Double Nickel 55 Chevrolet BelAir
This amazing 2-door sedan has a 40+ year history as a rust free Alberta car and has just received an over the top 2-year rotisserie restoration with no expense having been spared. Appraised at $265,500.00 there is no other like it, and it would cost more than a quarter million to have a shop duplicate this Hot Rod 55 for you. The car is an all original sheet metal build that was stripped to bare metal and built with the highest degree to detail throughout. It's equipped with a street friendly big block making over 713hp and an amazing 732 foot pounds of torque. Here's the short list of options:
Big Block Chev 565ci Dart Big M Engine
Tremec T-56 Magnum 6 Speed Manual Transmission
Currie 9" Locker Differential with Strange 35 Spline Axles
Pro Stock 4-Link Rear with QA1 Coil Over Shocks
Heidts Tubular Front Suspension with QA1 Coil Overs
Hydra-Tech Power Brakes with Wilwood Master
Wilwood 4-wheel Disk Brakes w/ Drilled Slotted Rotors
Weld Classic RT Wheels with Hoosier Pro Street Tires
House of Kolor 3-Stage Paint w/ Professional Cut& Polish
Custom Leather Interior with Art Morrison 8 Point Cage
Stainless Return Fuel System with Aeromotive A-1000 Pump
Ricks 22 Gallon Stainless Steel Tank with Filler in Taillight
Tinted Glass, Restored Polished Original Stainless
Power Windows, Remote Controls, Professional Audio
Extensive on board electronics, professionally wired.
The list goes on and on...and so does the custom stuff!
The car starts instantly, is very easy to drive, makes phenomenal power and will literally stop on a dime. It cruises at 2000 rpm while doing 75 mph and averages 12 mpg highway. I built the car from scratch with the help of a few friends while the body,paint and upholstery were handled by the pros. I have all receipts, pictures and technical info for the entire build. It was completed in June 2013 and I just finished working out the bugs where the car is ready to go into a collection and become somebody else's favorite hot rod. Awards and wins at major shows include numerous best in class, outstanding in class, outstanding paint, best engine, outstanding detail, best interior, outstanding street machine, peoples choice awards, and the list goes on.
This is a high end build for the "serious" hot rod collector. I will openly discuss the possible sale with those who "have the means" to own it and will consider a partial or group trade on late 60's muscle cars, a TriFive 4x4, 30's Hot Rod, or original Chevrolet survivor cars. No interest in anything after 1972 and no interest in bikes, projects or basket cases. This car is also advertised locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at anytime should a private sale be made. Payment by direct bank to bank wire is required and payment subject to bank clearing times before vehicle is picked up or shipped. I will work with overseas buyers to have the car shipped to a suitable port of entry for shipping by sea carrier. Serious collectors can call me direct at 403-669-4035 between 10AM and 10PM Mountain Standard Time. My time is valuable as I'm sure your is, so please, lets not waste anyone's time.

I've had a bunch of questions about the car so here are some of the answers. Exhaust is all custom made with 321 Stainless Steel. Headers have 1/2" Stainless Flanges and they're a stepped design from 2" to 2-1/8" primaries with 3.5" merge collectors. There is 3" stainless tubes running to the rear bumpers with Hooker Aero Chamber Mufflers and V-Band connectors for quick release. The sound of the exhaust is very deep and throaty, and when you put your foot into it, it becomes very loud indeed. The steering is Rack & Pinion with a custom stainless tubular mount and polished stainless Borgeson shafts. Steers great and I had it aligned in June 2013 when the car was brought out. Brakes are power assist from the hydraulics and runs off the accumulator which is mounted behind the master cylinder (very responsive). The radiator is a PRC 2 row heavy duty aluminum rad and it runs with dual Spal 2300cfm 12" fans and a custom made shroud. I run with one fan around town and both fans when stuck in traffic. Runs in the 180 range with both fans when in thick traffic on a hot summer day. The rad, the support and the shroud have all been painted body color with House of Kolor paint to match the car. The cage within the car is from Art Morrison but has a few custom touches to fit it tight to the headliner. It was designed to be removable and can be taken out with very minimal work so that's not a problem. It's not tagged yet but can be done at anytime to meet NHRA certification. The car is capable of a 10.5 second quarter mile and hooks up very well. I has not been down the track yet but is track ready should the new owner decide to race the car on a given weekend.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
