Hello folks. Just to be perfectly honest and clear, I want to state up front that this car was born as a black over gray leather LT1 Caprice and although it resembles one, it is NOT an Impala SS. I bought this car from a Ford dealer in TN where it was traded in by its original owner. It has been in the south its whole life and is completely rust free. I wanted a sleeper, a fun, fast car that would fool people and ruin egos. I started by tearing down the top half of the engine and replaced the iron heads with stock aluminum LT1 heads off my '94 Z28. They were treated to a performance valve job and they've been bowl blended, pocket ported and gasket matched. I installed a Comp Cams 260XFI cam with 210/218 duration at .050" along with a full roller valvetrain using more parts from Comp and Crane. For those that don't know engine mods well, don't worry, this isn't a lopey race engine, its very streetable and was built to maximize torque for getting this heavy car moving. I used a thinner head gasket during the cylinder head install to bump the compression to 11:1, but it still runs fine on pump premium. The Opti-Spark distributor has been replaced along with an LT4 knock module and a Crane ignition box and coil. The exhaust is a 2.5" dual cat-back from Jegs, but with 50 series (the quiet ones) Flowmaster mufflers installed. The transmission has a custom torque converter matched to the cam and gearing. The stock drum brake rear end was replaced with a 3.08:1, 4-wheel disc rear end from a 9C1 police car. The diff was also replaced with a new Eaton Posi unit. I had my friend Reese Cox at MTI racing do a quickie tune on the car and it runs great. It does seem to pull a bit harder at 90% throttle than WOT so I know there's a lot left on the table with some more tuning. I've been meaning to take it back to MTI and get it on their dyno for a proper tune, but I haven't had a chance. It hasn't been down the track but seat-of-the-pants feels like it would run a mid 13. The car passes emissions here in GA with no problem at all. So there I was with my 13 second granny car covered in chrome and even sporting white wall tires when this (I'll bite my tongue here) woman sideswipes the RF door and fender. The damage was very minor, but I found a deal on a perfect door and fender from a black Impala SS so I used those parts so the car would have zero filler. Since the car was going to the body shop, I decided to change direction and make some tasteful modifications. I installed an Impala grill and spoiler, shaved the trunk lock cylinder and installed smooth urethane bumpers (not the cheap fiberglass ones). Magnum Collision in Marietta GA did the whole body respray and it came out beautiful. The wheels are 18" Centerline Lazers and the tires are Dunlop SP Sports 245/40r18 front and 275/35r18 rear and in good condition. The car has also been lowered with lowering springs in the rear and QA1 adjustable coil-overs in the front. The interior is in excellent condition with very good leather and only the driver's lower seat foam showing signs of wear. I think the carpet was replaced by the dealer I bought the car from because it doesn't fit quite as nice as I expect a factory carpet to. Overall, the interior is very nice, especially for a 19 year old car. The car is located in Kennesaw GA and I have a clean title in hand. I urge any serious buyers to inspect the car and test drive it themselves or arrange a pre-purchase inspection. This is very nice car with nothing to hide. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any more specific details or additional photos. Also available, but not included are an extensive collection of parts to take this car to the next level performance wise. The key items are a very high end 396 LT1 stroker with a Callies 4340 crank, Oliver billet rods and custom 2618 Ross forged pistons. No Chinese Eagle or Scat junk. I've also got an LT1 Camaro T-56 six speed manual transmission that I've rebuilt with a Dodge Viper main shaft along with many, but not all of the parts needed to install it. If interested, the sale of these items can be negotiated separately. |

'Tomorrowland' movie will advertise Chevy Volt, E-NVs
Fri, Mar 27 2015Before the 2016 Chevrolet Volt arrives at dealerships, it's going to come to a cineplex near you. The next-generation hybrid and the EN-V electric networked vehicle concept will play bit parts in the background of the upcoming Disney movie Tomorrowland starring George Clooney and Britt Robertson. Chevrolet will run digital and television ads around the movie's opening, which is May 22 in the US. The Bowtie and Disney tie-up is another in their years-long collaboration, going back to the revamped Test Track that opened at Epcot Center in 2012, and Chevolet is also the official vehicle of Shanghai Disney. The press release below has more on the movie and the Volt, the movie trailer is above – there's no Volt in it, but there is a late-model Buick. Chevrolet and Disney See Possibilities in 'Tomorrowland' Film to help kick off marketing efforts for next-generation Chevrolet Volt DETROIT, 2015-03-26 – At their core, Disney and Chevrolet are entities of optimism, believing that with a little ingenuity, anything is possible. They will come together in the new Disney film "Tomorrowland" to imagine the possibilities. The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Volt and EN-V concepts appear in the backdrops of the present day and Tomorrowland. The film's U.S. debut is May 22. In Disney's riveting mystery adventure "Tomorrowland," a jaded scientist and an optimistic teen embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space. "Tomorrowland is a place where nothing is impossible, which is something that Chevrolet believes can exist in the here and now," said Tim Mahoney, vice president, Global Chevrolet. "The Chevrolet spirit reflects the hopes and possibilities of tomorrow in real instruments of change for today like the next-generation Chevrolet Volt." The first marketing efforts for the 2016 Chevrolet Volt will be tied to Tomorrowland. A television spot and digital advertising will debut in early May. The all-new Volt is an electric car with extended range, showcasing a sleeker, sportier design that offers 50 miles of EV range, greater efficiency and stronger acceleration. The Volt's new, efficient propulsion system will offer an estimated total driving range of more than 400 miles. With regular charging, owners can expect to average more than 1,000 miles between gas fill-ups. Chevrolet and Disney have a long history of collaboration around the globe.
2015 Chevrolet Trax
Thu, Dec 4 2014After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.
