I bought the car from a fellow here in California who I was told from the 2nd owner. The car was built in Kansas when new and then came out to California and stayed here in the Bay Area. The car was rust free and all original sheet metal and Trim, Still intact was the six pot metal front trim (will get into that later in write up) The car was factory Gypsy Red and Shoreline Beige (See Cowl Tag). All original sheet metal and no rust. Body shop took time and pride when blocking and painting. I had all the Stainless Steel moldings professionally buffed and polished. I spent $1700 to have the Liftgate rechrome and strighten (Pot Metal) and $2000 to have the six original pot metal trim restored and rechromed (Doors, Fenders, Eyebrows).

New dash trim and speedo, beautiful original restored steering wheel. I installed all sound deadener inside of car,(floors,roof) The fellow who dose my interiors bought the Daytona Carpet yardage and sewed up to a custom look. He also built up the seats before installing the The original Nomad interior. The perforated headliner was also made from original material, No WRINKLES, I installed USA1 radio with the usb port, sounds nice. I installed Classic Auto Air Condition that blows COLD. The photo's of the interior will tell it all. So many complements. CHASSIS-The chassis is competly restored, I install power Disc Brake's in front and all new drum in back, all new suspension was installed, Would would think it had power steering, All new custom exhust system was installed, sounds great.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A 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?

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
