1976 Chevy Caprice lowrider history:

With its beautiful yacht like lines & elegance it was no wonder why this car was chosen to be a full show car early in its life in 1982. Just 6 years old of age this car went under a transformation that would impact many hearts, as they set eyes on this art master piece.

With just under 6 years of being driven off the show lot a team was hired that consisted of the best of the best in the industry to create what is know as " True Devotion" 1976 Chevy Caprice. The first step was to create a canvas for the gran masterpiece. The canvas was prepped by eliminating the handles, side moldings adding dual french antennas, hollywood top, suiciding the trunk and adding a blue foundation with rainbow metal flake. Now that the canvas was ready, the artist began his work adding scallops, ribbons, graphics and little secrets of the trade using various mixes of kandy purple, blue, yellow, magenta & few custom created colors. No true Lowrider would be complete with out murals, so three murals beautifully add life to it all. More than eight hours were invested on the highly detailed roses that decorate the side panels. The reverse opening trunk also serves as a canvas for the highly detailed mural of the Virgen Mary looking over the famous Chicago lake front.

Now that the exterior was taken car of, the interior was next on the list. Wanting to accent the interior but not sacrifice comfort & luxury the Caprice is so famous for, it was decided the stock interior would be used but given a lowrider treatment. Many yards of carefully chosen heavy duty elegant dark blue velvet material was used to create an interior fit for royalty. The famous chain steering wheel add accent to the blue buscuit tuck interior & the gold plates under the dash hold eight gold switches. Two of the switches control the power windows & the other six give you access to dance in front to back side to side motions.

Once the car was completed it was ready to take the show by storm and it sure did with many best of shows, best paint and dominating the show world for many years but after 10 years of competition the time had arrived to raise the bar. In 1993-94 season the car would go under a transformation that at the time was unheard of, a fully detailed undercarriage with painted floor, frame & triple chrome plate everything!

Plans went on the way to not only do a full complete undercarriage but also a highly detail engine compartment. The car was put on stands & fully disassembled of its engine & complete undercarriage. Parts were prepped & every chrome trim removed to be shipped out for triple show quality chrome plating. One thing let to another and soon the project was put on the back burner, interest was lost and properly stored for years.

In 2000 this gem was discovered in amazing shape. So now it was time to finish what the previous owner dreamed of but it would be another eight years before this car would finally reclaim its glory.The engine (400 small block) was fully rebuilt painted (blue with metal flake) & fully dressed in chrome. The transmission was also rebuilt, dressed in chrome accents & painted to match the engine. the front & rear suspension was fully rebuilt & triple chrome plated. New radiator, booster, calipers were painted to match. New custom dual exhaust with glass packs attached to ceramic coated shorty headers for that true lowrider sound (low toned for cruising & aggressive at the flooring of the accelerator. Car has now been featured in magazine, music videos and many articles. Due to the age of car there is some chips in paint but still does very well in car shows. My intentions for car was to be a dependable cruiser not a trailer queen, plus I think that as in the scars of life the chips give the car character. If it is a true 1970's lowrider you are looking for you have found it.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
