Featured is a fully restored 1966 Chevelle convertible, modified by award winning Miranda Built in Delray Beach
Florida.
This 66 Chevelle has been tastefully built. With its straight, smooth long body panels finished in gloss back, and
its classy “stock” white vinyl interior, this Chevelle turns heads EVERYWHERE!!
While this 66 Chevelle is sitting front row via valet, crowds periodically develop, as I watch from my outside
dining location. People pointing, looking, admiring. My family and I attempt to leave, as a crowd develops,
waiting to hear what sounds erupt from the exhaust. My wife leans in, stating, “I feel like I’m with the
President.” The engine fires, and the motor bumps with the sounds of an oversized CAM. Even the valet
attendants group together and stare. Upon saying a final good bye, a valet attendant states that they see
Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s every day. But, seeing a car like that, is few and far between. This is just one
example of what you can expect in this 66 Chevelle Convertible. I won’t even get into what getting fuel is like
at gas stations.
Some builds are under done, by putting lipstick on a pig. Others are overdone, in whereas there is no resemblance
of what the car is meant to be……a 1966 Chevelle……not a 2017 Chevelle. This 1966 Chevelle has the best of
both worlds. A modern powertrain, with a modern suspension. Allowing you to cruise comfortably down the highway
at 70-75 MPH at 2,500 RPM……unlike a stock 66 that would be running upwards to 4,000 RMP at that speed. All,
while keeping to an original build feel with a factory interior and unmodified body.
This 1966 Chevelle Convertible is in need of absolutely nothing. It is, and has been, fully serviced by Miranda
Built.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
