My 59 chevy is my absolute everyday car. Its a reliable fun car to drive everyday. living in Texas the temp easily gets in the 100's all the time. This car doesnt over heat and runs great all the time. This is the Biscayne model of the 59. It came with vinyl floors and manuel windows. This was an upgraded model that originally had the 235L6 with 3 on the tree and the rare Overdrive. I drove it this way for a while, then one buddy drives it and poof.... Motor was cooked. So now it has a SBC 350 V8 and a 700R4 as its powerhouse. This is a perfect set up for daily highway use. I live on a toll road and cruise 80mph to and from work every day. Shifter was moved to the floor with a nice B&M shifter. I wanted this car so my family and I could all ride together. So i had brackets for my kids car seats installed in the rear bench, so they can just click into place. All floors are solid and rear bench has minor tear from age. front seat is fine. EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL inside. Because its a daily i had to have my tunes. I installed a Pioneer CD player with Bluetooth and ipod controls in the glovebox with speakers hidden under the dash and under the rear deck. Original radio still works but speaker is disconnected. I installed an IR repeater under the dash (hidden as well) so the glovebox doesnt have to be open to control the radio.

Installed a basic 2way paging alarm for security purposes. It has a static drop to the whole car. After tons of research about the X frames these cars were built on, most people recommended not buying the lowering springs, but cutting coils off originals. So coils were cut, with new shocks all the way around. Car floats down the highway. Driveshaft is a 2 piece set up and the carrier bearing is a beefy Billet heavy duty one. new brakes and lines. New Gas tank, All gauges work. Still has drums all the way around but stops great. Gets a whole lot of attention, and tons of remember when stories too. I had the dash striped at a show with colors to best match the paint. Its not really a show car in the condition it is now, but they sure do love it. This car didnt come with A/C but did however come with a strong factory fan and heater/defrost. Wipers work great as well. As a daily ive been in the cold the rain and hot summer days, which surprisingly this thing gets tons of air flow in the car even with the windows rolled up.

Dent on passenger fender when i got it and i never got it fixed. All glass is good except for drivers window has a crack but still solid. I was shocked at how easy it is to find parts for these cars. Not expensive at all.

15" wheels all around and with Yokohama Vulcanized white walls. Hush flow exhaust gives it that nice V8 rumble but isnt obnoxious for your passengers.

I HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THIS CAR THE BEST THAT I CAN IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME. I HAVE A VIDEO WALK AROUND AND TONS OF PICTURES AT YOUR REQUEST.

LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT THOSE FINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2016 Chevy Volt wins Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 19 2015

The award ceremony for the 2016 Green Car Of The Year announcement at the LA Auto Show today started with a joke video by juror Jay Leno. Showing of a restored and refurbished 100-year-old Detroit Electric EV, Leno said that while there were a lot of different powertrains in the running this year, he didn't expect any German diesels to win. Yuk yuk. There was no doubt that Leno was right; there were no diesels in the finalist's circle. The winner this year was the new, second-generation Chevy Volt, a plug-in hybrid with a 53-mile electric range and 106 MPGe. The first-gen car won the title five years ago, making the Volt the first model to be crowned Green Car Of The Yera more than once. The other finalists this year were the Audi A3 E-Tron, the new Toyota Prius, the Hyundai Sonata, and the Honda Civic. One of Green Car Journal's most important factors in deciding the winner is widespread availability, said Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan as he announced the award. Qualifying vehicles also have to be on sale by January 1st of the award year (in this case, 2016). For the record, AutoblogGreen readers also picked the Volt to win in our poll a few months ago with 42 percent of the vote. Second place was the Prius, with 21 percent. Earlier this year, Green Car Journal had to strip the awards from two diesel vehicles, the 2009 VW Jetta TDI, which won in 2008, and the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, the 2010 winner. We enjoyed our seat time in the new Volt, and you can read our review here. Related Video:

That time we lapped Indy with Tony Kanaan in a Corvette Z06

Sat, May 23 2015

We're here in Indianapolis, IN, attending this weekend's 99th running of the Indy 500. The big event happens tomorrow, but the city is buzzing today with all sorts of pre-race festivities. For us, that means checking out Indianapolis Motor Speedway a day early, and getting a hot lap around the racetrack in the official Indy 500 pace car – a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Our driver for the occasion is IndyCar racer Tony Kanaan, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 2013. Of course, he'll be competing tomorrow, leaving pace duties to none other than Jeff Gordon. Check out our minute-and-a-half-long lap of the Indy 500 track in the video above, where Kanaan hugs the wall in true race style, getting the Z06 past 150 miles per hour on the back straight. Stay tuned for more Indy 500 coverage later this weekend.

Chevy's latest Silverado videos assume we're idiots

Mon, Jul 6 2015

UPDATE: This article has been revised to reflect that any mention of materials used in a future Chevrolet Silverado is speculation. Can we have a sound, rational debate about the merits of aluminum versus steel? According to Chevrolet's latest marketing videos pitting the Silverado against the Ford F-150, the answer is no. The tone of all three ads is almost Orwellian: steel good, aluminum bad. Of course, this will all be a hilarious joke when an aluminum-bodied Silverado comes in 2018. That's an if, as a member of the General Motor public relations team has reminded me that any articles regarding future product are pure speculation. Until then Chevy needs to sell the current Silverado, with its body comprised chiefly of steel, against the Ford F-150's lightweight aluminum panels. Instead of touting the merits of the "most-dependable, longest lasting pickup," the strategy seems to center around negative propaganda towards the 13th element. The tone of all three ads is almost Orwellian: steel good, aluminum bad. Of the three videos, the most fair is Silverado vs. F-150 Repair Costs and Time: Howie Long Head to Head. Basically: aluminum costs more than steel, it's more difficult to repair, and requires special equipment for body shops. In terms of Chevy versus Ford, the blue oval truck costs more and takes longer to repair - an average of $1,755 more and 34 more days in the shop, according to the ad. But why stop there when you can have pitchman Howie Long raising an eyebrow at random facts? When Silverado Chief Engineer Eric Stanczak says of the Ford, "It's manufactured in a way that combines aluminum, rivets, and adhesive in a process that's different than Silverado." Long responds, "Huh. Interesting." At the end of the video, Long says "I'd be interested to know what happens to insurance costs." Note he's not saying anything substantive. If Chevy's legal team could sign off on some facts about insurance rates, it would be in this ad. On our Autoblog Cost to Own calculator, there is no significant difference in projected insurance costs between the two trucks. But at least that ad has facts. The other two videos are pure hype. In Cages: High Stength Steel, real people are asked what they think of aluminum and steel in a room with two cages. Then a bear is released into the room, and the subjects scurry to the safety of the steel cage.
