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.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next 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.

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
