1963 Chevy Biscayne 2 door sedan 550hp Twin Turbo LS 5.3 .. Dare to be different...This is the ultimate sleeper still wearing its original 6 cyl badging, truly a Wolf in sheeps clothing .. Now is your chance to own This Biscayne, it has awesome patina that only mother nature, father time and the California sun and acid rain can create, looks like leopard print on roof hood and trunk.. It started life as a 6 cyl  powerglide car from the gangland of Compton California wearing a real bullet hole in the left front fender…This Biscayne has tens of thousands of dollars invested not counting hours and hours of labor invested to build this cool ride… This car is the ultimate cruiser or street bruiser... Biscayne features a 550 hp twin turbo Chevy 5.3 LS on 4 wheel air bags and 4 wheel disc brakes.. This car is a million times more fun than any shiny trailer queen, don’t spend your weekends washing and waxing or worrying about something happening to your paint, spend it driving and enjoying.. Load up the  kids and go get an ice cream,  go fishing, go surfing,  load up coolers, BBQ, chairs, and friends and family and go tailgating.. haul your tools and junk in it, you can eat and drink in it, lean on it, put a trailer hitch on it and tow your trailer queen, you can even have fun racing other unsuspecting hot rod owners. Don’t kid yourself this car was built for fun and will give you smiles from ear to ear when you stab the throttle and you hear the whine of the turbos spooling up throwing you back in the seats (this car runs hard).. This car  was built to be enjoyed and driven, it gets more looks and attention when driven than any $150,000  shiny trailer queen…No need for an expensive garage to store it in, just a a slab of concrete and car cover will do..   This car runs on cheap high octane E85 fuel that will make the liberal tree huggers happy and is easy on your wallet… The great thing with turbos is they are a tame kitty kat when putted around but an animal when you stab the throttle… What’s more fun owning this car or watching your 401K balance fluctuate with every rotten thing the government does or worry that Rats like  Bernie Madoff or the Enron scammers will take it? Eventually  the piss-poor broke government will figure out how to dip into your hard earned money to fund their next scam/bailout, Just like they did social security, so invest in cars and memories enjoy it now… click on link to see the article written about it this month in CHEVYHARDCORE magazine http://www.chevyhardcore.com/news/battle-scarred-63-biscayne/

I  addressed minor rust issues caused by window left down.. I replaced rear floor pans  and patches front driverside floor as needed with reproduction floor pans.. great body mounts rockers floors and trunk.. This Biscayne is structurally sound and solid, but this car isn’t about perfection, its about patina and  scars/bullet hole on the original paint creating the perfect distressed look as only time can do… If you understand this style of car then you will understand it is absolutely perfect in all its imperfections and is complete and finished. I encourage personal inspection prior to bidding, no joy rides…

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.
