This is not your grandfathers 55 Chevy.

I built this car starting with a bare frame. I built a rottissary to swivel the frame at a comfortable height.

There was no rust in the frame or body at all. This car was a race car since the 60's. The wheel lips in the rear are rolled leaded in.

Every suspension item was sand blasted and either powder coated or painted.  Al new springs, ball joints, bushings etc....

Front disc brakes, drum in the rear.

This car was featured in Hotrod magazine June 2004.... Titled The Lost Look  ... you can look it up.

Also featured on Hotrod shows on television.

I built the wiring harness to NASA specifications. There is not an old wire anywhere.

My intention was to build a 60's Hotrod like the American Graffiti car and Two Lane Blacktop.

The body was painted off the frame top and bottom. I have a massive photo album shoing the build.

I also have a massive receipt book showing every dime spent on the car. I have receipts exceeding 60,000 dollars.

This is a fun car to drive. The nitrous is installed but not hooked up or ever used.

The motor runs on pump gas, 9.5 to 1 compression ratio, Crane 280 camshaft. Hyperutectic pistons.

The transmission is a reverse body manual TCI, bullet proof to about 600 horsepower.

I guestimate the motor to be about 500 HP or so.

NO side windows except for the wind wings. No radio, no heater.

Runs perfect, no issues, no leaks.....This is an iconic car to drive. No others like it at your local cars shows.

I have taken first place in local shows and several times and I am always urged to bring it out.

The car has been garaged since day one, you can eat off the bottom of it....it is in perfect condition.

Health forces sale.....I hate to get rid of it....But I hope it goes to a deserving new owner.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

GM re-recalls 11k SUVs

Tue, Oct 13 2015

General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component.

Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Dec 15 2016

Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
