Conyers, Georgia, United States

I bought this car back in July,2009 and then began upgrading,repairing and replacing everything in the car other than the engine,as that had already been done before i bought the car. This car has been completely rebuilt. It needs nothing. The project was completed in Jan.,2014 with $92,250.00 having been spent. There has only been approximately 300 miles put on the car since it was completed. Put gas in the tank and drive it anywhere. This car is equipped with a factory original numbers matching 327 cu. in. / 300 h.p. engine that had been completely rebuilt shortly before i bought the car. Whoever rebuilt this engine knew exactly what they were doing,as this is a very strong engine. I replaced the 2-Speed Power Glide Transmission with the better 3-Speed Turbo Hydra Matic Auto. Trans. for much better drive ability and performance. At this time i had all (6) universal joints replaced,as well as all (4) shock absorbers replaced. I had the entire Air Conditioning system converted over to the newer R-134-A system from the old R-12 system. New "Sanden" A/C compressor,new condenser core with electric fan pushing air through the front of the condenser core. A cutoff valve installed that stops the follow of coolant running through the heater core for much better A/C cooling. Completely replaced the entire power steering system with all new components. Completely rebuilt the entire instrument cluster with new speedometer cable,new tachometer drive gear,new clock and installed all new "L.E.D." lights for much better visibility at night. New power window buttons. Completely rebuilt the entire cooling system starting with a nice big heavy duty "De Witt" aluminum radiator,a high performance water pump,a 6-blade direct drive fan replacing the original 5-blade clutch fan. You will NOT have any of the old cooling problems that Corvettes were so well known for. I also had the water jackets inside the engine block drained,cleaned and flushed before installing all of these nice new parts. I also installed nice new metallic hoses. The entire electrical system has been rebuilt with a new alternator,voltage regulator,battery and a new compact starter. All new fuel system including a Holley 4 bbl. carburetor with manual choke,Holley Fuel Pump and all new metallic fuel lines. All new "H.E.I." electronic ignition system complete with custom made "Taylor" ignition wires. All new power brake system complete with high performance stainless steel brake rotors for much cooler braking operation,a new power brake booster and master cylinder. Car has "Positraction" rear end with a rear end gear ratio of 3.08:1 replacing the 3.36:1 rear end gear ratio that came with the car. I found this to be much better for the air conditioning compressor to do a much better job of cooling at highway speeds. Replaced all old tail lights with the new "L.E.D." light bulbs. Making it much easier to be seen at night. Repaired headliner,installed new insulation and new carpet. Had windows tinted. Replaced a leaky exhaust manifold on the drivers side with a good factory original part.
Some of the factory options on this car include "Side Mounted Exhaust Pipes",Delco AM / FM push button radio with power antenna,"Day / Night" inside rearview mirror and i had installed a right hand side outside rearview mirror. This car also comes with "After Market" knock off wheels. These wheels ARE NOT factory original "Kelsey-Hayes" knock off wheels,but I think they look very nice. Also included with the car are a 1966 Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual,1964 & 1966 Corvette Owners Manual. Every part receipt and all of the documentation that I have. The spare tire is new and has never been on the ground. The 4-tires that are on the ground are relatively new,as they only have approximately 9,000 miles on them. These tires are B.F. Goodrich Premier Touring White Walls (215 70-R-15) and the spare is a B.F.Goodrich Touring Black Wall (205 70-R 15). Odometer reading at the time of this listing is 71,475. Car is being sold "AS IS". Thanks for looking. P.S. This is my "SHOW CAR" and has won 12 Plaques and Trophies. The plaques and trophies will go with the car. P.P.S. I'm sure it goes without saying,but "THIS CAR NEVER GETS DRIVEN IN THE RAIN"!!!!!!! It is garage kept in a climate controled garage,air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Anyone having any serious questions concerning my pride and joy please don't hesitate to ask and I will try to get back with you "A.S.A.P."! |

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox
Mon, Jan 9 2017Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:
Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?
Sun, Jan 10 2016Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
