Only 1700 miles on new odometer since complete and total frame off nut and bolt build. 


700HP engine that started out as a big block tall deck 427,  bored out and stroked with 454 crank and .400 longer rods. Can’t remember,  but think that makes it a 502.  1050 CFM Dominator carb, square port Edlebrock aluminum Victor JR heads,  all dyno’d to 700HP!! Estimated to be nearly 975HP at the crank when the nitrous is hooked up.  It starts right up with a simple turn of the key, producing a crisply beautiful and soothing,  albeit Satanic  thumpy purr. The transmission is a Turbo 350  featuring a manual shift body rated to back up over 1000 HP. Transmission is at your service compliments of  B & M.  The explosive force is mated to a rock solid bullet proof four link race suspension with QA1 adjustable coil overs, 9 inch race rated custom hand built rear end with full spool 3.55 gearing.  And contrary to the beastly specs,  it all goes down the highway as smooth and as effortlessly as any muscle car around.


All of this insanity is brought to its senses by a brand new 4 wheel power disc brake system with all braided stainless lines.


Flawless show quality era correct “Richard Rawlings Green” metallic paint with not a single chip,  scratch or imperfection,  stripes are flush and flat with clearcoat over all and not just laid on top.  Floors,   trunk,  frame rails,  etc. are all 100% solid.  Custom flush firewall and hi gloss detailed and painted engine compartment. All new chrome front to back.


Too much else to list;  will try to include it all here:


All 4 brand new Nitto tires,  all 4 brand new Boss Wheels,  All new interior,  again in era correct “Richard Rawlings Green”,  Aluminum radiator,  dual electric fan, line lock system, Grant GT steering wheel, Auto Meter Phantom gauges in custom billet dash panel,  Alpine CD,  all new moldings and seals,  QA1 fully adjustable coil overs at all 4 corners..


This truly is a serious no excuses high quality Chevelle SS tribute resto-mod in literally perfect concourse condition.  If there is a flaw anywhere on the car it has yet to disclose itself.   This is a must see to believe car.  Talking about it,  showing it,  and taking it out to play is always a pleasure.  If you are a seasoned car collector ready to step up and you are serious and have the cash,  I look forward to meeting you.


Estimated cost to recreate: over $55,000.00.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles

Tue, May 17 2016

Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.
