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..

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 17 2016

We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
