1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS clone.
This is a very high end professionally built car. The car was completely torn down to the very last nut and bolt in 2009 and restored on a rotisserie. 
At this point, there is just over $73,000 in REAL cash money in this build. That doesn't included the cost of the car to start with. 
454 that is basically a crate motor with under 10,000 miles on it. We estimate about 400 horsepower, give or take of course. 
MSD ignition system.
Aluminum radiator.
Brand new professionally built 700r4 transmission, with the additional electric lock out switch that acts as somewhat of an extra highway gear. 2300 Corvette stall converter that will allow the car to chirp the tires in three gears without even trying. The car really gets up and gets out of it's own way in a hurry...but is really well mannered on the highway. 
12 bolt posi rear.
Four wheel disc brakes
Airpod Air Ride system all the way around, with three set positions and it is fully adjustable. The car will just about lay frame (it lays on the sway bar). See the pictures. There is well over $6,000 in just this system alone, maybe $7,000.
All tubular A-arms and suspension parts. 
All the chrome and brightwork is new.
All the lights, turn signals, etc. work. 
Brand new Summitomo tires with under 50 miles on them on beautiful 18" chrome 5 spoke rims. The tires were just under $1,000. 
The interior was all brand new at the build. If you are a taller driver, I will included a like new pair of Mercedes black electric bucket seats that the owner had in the car before. He was 6'3" tall and found that he needed the seat to be lower and go farther back. Those seats alone were $1,000 for the pair. 
The frame is completely boxed, and it was done by a professional chassis builder. The quality is unmatched. It was built to handle up to 1,000 horsepower. 
The entire bottom side of the car is painted with the same paint used on the top of the car. See the pictures: it's stunning.
Headers with 3" exhaust with newer Magnaflow mufflers, and it runs all the way to the back. 
Dual electric fans.
All billet pump and pulley system on the front of the motor. There IS an AC pump, but the car does NOT have AC. However, the shop that built the car will install it for you for $2,000, and my husband will facilitate that work for the buyer if he so chooses before the car is picked up. 
Dual electric fans. Even in the hot 90+ degree Florida summer days, the car never ever gets hot.
Power steering. Power brakes. 
New CD stereo with remote. Unit is mounted and hidden in the glove box. 
Engine compartment is painted just like the top of the car as well. Stunning. See the pictures. 
Electric fuel pump.
Car starts right up every time. 
Trunk mounted Red Top battery AND an manual power shut off in trunk as well. See the pictures. 
Runs on pump gas. 
Lots of new glass at build. At night, it's hard to tell there is glass. It's THAT clear. 
Paintwork was done by probably the best painter in all of South Florida. It is a late model Mercedes silver with a late model Mazda (I think) electric blue. The pinstripes between the two colors are tape, thus easily changed if the owner wants to. 
Doors open and close like a new car. So does the trunk.
Car is rust free and excellent. 
Includes a custom made $200 California cover. Car is stored indoors right next to grandpas mini-van. 
...and the list goes on and on and on. 

Known issues with car:
1) Speedometer does not work since the 700r4 trans install and we have not looked into why
2) Dash clock does not work. 
3) The aftermarket horn could be louder. There may be and adjustment for that. 
4) There is a tiny tiny bit of paint bubbling at the very rear corner of the passenger door. I saw it for the first time yesterday when it was up on a lift and I could see under the lip eye-to-eye. If I didn't mention, you would probably never see it.
5) Headers are a little banged up on the bottom due to forgetting to raise the air ride system up from the lowest setting before moving the car. 

This is a high-end, no excuses, pro touring car that you could easily fly in and drive home without worry. We are 20 minutes from RSW International Airport, and someone will pick you up if you would like to do that. 

If you are an out of state or out of the country buyer, I encourage you to come see it OR hire an inspector to look the car over if need be. There is nothing to hide, and we have no problem with a qualified professional inspection. If you need a recommendation, let me know and we will get you one.

My husband has experience with transport and international exporting, and he would be happy to help with those details if the buyer needs (at buyers expense, of course). 

I do not own this car. I am just listing it for the owners. If you have any other questions, just email me your question and/or phone number and I will have them call you back with the answers. 

Paypal will NOT be accepted for this transaction. CASH or wire transfer is preferred. 

Here is a short video of the car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOXEy84kWGw

Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For One Million Dollars

Mon, Apr 14 2014

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.
