   Up for auction is a one-of-a-kind Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. The changes I made were done for reliability, and drive-ability. The frame is the only thing that has 117,000 miles on it, since all else has been changed or upgraded. I am the second owner of this car. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS, AND LOG BOOK, SHOWING EACH AND EVERY CHANGE THAT I MADE. 

  The engine was installed in the Spring of 2006. It is a 383 stroker Small Block Chevrolet, only has about 12K miles on it. It was built to my specifications by an engine shop in Portland, Oregon. I personally verified every clearance and dimension prior to building it. It has a 9.33 compression ratio, so I could run 87 octane while cruising on the highway. The quench area has been optimized so it wouldn't be octane sensitive. The heads are Air Flow Research, with 195CC chambers. The intake is an Edelbrock Super Ram, which flows significantly more air than the tubular runners, which is why I went with it, along with an Edelbrock 52MM throttle body. It also has Edelbrock tubular headers, which have Jet Hot coated. It has a GM serpentine setup from a 1992 Camaro. There are two 16" Ramcharger electric fans mounted, behid the just-new radiator with a lifetime warranty.  The engine does not smoke, nor burn any oil. 
   As far as the drive-train goes, the transmission was built up locally by Govednik Transmissions. It was built to Bruce WE4s specifications for the Buick Gran National cars. This includes extra overdrive bands, clutches, and ball-bearing pieces to replace the plastic ones. It has an 11" converter, stall speed listed as 2400-2600, purchased from there also. This only has about 14K miles on it. The car has a Denny's 3" steel driveshaft. The original differential gears, which were 3.73, were replaced with 3.23 for better mileage while driving to car events. I still have the original ones and carrier also.
   The interior is in great conditions, with NO rips, tears, burns, or damage. I added a custom Autometer dashboard, since the original gauges are notorious for being inaccurate. I replaced the headliner just a few years ago also. All the power seats, windows, trunk, and locks work.
   The car was cleaned and repainted within the last 10 years, also in the original color white enamel. There are no dents, rust, or major damage anywhere. It does have the usual minor nicks and scratches from use though. The windshield is only two years old, and the windows have been tinted, to the legal limits in Wisconsin; which means they aren't too dark for normal use! The stereo is a Pyle, 45 watt, 4-channel AM-FM, CD unit. I also mounted a 10" sub-woofer in the trunk, with a 200-watt amplifier for it. All the speakers have been upgraded from the stock ones. 
   The tank is a custom made one, that I designed, along with an aluminum welder. It holds 20.6 measured gallons, the stock being 17.5. It is smaller than the stock one, and bolts in the same location. It is angled slightly so all the gas will drain to the sump since the tank is baffled too. It has a custom-built in-tank sump and pump, which has a return line and vent. I mounted a spare pump, to the outside, to ease repair if the internal one goes out. You switch two lines, the power plug, and you're off again! If you wish to hide the tank, just paint it black and no one will be the wiser.
   Lines have been run to a 10# Nitrous Oxide tank mounted in the trunk, and it has passed tech at my drag strip. A manual switch triggers it now, but an electronic controller is mounted, but I never got it connected. I also have a remote bottle opener which has not been mounted yet, but included.
   As you can see, I built this car for reliability versus all-out power. It wouldn't take much to add more since the foundation is there. This car has only been driven in the summers, hence the low mileage on the drive-train. All the ball joints, brakes, bushings, etc, were replaced in the last 3 years, and an alignment done. The tires are only a few years old with low mileage, and were rated very highly by Tire Racks surveys a few years ago.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.  But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles

Mon, Oct 19 2015

An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
