The following description if from Gil
Up for sale and auction is our original 1957 Chevy Bel Air drag car Panama Red. This car was raced from 1961 to 1981. Originally, the car was raced at Lion's Drag Strip and then later was run at Famoso Raceway. This car is a true survivor with very few changes since its last race. It still wears its original paint and lettering that we only buffed out and waxed to preserve it. The Borg Warner T-10 trans, Mcleod flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate, and even the front wheels are original to the car. The car originally ran a 301 SBC, but now has a fresh 355 SBC with 10-1 compression, camel hump heads, Edelbrock tunnel ram with dual 450 Holleys, Erson solid liter cam, and Harland Sharp roller rockers. Distributor is a Mallory dual point. Exhaust consists of early Headman fenderwell headers. The engine runs and sounds great! It has an early Pontiac rear with 5.86 gears and Henry's spool and axles The rear suspension consists of the original leaf springs with ladder bars and a floater kit. The biggest change to the car since it was raced is the addition of the straight axle front suspension and front disc brake kit. My plan was to return the car to a stock a-arm front suspension and get it back to how it was when it was raced. It has an early Fiberglass Trends one piece tilt nose that is still in very good shape. The body is excellent with no rust. All of the stainless trim is in great shape. The dash holds all of it's original gauges that are in working order. The two front bucket seats are from an early Chevy Camper and the door panels are new and freshly covered in black vinyl. I have a clear title for the car but since it is still in race trim it has not been registered for the street. I have a lot of documentation on the car including photos, time slips and even copies of the last know drivers personal records that were written in a notebook following each run. These original drag cars with documented history are becoming hard to find. Here is a chance to own a great car, that is recognized wherever it goes, with a lot of history. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at 805-757-1765 or send me an email at gil.hotrodranch@yahoo.com. Visit The Hot Rod Ranch Face Book page to see video of Panama Red from the recent Ventura Nationals and see the cars first hard pass since 1981.
The car is advertised for sale locally and the I reserve the right to end the auction early if needed.

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new
Thu, Sep 29 2016To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
