1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic With 355 Sbc on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
I bought this car when it moved up from I believe Arkansas with a blown motor. the car is really clean and I took the motor and trans out sanded painted and undercoated from the firewall back to the back bumper. the engine bay was cleaned where I could get to it. the original 700r4 overdrive transmission is in it. in the last few months ive done all 4 shocks, radiator, exhaust and header gaskets, alternator and starter, heater core, some vacuum lines, window motor, window tint, wipers, oil change, outer window seals, low beam headlights, the list goes on and on. its my daily driver so the miles will go up, I just have too many cars and trying to sell a few off. the motor in it is from a 73 chevy its a 4 bolt main 010 block that done along time ago and I had it sitting around and put it in the car. the four bolt main motor is now .030 over so its a 355 cubic inch motor with flat top pistons if I remember right its a comp cams 268 cam but it might be the 262 cam. long tube headers and the intake is the original 1985 aluminum one from the 305 that the car came with, the "tamper proof" carb has had all the adjustments opened up so its tuneable. all the a/c stuff is still there but doesn't work, I did a trans flush a couple months back also. when the motor went in I had dual exhaust from the headers all the way back to the rear bumper put on. true duals!! with raptor mufflers it sounds pretty mean. it has a sony cd deck in it, and a kicker amp with a single 12" subwoofer in the trunk. now the bad: a vacuum line leak wont let the heater controls change the position so its stuck half on defrost and floor, the washers dont work and if you turn the wipers on they stay on until you shut the car off. passenger window rolls down but it picks and chooses when it wants to go up sometimes, the windshield has a crack in it, the driver seat motor runs I can hear it but the seat doesn't move, the rear bumper filler pieces are missing and the left front wheel trim moulding is missing, the top of the hood and trunk are sun baked, the door seals leak a little water when you wash the car or in a heavy rain and you get a little wind noise from them when going down the road. like I said I daily drive it so it doesn't really affect how it runs and drives, I like the car its big and roomy but I have too many cars and cant keep paying storage for everything |

Camaro driver clocked at 171 miles per hour
Wed, Apr 13 2016Chevy's 2016 Camaro SS is a fantastic piece of automotive engineering. It is also, apparently, very, very fast. This latter fact was perfectly illustrated when, on April 8, a Camaro SS driver was nailed in Two Harbors, Minnesota for doing 171 mph. According to WFAA, the unnamed speed demon was flying down Highway 61 near Two Harbors when Hermantown, MN Deputy Police Chief Shawn Padden clocked him at an eye-watering 171 mph. He then recorded the speeder at 168 and 141. At the time, Deputy Chief Padden was working with Minnesota State Patrol on an anti-DWI program called "Toward Zero Deaths". Padden, who was interviewed by the Duluth News Tribune, said he was surprised at the driver's sheer speed. "When he went by me, it was a blur," Padden told the News. "You get used to seeing people going 65 or 70 and what that looks like. But I've never seen anything like this. It's like a rocket on wheels." Fadden chased the Camaro down eventually, but it took some doing. To catch the Camaro, he pushed his Dodge Charger Pursuit to 135 mph just to get into range so the Camaro could see his emergency lights. The speeding driver was ticketed for careless driving, but may lose his license due to a Minnesota law that gives courts the option of revoking licenses for drivers caught doing more than 100 mph.
