I am selling my 1966 Chevy II SS 118 VIN car that has been mine for over 30 years. It was restored starting in 1982 when I was 14 years old and was mostly completed in 1986 with was my senior year in High School. I showed it at local shows as well as the well known St. Ignace car shows until I went to college in 1989. I came home on a weekend and was out with friends street racing when I hurt the small block that was in it. We hauled it home to my dads shop and that is where it has spent the last 23 years until last September. I have spent the last year rebuilding the drivetrain and interior with all new stuff. I had the SBC 406 (est. 670 hp) built by Rick LaPouttre at LaPouttre Racing Heads and Engines. He used a 509 casting GM block with 13.5:1 Speed Pro pistons and topped it off with Brodix Track 1 heads with meticulous work done to the bowls and ports. The transmission is a TH350 with green clutches and Kevlar band. The driveshaft is rebuilt as well as the differential using Richmond gears, mini spool and Moser axles. New  BFG tires on the rear also. It has all new interior and could use paint on the exterior (has some cracking). The chassis is super solid and has not been cut up. If you have any question, do not hesitate to contact me via ebay messaging. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION FOR ANY REASON DUE TO PAST EXPERIENCES. Thanks for your interest.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
