This is a no reserve auction for my 1974 Chevy Laguna Type S-3. My parents are selling their house so I have nowhere to keep this car anymore, but I hate to sell it. I have had the car since high school as a project and weekend car, and over that time I have done tons and tons of work to it to create my vision of a muscle car. That is, being a streetable car that looks and sounds like a NASCAR car.

I bought the car from guy who owned a used car lot and had this car sitting in the back lot. It barely ran when I got it and was pretty rough, with a little work I got it running and had fun with it for a while until I decided that I wanted to get a little more power from it. I pulled the stock 400ci engine out and rebuilt it using SCAT connecting rods, an Eagle crank, Sealed Power pistons, a high lift cam, Holley Contender high rise intake with matching Carb, Corvette 327 "camel hump" heads, headers and a boom tube NASCAR exhaust. On paper, the car should be putting more than 400hp to the wheels, and it feels like it does.

Along with it, I had a custom turbo 400 trans built for me by Luke's Transmissions which has a semi-auto valve body and is good for more than 800hp.

We also did a custom interior with all new gauges, a racing style metal dashboard, racing buckets and cam lock seat belts.

The biggest attention getter is probably the suspension though. We purchased tubular upper and lower control arms that were directly off of a modern NASCAR Cup car and created custom mounts for them. This allows for a lot more adjustability and of course a better look. The uppers are stainless steel so they look great and are easy to keep clean.

The plan was to eventually put big brakes, posi-trac rear end with taller gears and do a nice paint job on it. Other than that the car is ready to go and is a current driver right now, it is even currently registered.

I have the clear CA title (pink slip) there are no paperwork issues, no back fees, NO salvage title, it's in my name, no problems, it's all good. Shipping is the buyers responsibility.

If you have any questions or want to schedule a time to look at the car, feel free to contact me. 714 8seven8 83one4, my name is Patrick.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Here's our 2016 Chevy Camaro mega-gallery, live from Belle Isle

Mon, May 18 2015

Nearly 1,000 enthusiasts headed to Belle Isle in Detroit last weekend to witness the reveal of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Couldn't make it? We've got the next-best thing. Here's a mega-gallery of everything that happened. We've got the reveal of the car in all three of the colors that were on display: red, blue, and gray. We take you under the hood and inside the cabin of this new muscle car. Plus, you can view the exterior from every angle. Then we returned the next day to test drive the Camaro. That was only for journalists, but these pictures are just like being there. And even if you made it to the Motor City this weekend, click through all of these shots to get a better sense of the sixth-generation Camaro. Related Video:
