It also has a Pete Jackson noisy gear drive, MSD ignition and high torque starter. It has set of Autometer Procomp. gauges as well. The trans is a T-5 5 speed out of an Iroc Camaro with a new heavy duty clutch/pressure plate/master and slave cylinder and re-surfaced flywheel.

The body/frame have no rust or bondo at all. The pass floorpan has a small hole about the size of a quarter. The truck was stripped/painted last year Ratrod black with metallic silver/purple chrome flames. It has a Phantom grill with a custom fiberglass front dam and rear roll pan. The engine is nicely detailed with chrome and aluminum. The interior is basically stock and is currently out of the truck. The front seats are factory Recaro seats out of a Recaro PMD Trans am.

I have over $7500.00 invested in the truck, unfortunately I don't have the funds right now to complete it. It has been sitting inside my father's shop for the last year and I can't see it just sit there anymore. The truck is about 90% completed. I have about 100 pics of the restoration...from start to current condition. The exhaust is just mocked up and will need to be custom bent to clear the trans crossmember. It will need new tires soon. The engine will need to be dailed in as well. I have'nt had a chance to get around to setting the timing and adjusting the carbs. It does run/drive but should be trailered to be on the safe side. Any questions, please call me @312-459-4294. Thanks, Dave

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.
