THE AWARD WINNING 1955 "SILVERBACK"! JUST COMPLETED A TWO  YEAR PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION! LESS THAN 50 MILES!
105+ PHOTOS & VIDEO  LOCATED BELOW! ENJOY!
If you're a Chevy guy (or gal) then  you're going to enjoy our 55. If you're a Tri-Five guy (or gal), well
you're  about to mess up all of your priorities by putting this thing at the top of your  "want list". For that,
I apologize. If you're neither of the two, well chances  are you're a Prius guy and if that's the case, I think
they've got reruns of  Friends running on the Oprah network for all of April.
One of  my good buddies just finished building this 55. He took it all the way down and  brought it all
the way up. It just took 2nd place at World of Wheels (couple  months ago). The paint and body work on the car is
great. It was done in a two  stage base coat clear coat and was done by a very talented & experienced auto artist
by the name of  Larry Liles. He owns Fine Line Customs out of Tightward, Missouri. The black and  silver with the
combination of the staggered black rims, really give the 55 it's  own mean appearance. Like a true Silverback, it
is hunched and ready to tear the  street apart. All of the chrome & stainless has either been redone or replaced 
with new pieces. The majority of it being refurbished. All of the glass through  out the 55 has been replaced with
new smoked glass. It's got new body bushings  as well as a new idler arm. He put all new emblems through out and
went ahead  with the "Belair" upgrade.
The 350 motor within this 55 has  been rebuilt and is in excellent mechanical order. The 600 Edelbrock
provides  the perfect balance between having a nice cruiser but with enough power that if  you want to get around
someone then there is more then plenty to work with. Want  to just roast the tires to burn off some steam? She'll
do that and then some. It  is fed by a new Holley Blue electric fuel pump. To keep her cool he installed a  new
aluminum radiator. The 350 Turbo transmission was also rebuilt and functions  flawlessly. She shifts through gears
with ease. He also bought and installed a  brand new Ron Francis wiring harness. She does have four wheel disc
brakes all  the way around. All of which work exceptionally well. The Ford 9' rear end also  works flawlessly. He
also bought a new power steering setup for it which also  works flawlessly.
The interior was completely tore  down with the rest of the car at the beginning of the build. So all of it
was  reupholstered. From the carpet to the headliner, it is all new. The tilt  steering column along with the
brand new wood grain steering wheel, all new.  When you first climb in, you immediately smell just how new it is.
It is quite  comforting.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts

Fri, Nov 30 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.
