This is a national Corvair convention 2 time "people's choice" award winning custom 1962 Corvair fuel-injected, Rampside pick-up on front airbags, with less than 100 miles on totally rebuilt F/I engine. The engine was built with 30 over forged pistons, Isky Camshaft, custom bolt on fuel injection, Mega Squirt programmable ECU, BBM mustang throttle body, GSXR fuel injectors, headers (which are dented on the bottom, but work fine), bullet pulley, one wire alt and painted, powder coated engine shrouds. 

The body was totally stripped and smoothed, including shaving of door handles and all body seams. Doors and airbags work off a key fob remote which is shown in the video link below. We made custom clear taillights with red LED bulbs and built-in front bumper fog lamps.
 This truck is painted with Nissan Infinity G35 Laser Blue and finished with a GM bright White Strip. The bed of the truck, cab roof, and cab floor, have been sprayed with a tough truck bed liner and colour matched with the Laser blue. Widows are tinted and 17x7 polished Centerline wheels with front disk brakes, front air bags, and totally rebuilt front suspension finish the sleek clean look.
Blue and white also carry onto the interior dash, vinyl seats and custom door panels. The dashboard fuel gauge and speedo have a laser cut white face insert that sits behind the dash glass but can be removed at the buyer's request). Included on the inside is a matching blue carpet, stereo, sub, amp and a spider head temp gauge mounted in the glove box door. 
Too much to list! This an amazing, fun truck. Buyer won't be disappointed!

As well as odds and ends bolts, screws and small door grommets which I haven't gotten around to buying yet. Tires are OK but should be changed in the next couple of years.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
