This 1970 Big Block 454 RestoMod has had a tremendous overhaul done to it and has been garage kept in a temperature regulated garage. The recent restoration was completed January, 2013. As soon as the car was delivered, the entire interior was stripped. All new floors were welded throughout the vehicle along with a complete new undercoat. The car was then lined with custom cut Dynamat material throughout all the floors, doors and trunk. Custom fabricated shoulder seatbelts were installed in the front and rear of the car. Then, the seats all received new cushion and a special paint was applied. The wiring was redone where needed. A new steering crank shaft was installed along with a 1970 SS steering wheel. The AC unit was checked and fully functioning. A new Retro classic style head unit was installed along with 2, 4x6 JBL speakers as well as 2, 6x9 JBL speakers in the rear. 2 Amps with a 10” subwoofer were custom fit in the trunk along with all wiring. New door handles and window crank shafts were installed as was the rear deck meshing. The 3 speed shifter was rewired along with all wiring to front and rear lights as well as reverse lights. The interior was then reassembled with updated headliner, door panels and carpet. It was then onto adding 4 disc brakes, shocks and springs. An air-ride suspension was installed along with an adaptor in the trunk to raise or lower the suspension. An entire new fuel line from front to back was assembled as was a new rear axle, front and rear suspension with a Posi differential. The chrome, large off-set AmericanRacing rims were installed on the vehicle. Inside the engine, the engine was tested, everything was properly aligned, and a new battery and battery wiring was complete. All new cabeling with heat wraps were installed for protection from this massive engine. Additionally, a new, large, chrome alternator was installed to handle the power this car outputs. The horn was customized with an Dixie trumpet air horn inside the front grill. All bulbs outside the Chevelle were replaced as was the front hood latch. The final step besides the MasterFlo duel exhaust, was to add an Electronic Muffler Bypass, or cutout with an electronic switch. This allow you to not only increase the air outflow but sound from this beast of an engine. Windows and window trim was tested and resealed where necessary. Many other little tweaks were also done along the way. The engine and paint were complete prior to me purchasing the car however I have kept it garage kept and fully washed and waxed at all times. If you are looking for an amazing on the frame restauration where no expense was spared on updating a 1970 Chevelle Big Block 454 with a 3 speed 400 Trany, then this is the car for you.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectivelyÂ— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Crash victim found still inside car 6 hours after it was towed away [w/video]

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Police near Dayton, OH, have quite a confusing case on their hands after the victim of a crash early on New Year's Day couldn't initially be found. Six hours later, the man was discovered lying on the vehicle's floorboard at the tow yard. The unidentified person was admitted to a local hospital in critical condition with possible leg injuries. The police first responded to the scene of the crash around 3:00 am on New Year's Day when a Chevrolet Impala hit a utility pole and drove through a fence, according to WHIO News. The authorities claim that they searched for the man for an hour and a half and came up with nothing. The car was then hauled away to the yard, which was only about 500 feet away. The tow yard worker found the man around 9:00 am and called 911. However, he was clearly dubious about the injured man's predicament and suggested to the operator that he might have returned to the Impala. Police are still investigating the incident. According to WHIO, authorities might have somehow missed the man in the sedan during the search. Alternatively, he could have left the scene of the accident and later returned. Watch the video below for more about this bizarre case. The video meant to be presented here is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2020 Chevy Trax spied sporting design cues from the new Blazer

Wed, Oct 3 2018

We saw spy shots in August for what we thought was either a redesigned Chevrolet Trax or new GMC subcompact crossover. At the time we were leaning Chevy. But after this latest batch of spy shots taken near GM's proving grounds, we're now thinking this one is the Trax replacement and the other one was a GMC. For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the 2019 Chevy Blazer's LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the Blazer as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today's Trax with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer. Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn't have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the GMC Terrain, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don't exactly look production-ready anyway. If we're right about this being the next Trax (and we're pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it's shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.
