1956 Chevrolet 150 mild custom restomod. Clean and clear California title. Originally produced in Los Angeles and has been in the Southern California all its life. This was a rust free desert car which has been completely rebuilt and restored to a high standard with thousands of dollars in receipts documenting the work carried out. Painted in 2006 in that year’s new Dodge Viper red, the shell was first stripped down to the metal then restored and professionally painted inside and out at a cost of $12,700, which should give you an indication of its quality. There were some very subtle custom touches added to enhance the classic lines such as shaving the door handles, mirrors, hood emblem and licence plate holder. The doors have remote entry via a Viper alarm system and the licence plate hides under the rear bumper on a custom flip down bracket. All the exterior chrome and stainless trim, both front and rear bumpers, headlights, tail lights, side glass, windshield, moldings, wipers, grille etc have been replaced with the best quality new Danchuk Manufacturing items. All rubber gaskets, seals and felts were also replaced. The interior has been restored from headliner to carpet, with retrimmed door panels, quarter trim, rear bench and front bucket seats in a classic tuck and roll design. All the handles and brightwork are also new. All four windows are tinted and power, a high end Kenwood/Hertz eight speaker stereo system has been installed with the headunit hidden in the glovebox. Sound proofing throughout. Rewired front to back with Painless Wiring and fitted with a comprehensive integrated pager security system. New 350 crate motor purchased directly from GM, augmented with Mahle pistons, ported and polished Dart / World heads, dual four barrel Holley carbs on port matched polished intake, mild Crower cam, Crane hardware, Pete Jackson dual idler gear drive etc, Modine rad, dual fans, Mallory HEI, 8mm Pro Sidewinder leads, chrome high output GM alternator, chrome and polished bolts, brackets and accessories throughout. Polished and chromed valve covers and low profile air cleaner. New 700R4 overdrive Performance Auto heavy duty street and strip transmission with a manual/automatic valve body, high performance clutches, bands, and servos. Lokar remote dipstick, floor shifter and remote trans cooler. Rebuilt Positraction rearend. Vented disc brakes. Custom made Flowmaster 2.5 inch exhaust system with custom chrome tips and Hooker headers. New 20x10 and 18x8 polished alloy deep dish pro touring wheels with new low profile tires. Fatman Fabrication dropped spindles and lowered springs in front and National springs in rear. The new owner will also have the option of switching the wheels for genuine 15 inch staggered American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels for a more classic retro hot rod look ( see pics for American Racing mags fitted ). The car looks and drives as a well engineered custom street machine should. The motor has a mild lope from the cam and an aggressive low whine from the gear drive. The exhaust note is deep and low, it’s not obnoxiously loud but there is no mistaking there’s a tuned V8 under the hood. Normal street driving is balanced and predictable with no surprises, freeway cruising is smooth and relaxed thanks to the overdrive, but with spirited driving the tires can be chirped between gears easily and smoked from a standstill at will. All in all this is a very clean, well built street machine that can and has been driven across country. Although it’s not strictly a show car or trailer queen, it’s picked up a couple of rock chips over the years but it still wins trophies at every event it’s taken to. Any inspection is welcomed. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
On Mar-30-14 at 19:17:53 PDT, seller added the following information: In answer to a few questions i've had, The engine output has been measured at 387 horsepower, it was tuned on a dyno to setup the twin carbs and that was the only time the power was rated. The carbs are tuned for street use but i've been adviced by the tuning shop that retuning with bigger jets and timing would free up more power. i have not raced the car so cannot say what the quarter mile times are. All parts repalced during the rebuild and restoration were new, no used or junk yard parts. The engine was supplied by a Chevrolet dealership as a factory new unit. There is actually only one rock chip to speak of on the drivers side front fender that i can find on closer inspection, its smaller than the size of a dime. The American Racing wheels are near new, as are the tires.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers
Fri, Jan 1 2016Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:
Chevy gives Camaro Red, Black Accents for SEMA
Mon, Oct 26 2015Just the other day, Chevy announced a series of modified show cars it's planning to bring to SEMA this year. Now it has revealed full details on what could prove the most enticing among them in the form of a pair of Camaros. These new Red Accent and Black Accent editions are based on the new, sixth-generation 2016 Camaro SS. The former starts out as a Camaro SS convertible, done up in silver with red trim inside and out. It's got a leather interior, custom grille, hash-mark fender graphics, blacked-out bowtie badge, and 20-inch alloys. Even the engine is visually enhanced with a red cover. While it was at it, Chevy also dropped the suspension and fitted a new air intake and Brembo front brakes. Joining it is the Black Accent concept, based on a red Camaro SS coupe. As its name suggests, it's got a blacked-out aero kit, bowtie badge, and fuel cover, along with darkened tailllamps and satin black stripes. It also gets a black leather interior and its own set of 20-inch wheels, along with the aforementioned lowering kit, Brembo front brakes, air intake, and red engine cover. The Accent concepts are designed to showcase the extent of the accessories Chevy is offering for the new Camaro, and will be showcased at SEMA alongside modified versions of the Spark, Trax, Malibu, Colorado, and Sierra. Feel free to scope out the gallery above and the details in the press release below.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
