Please note: This was made to be a radical one of a kind car. It has no top. It has no windows, but the look and
the attention it gets is second to none! Who would want to drive one of these with the top up anyhow? This started
its life as a bubbletop 59 Impala, but I wanted to be different, so here it is!
Body:
Blasted and painted with Dupont Cameo Coral and light flake--looks almost a tint of pink in the sunlight, and a
darker red out of the sun----between the trim on the side and on the dash and interior are a combination of the
cameo and silver light flake.Under side and trunk were lizard skinned.
New trunk pans and floor pans. All dynamat on floors. New gas tank. There is teak wood that is polyureathaned that
fits perfectly where the windows would have been to give a nice clean look. California one piece front bumper. all
trim and brightwork are excellent for the age of the car. Custom one piece front valance that wraps around. Dual
antennas on rear fins.

355 Chevy race motor-built for the track
500 lift cam
Diamond Pistons
Brodix racing heads
Edelbrock Victor bowtie Intake
Custom fabricated Sceptre air intake
Dual electric fans
Power steering
March serpentine belt system
Power disc brakes

Custom exhaust vent style coming out before rear wheels.

Full airride suspension via air ride system--compressor with gauge mounted in trunk
switches are mounted with the stock power window switches on driver side.
Went with one inch lines instead of 1/2, so it goes up and down quick. People love it!
Has all gauges--after market for oil pressure, temperature(never runs above 180).
working gas gauge, and stock speedometer. It has a tack mounted on steering column but never hooked it up.
Stereo:
Kenwood head unit/with remote/bluetooth and hands free---all memphis audio 6 1/2's in doors and rear with a 10" sub
and memphis audio amp mounted behind back seat---custom made speaker enclosures in front doors from classic rear
well fenders covers.
Trunk has been carpeted and finished to complete the uniform and neat look.
The trunk and hood operate on seperate switches mounted under the dash that go up with accuators. both fit
perfectly. Nothing cooler than pulling up and using the switches and mouths drop to the floor!
Has door poppers on both sides custom located on inside.
I know I may have forgotten some things but feel free to reach out!

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults

Mon, Dec 1 2014

General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email. General Motors is recalling 273,182 Buick LaCrosse sedans and Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Saab and Isuzu midsize SUVs in the U.S. for possible intermittent or permanent loss of low beam headlamps.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.
