Beautiful white Impala SS clone.  I have owned the car for a year and a half and had a blast with it.  It turns heads everywhere it goes.  I purchased it most of the way through a frame off restoration.  My son and I finished the job, which included redoing the interior, the white paint and fixing several small issues that show up after a project the size of this one.  We also added new rubber throughout the interior.  There are none of the rattles and squeaks associated with a car of this age.  The car was burgundy when we first acquired it and so some of the pictures will show the car being rebuilt and driven as burgundy.  The car has been White for over a year. 

The car has a rebuilt 454 installed.  I cannot tell you all of what was replaced by the master mechanic who did the job.  I have bought the car to be a regular play toy, and it has been.  But since its not stock, I have not made a production out of keeping records.  The transmission is a 5 speed.  The fifth gear is an electric overdrive.  This allows us to cruise the highways without getting raped at every gas station we pass.  The car has a relatively new (about 1 year old) DVD player stereo and a boom box in a box in the trunk.  Tunes sound good.  It has disk brakes on the front and a special lock set up so that you can easily power stand (or lock the front wheels) while spinning the back ones.  It also has a bleach tank installed to make those tire create a very impressive cloud of smoke as the videos will testify to.  Speaking of tires, they are all very fresh.   

The convertible top was replaced right before I acquired the car and it has been kept under shelter since the purchase.  No leaks or tears.   The hydraulic system for raising and lower the top has had several parts replaced (including the pump) and it works flawlessly.  The front end has been aligned recently and the battery is a few months old now.

I drive the car fairly regular and have taken it several hundred miles without any issues.  Its longest trip so far was in excess of 500 miles when we picked it up.

As would be expected with a car this old it has a few issues.  None of them are serious and most could be repaired with a little effort.  My complains deal with sun visors not staying in position and windows that have issues with the fresh rubber when rolling them up and down in the back.

If the buyer is within a one easy day drive, I would be glad to deliver it (you have to work with my schedule though).

We (my son and I) are selling this because he cannot afford the gas (he is 17 now) and I am looking for a new toy to play with.  I would really like this to go to someone that will enjoy it as much as I have.  Remember when looking at the pictures, the white exterior is recent the red exteriors are at least one to one and a half years old.

Note the car is too old to carry a title in Alabama.  I will be able to provide a bill of sale only.  Also there is no way to verify the mileage on the speedometer.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
