BLUE RIDGE HOT RODS
1968 Camaro "Copperhead"

You are bidding on a "just completed" Custom 1968 Camaro, this was a two year project involving thousands of man hours as well as the best parts available in the custom car market today.
We began by totally replacing all sheet metal, including the floor, doors, quarter panels, hood, trunk, fenders, valances, inner fenders etc, this was done to ensure a quality build that was not littered with body filler.

Next we installed a Pro-Touring front chassis from Heidts which included tubular upper and lower control arms, a power rack and pinion conversion, polished aluminum coil-over shocks, and a set of Wilwood 14" six piston brakes that are cross drilled and slotted with polished calipers!
Moving to the rear we added an all new nine inch rear housing from Currie which includes 33 spline axles and a Detroit Locker that holds Richmond 3.42 gears, stopping power comes from Wilwood cross drilled and slotted discs with polished calipers, all of this is secured under the car a with Heidts "Pro-G" four link setup with polished aluminum coil-overs, all of which is tied in with Heidts subframe connectors.

Once the chassis was complete, we had Boze make a set of custom forged wheels that measure 20x12 in the rear and 19x9 up front, they were then ceramic coated with well placed polished accents..

 Power comes from a brand new GM 480HP LS3 Corvette engine, we dressed it up with polished aluminum drive accessories and bracketry as well as ceramic coated headers and custom coil covers.

The engine compartment is also home to dual Optima batteries, a custom polished aluminum cross-flow radiator, polished aluminum recovery tank, billet transmission cooler with braided lines, hi- flow electric fan with relay, custom fabricated wiper motor cover etc...
Harnessing the LS3 is the job of a brand new GM 6L80 six speed automatic transmission with tap-shift and rev-match programmed in.

Hundreds of hours were spent modifying the sheet metal to tastefully make the Camaro stand out in a crowd, changes include shaved door handles, shaved mirrors, shaved parking lamps, handmade front and rear fascias, handmade quarter panel and fender extensions, custom hood, handmade firewall, and probably the least noticed yet coolest body mod, we shrunk the front and rear glass openings and raised the glass so that it is flush mounted like the modern Camaro so we could ditch the bulky moldings..

Once the body was complete, we applied a custom mixed BASF Copper Pearl base, then added five coats of Hi-Solid BASF clear coat, once it baked it was wet sanded and hand buffed to a show car finish
On to the interior, we added custom power bucket seats up front, buckets seats in the rear, "all covered in black leather & black suede with nickel plated grommets", a custom water fall console that runs the entire length of the floor which holds power window switches, a GM shifter with tap-shift, LED lit cupholders, in-dash Navigation, custom billet A/C controller etc...

Other notables, all new wiring using 'Painless Products", all new wiper system from "Rain Gear", all new fuel lines, brake lines, glass, trim etc.. 
The list literally goes on and on, true car guys will know what they are looking at when they see it, it's ready to get in and drive cross country or to your favorite cruise night, hassle free and in style!

This is essentially an all new 1968 Camaro that was built using all of the modern drivetrain and creature comforts that make modern vehicles safe and fun to drive..
I will answer any and all questions..

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers

Sun, Oct 8 2017

Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Thu, Sep 18 2014

Chevrolet offers versions of its Express passenger van with B20 biodiesel and E85 capability. Customers can buy the van with the Duramax turbodiesel V8, which is compatible with the 20-percent biodiesel blend. There is also a FlexFuel V8, which can use the 85-percent ethanol gasoline blend. It's a great option for shuttling the whole soccer team to practice using renewable fuels. Read more at Domestic Fuels. Early buyers of the Cadillac ELR in Canada will get a 240-volt charger installed at their home for free. It should help convince some buyers to adopt the range extended luxury EV. Cadillac's Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus says, "Professional installation of the fastest home-charging unit is a natural way to mark the introduction of ELR to the luxury market." Read more in the press release below. Renovo has received venture capital funding from California-based True Ventures to build its Coupe electric supercar. The impressive EV, with its 500 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque, is an inspiring vehicle built by a promising company, according to its financial backers. Toni Schneider of True Ventures says that Renovo has "created incredibly advanced technology and a beautiful machine that is well positioned to disrupt the automotive market." Read more in the press release below. Renault says it will build its Fluence ZE electric car in China for an unnamed brand, pending government approval.

Germany has lifted its ban on Uber. While the German court believes the ride-hailing service is operating illegally without proper licensing for drivers, it says Taxi Deutschland waited too long to file the case against Uber. The taxi association plans to appeal the decision soon. See more in the video below, and read more at The New York Times. A new report from UC Davis claims that a global expansion of public transit could save 1,700 megatons of carbon dioxide yearly and over $100 trillion by 2050. A "high-shift scenario" would be necessary, wherein governments invest in rail and clean buses, expand biking and walking infrastructure and shift focus away from projects that encourage car use. This shift to public transit would especially be important in the US, China and India. Read more in the press release below.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
