TO START OUT THIS WAS A BUILD THAT WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT COULDN'T FIND A TRUCK EXACTLY LIKE WE WANTED UNTIL WE FOUND THIS ONE (ORIGINAL PAINT AND NOT FULL OF RUST) WE STARTED WITH A TWO OWNER RUST FREE TRUCK THAT WAS OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 40 YEARS, IT CAME WITH THE PROTECT-O- PLATE, OWNERS MANUAL AND TONS OF PAPER WORK. THE TRUCK WAS TORN DOWN AND THE FRAME OFF RESTORATION WAS STARTED, FROM THE GET GO WE WANTED TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE YENKO PARTS TRUCK. A NEW STOCK 454 WAS DISGUISED TO LOOK LIKE A 427 AND THE TRANS WAS CHANGED TO A NEW TURBO 400, THE BUILD TURNED INTO A NO EXPENSE SPARED ONE OF A KIND BUILD WHERE THE ONLY ORIGINAL PARTS THAT WENT BACK WAS THE FRAME AND BODY. THE CHASSIS WAS TAKEN DOWN TO BARE METAL AND EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED, ALL SUSPENSION IS CPP, SPINDLES, SPRINGS, SHOCKS ETC. NEW COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUSHINGS, LINES, ETC, ALL BOLTS ON THE FRAME ARE NEW GRADE 8. THE BOTTOM OF THE CAB AND BED WERE BLASTED AND PAINTED A SEMI GLOSS BLACK. EVERYTHING INSIDE THE CAB HAS BEEN PAINTED THE FACTORY BLUE, EVERYTHING ELSE INSIDE IS NEW, SEAT, DOOR PANELS, CARPET, HEADLINER, RUBBER, FELT, VENTS, DASH PAD, VISORS ETC ALONG WITH TILT WHEEL. . MOVING TO THE EXTERIOR AGAIN EVERY PIECE IS NEW, TRIM, MOLDING, LIGHTS, BUMPERS, WINDSHIELD, EMBLEMS, AND THE ORIGINAL GRILL SHELL HAS BEEN CHROMED, THE ONLY BODY PANELS THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED WERE THE ROCKERS. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON UNDER THE HOOD, ALL FACTORY AIR WAS REBUILT, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING AND ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE IS NEW AND WORKS, ALL BOLTS ARE EITHER STAINLESS OR CAD PLATED EVERYWHERE. AGAIN THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE BUILD THAT WAS BUILT WITH A PURPOSE FROM THE PAINT TO THE WHEELS AND ENGINE. AND RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT.
THE TRUCK WAS JUST FINISHED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND HASN'T BEEN TO ANY SHOWS YET BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY BE WORTHY OF MAGAZINE COVERAGE WITH THE COOL PATINA AND YENKO LOOK. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL 678-300-3214 SOLD WITH A GEORGIA REGISTRATION AND BILL OF SALE. |

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
