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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Range-extended EV taxis in London, 2016 Chevy Volt interior two years old
Fri, Feb 13 2015The first Metrocab range-extended EV taxis are operating on the streets of London. The cabs use a 12.2-kWh battery and two 50-kW motors, as well as a 1.0-liter gasoline range extender. Fuel economy is 98 MPGe on the ECE101 cycle, and total driving range is over 348 miles before needing to charge or refuel. Cabbies can expect to save GBP20 to GBP40 (about $30 to $60) per day on average. "The cash savings on fuel are significant, the ride and comfort outstanding, and my first customers are thrilled with the new cab," says the first operator of the new EV taxi, Preston Morris. "With its air suspension providing unrivaled comfort, panoramic glass roof for views of the city and silent powertrain, what's not to like?" Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet has had the interior design of the 2016 Volt finished for two years already, according to GM interior designer John McDougall. Beginning around 2010, GM received sketches from designers worldwide before narrowing it down to a handful of designs. Then the top three choices were molded from clay. The chosen theme was then refined for up to 18 months. "Every little thing you can imagine goes into that," says McDougall. "The glare angle from the windows, the placement of the controls, the placement of the seat. You have to create something that's beautiful and functional." Read more at GM Authority and at Inside EVs. More details have emerged about the Second Life Batteries Alliance. Vattenfall has announced a research project in partnership with BMW and Bosch to use retired EV batteries for stationary, grid-connected energy storage in Hamburg, Germany. Over 100 lithium-ion batteries from BMW i3 and ActiveE vehicles will make up a two-mWh storage unit for grid balancing, enough to power 30 four-person households for a week. The system is "compact enough to fit in a small building," says Bosch. Such storage systems are especially fit for storing and moving alternative forms of energy, which often fluctuate in supply more than electricity from a traditional power plant. Vattenhall will operate the storage unit for 10 years, with Bosch managing the batteries, during which time the three partners hope to learn more about battery applications and their performance over time.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
