396 with a a mild cam ( Fresh Rebuild )

Turbo 400 Trans

4:11 Posi Rear End

Power Steering, Power Brakes ( Front Disc ), A/C ( Not charged )

This car was completed approximately five years ago, but has only been driven about  100 miles since. The car came out of Texas and was not in that bad of shape to start with, I have included some pictures of the car in its original condition. I have also included a couple pics of the car being restored. I have 40 or so photos of that process, that will be included with the sale of the car.

BODY : The body was soda stripped, see pics. As you can tell this was a very solid car. The stripping, body work, and paint work was done professionally. Quarter Panels and Fenders are new. The Wheel Houses are original. It was painted GM Color Code 75 ( Fire Red ). Base Coat / Clear Coat. This paint looks fantastic! The only flaw is a chip along the edge of the hood, where it meets the fender. The hood must have rubbed. I am in the process of getting some touch up and will include it with the car. The bumpers are the originals and have been re-chromed ( look great ). The handles and other chrome is average. Rocker moldings are not on the car. The underside and frame was also painted, see pics.

INTERIOR : All new, Looks Perfect!  I have nothing negative to report on this interior. Please notice there are aftermarket gauges.

ENGINE : 396 with a Mild Cam. It was rebuilt at the time of the resto. It has never been on a Dyno, so I do not have any horsepower numbers to report. Runs Out strong and FAST!! Serpentine Belt System. The A/C has never been charged since the resto.

WHEELS : SS Wheels with New BFG Tires.

This is your chance to own a VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN MUSCLE!! There is over 40 Grand invested in this car. You could never come close to building one yourself, for the Buy it Now Price. There a couple of minor things left to do : The cowl induction hood was never hooked up, all the parts are here. Also, the Odometer and Speedometer are not working because the cable was never installed ( I do have the parts )

TERMS : This is a private party transaction. Clear title in hand. $1,000.00 Deposit Thru Paypal Only,  within 24 hours of auction close. Cash is accepted or a bank check for the balance. Balance must be received within 3 days of auction close. All Checks need time to clear, before vehicle will be released. These are the ONLY terms that will be accepted. Thank You.

TRADES : Not interested in any high dollar amount trades, but if you are a few grand short, I would consider something that is worth $5,000.00 or less.

I believe I have told you everything I know about this car, but if you have questions, please call me at 708.927.9990 ( Tim )

THANKS!

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet

Tue, May 9 2017

When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
