. While the engine is big and powerful, the radiator keeps the engine very cool. The vehicle originally had a gear shift mounted on the column, but it has since been replaced with a T-Shift on the floor. Mechanically, it is pretty much ready! I converted the rear drum brakes to disc and installed drilled and slotted rotors and CPP calipers. The matching front rotors and calipers are sold with the car so a simple 2 hour install job. I also installed a rear torsion bar to help stabilize the entire car. All new front stabilizer urethane bushings sold with car as well. It is a true muscle car! For the new owner, this will be a paint job and interior project to finish up this muscle car beauty. Talking interior, the front bench seat was replaced with two bucket seats out of a vehicle from the same era while the rear bench seat remains original. The headliner and carpet is original and in good shape. As the condition description mentioned, there are very few dents and scratches on the vehicle. Out of these few, all are very minor. The chrome is not in bad shape. Nothing a little polish cant handle. I installed a new custom grill as well. There is no rust on this car anywhere, even the frame is rust free. I bought this project car when i saw how rust free it was. Clearly never seen salt. Lastly, the vehicle is rolling on Boyd Coddington wheels and Toyo Tires. The wheels are absolutely gorgeous and will look amazing on a fully restored muscle car. Take some time to check out the pictures I have uploaded so you can see all of this for yourself. I am selling this vehicle because I have moved my hobby from cars to planes and I do not think that I will ever get around to finishing this project. If you have any questions please contact me by email or phone. My cell number is 630-338-5143. Only serious buyers please!

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We'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.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
