This is a 1986 Chevy. El Camino with a 5.7L Tuned Port Injection engine and 700r4 4-speed automatic trans from a 1987 Pont. Trans Am. 
Car runs and drives great, have original build sheet to show it's a real SS 
Upgrades / modifications:
Choo-Choo Customs nose (looks like Monte SS nose)
Engine / transmission / ECM and wiring harness from donor car.
New AC plugs
New Accel wires and module
Cold air intake
Over-sized front stabilizer bar, close ratio steering box and sway bar links from the Trans Am.
New ball joints
20 gal fuel tank from Chevy Caprice wagon.
Correct high volume fuel pump from Trans Am
New fuel lines tank to engine
Over-sized front brake rotor, calipers and pads from 02 Chevy Trailbazer 
Brake lines have been flushed and re-filled with new fluid
60" drive shaft from Olds Delta 88
Gabriel air shocks on rear
Monte Carlo SS rims w/ brand new tires.

General info:
Interior is complete, no rips or tears but does show wear. (Planned  to replace seat using buckets from Monte SS) Dash has cracks and needs a dash cap installed.

Needs to be done::
Transmission tail-shaft speedo output is electric, needs to be converted to mechanical (speedometer will not work until the conversion is done)
Minor body work including replacing the tailgate
Completing air conditioning, needs dryer, high pressure line and charged. Compressor is on and turns freely, believe it to be good.
New headliner. 
Good performance exhaust system. Currently has factory TA headers into 2 1/4" dual exhaust with Flowmasters. 

READ THIS PART CAREFULLY:
Engine does smoke some, mostly at start-up. I believe the valve seals need replaced but have not spent any time on it because I had planned  to go completely through the motor to build as a beefed up daily driver. Engine has no lifter and no bottom end noise to indicate any internal problems. Again, engine runs very strong with NO bottom end noise. 

This car is no where near show ready but is rust-free, needs only minor body work and has an awesome engine set up for a driver or to be built as a hot rod.

Anti-purist 1963 Ferrari GTE sports hot rod Chevy V8

Thu, Oct 8 2015

I remember reading a story around the time Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift came out. It focused on one of the star cars of that film, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback that started the film as a shell, and in a pinch, was transformed into a modified masterpiece, complete with the RB26DETT engine from a Nissan Skyline GT-R (which started the film under the hood of an S15 Silvia). There was a genuine (and in our minds, absurd) fear in the article that taking a piece of classic American iron and fitting a twin-turbocharged JDM engine would result in some awful trend in the classic car community. If you thought a GT-R-powered classic Mustang was sacrilege, though, this car will probably make you vomit. For the rest of us, it's a neat piece of engineering. Shown above is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE, and yes, that's a 302-cubic-inch, small-block Chevrolet V8 under the hood. On top of that, it uses the six-speed manual transmission from a Viper, a nine-inch Ford rear end, and Mitsubishi-sourced paint. So yeah, it's a FrankenFerrari. Check out Road Heads' interview with this custom GTE's owner, which is followed by a brief test drive. And of course, head into Comments afterwards, and let us know what you think. Is this Yankee-powered 250 GTE blasphemous or badass?

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'

Tue, Apr 28 2020

Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24.  The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series.  Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz.           View this post on Instagram                   Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.
