I have owned this car for 26 years. Recently finished it just the way I want it. I am a car builder, which separates this car from many if not all others out there. There is so much to list on this frame off resto. I'll give the basics but a phone call would help to really fill in the details.
Zero rust on fully redone body. Including hand rolled 18 ga. cold rolled door skins. Inner door bottoms, quarters, head light caps. All new rubber and seals. All new metal. Minimal body fill--bring a magnet!! Paint is 3 stage ppg, base and clear. Super cool taillights that light up in diamonds. Original fuel tank is accessed through trunk, like a fuel ell.
Suspension is one of the very special features. As a hot rod builder I build cars for customers who want to go fast down the track. I too want to go fast down the track, but the car was built for street. Tubular A arms, front and rear Nascar torsion bar suspension--not plain old steel sway bars with rubber bushings. The weight transfer of this machine is outstanding. Handles as if on rails. It is a truly unique driving experience in a car like this. Solid strut links from rear end and to frame so the power gets to the ground.
Big block Chevy bored to 468. Balanced and Blueprinted at Kerslake Machine in Maple Valley Washington. Forged TRW pistons. Edelbrock Aluminum heads with FULL port and polish, 3/8 Manley Stainless steel valves. Elelbrock Air Gap intake with 750 double pumper. HEI with MSD ignition. Custom Hooker stepped headers ceramicoated and wrapped. Custom built aluminum firewall. Crane solid roller cam and gold race solid lifters. Crane Gold roller rocker arms, making it a true roller valve train. Flowmaster dual exhaust. HI flow cooling system with Be Cool Alminum Radiatior and dual fans. This motor will never bust 200 degrees, under the hardest driving. All new electrical. Every circuit hand wired and fuse protected. 2 speed wipers with delay, Desert cooler Heater system. Billet aluminum Specialties wheels front and back with new rubber. Ididit column.
Muncie 4 speed M22. aka, rock crusher with cast iron mid plate and new Italian gear set. hurst Shifter with line lock. Shortened Ford 9"with Moser axles and Detroit locker. Currently running 4 11's but a set of 3 90s come with it. As you can tell, no expense was spared with this build, as it was built for me, by me. The interior is bone stock, just the way it should be. I just don't see the logic in padding these interiors with foam and leather and center consoles and digital gauges. YUCK!! There is a small tear on the drivers bench seat. All new headliner, carpet, custom sewn door panels, new window regulators. And of course the car is layered with Fat Mat noise cancelling--floors, doors, even the roof. The bumpers are nice but have a couple of rust spots, and two of the fender trim pieces have small bends in them. This is minor but I want to give full disclosure so there are no surprises. Laser straight body, perfect door lines.
This motor desktop dynoned at 565 hp and 595 lb of torque. It is a monster when it needs to be, and a nice cruiser when it needs to be. Again, this is not a Vegas project that was whipped together to flip. This is a lifelong build. Unfortunately, I have some major health issues and am forced to sell her. MY heart is broken but I'm hoping she lands in the right hands.
thanks for looking and God bless.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady
Mon, Nov 3 2014Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon. For now, we await your comments, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
