   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.

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York

Sat, Apr 4 2015

Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
