1955 Chevy Bel-Air 2 door, no post, frame off restoration with a high attention to detail. 
Where to start?  About 5 years ago, the body was taken off the frame, sand blasted to metal.   All body work and paint was done off the frame and it is very nice.  Base coat clear. 

Motor & Trans:
2004 GTO LS1 with only 48,000 miles on it.  4L60E automatic transmission out of the same car.  It has the factory belt set up with a Vintage A/C bracket & compressor.   
4" polished cold air intake set up with a nice filter.
Sanderson coated headers out to true dual flow-masters 40 series out the back.  Sounds awesome.
Custom made stand alone wire harness and re-flashed ECM.  Everything works and has a functioning check engine light.  Any shop can scan the car, watch data & codes. 
2013 Custom camaro engine cover.  Trimmed and fits very nice. 

Cooling system:
Custom made aluminum radiator with dual electric fans controlled by the computer. You can drive this car with the a/c in 100 deg. all day long and she runs cool.
It is mounted to a custom Billet radiator support and a/c condenser.  Very expensive and polished for show. 

Rear End:
Custom ford 9" with 4 link, coil over set up.  It is connected to the transmission with a custom made drive shaft that was also chromed. 
It has 3:89 Posi set up.

Suspension:
Besides the motor & trans and maybe the paint & body, this is the best part of the car.  It handles like or better then a new Corvette.

Every nut & bolt is new.  Either painted or stainless.

There is way to much detail to see in pictures.   This is one car that looks better in person then in pictures.  If you can beleave that. 

The only thing not working as of right now is the E-brake.   I will try to have it done before auction ends. 
This car has been in a couple car shows and has won builders choice. 
This car was built to show and drive.  Fly in and drive it home.    It has about 850 trouble free miles on her since completion.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles

Sun, Jan 4 2015

When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
