Car has power windows, pdl,tilt wheel,A/C,AM/FM,CD stereo with remote, 4 spkrs (2 in dash 2 behind curtain) this car is pretty close to being new from front to back.I have spent over $12,000 in this car restoring it in parts and materials alone not including labor. I have most of the receipts, I misplaced a few but will try to list what has been done to this car. Mechanical: new GM crate motor 350/350 horse cam & lifters, new edelbrock performance RPM intake w/endurashine,new edelbrock 600 cfm carb w/electric choke and A/C solenoid and edelbrock chrome valve covers and air cleaner, chrome alternator and brackets, new CARQUEST battery and custom made battery cables, transmission has all new seals and gaskets installed, tranny shop said it looked great inside, new hurst shifter, new steering gear and p/s hoses, new ball joints and control arm bushings,idler arm,pitman arm,sway bar bushings in front of car, added rear sway bar to car, Gabriel red rider shocks in front, Gabriel airshocks in rear (car came factory with rear airshocks) new all aluminum radiator and new water pump, A/C system new condenser,accumulator,orfice tube, hoses,compressor was replaced 3 yrs ago, A/C works great.

The car does draw attention everywhere we drive it. This was a 98% rustfree car to begin with, only had a small spot about the size of a quarter in the bed that was surface rust and was spot blasted and treated before anything else was done. The car has custom dual exhaust w/original manifolds, no headers,no cats, has a deep mellow sound not too loud. The wheels are new American Racing Hopster polished 17 x 7 on the front, 17 x 8 on the rear, the tires are Nito (235/45/17 front: 255/45/17 rear) the color is butternut yellow w/black SS stripes on the hood, frame was painted with pore 15 black epoxy paint. new windshield and driver side glass, all new weather stripping. I am sure I am forgetting a lot that has been done but if you have any questions please email me. I have owned this car since 2008 and have enjoyed it, but I have a new project so this one has to go to a new home. The car is fun and dependable. It was originally two tone gold on top and brown at the bottom, but was completely repainted except for the inside floor pans, they are still original color. All receipts for parts and materials will go w/the car, the ones I have total up to almost $12,000 and that is just parts, doesn't include any labor. Thanks For Looking.. The only problem I know to exist with the car is the oil gauge will stick occasionally but starts back to working... the back glass has a rattle if you hit a bump or rough road.

Race Recap: Rolex 24 at Daytona was fast and feisty
Mon, Jan 26 2015Let the record show that victory at the 2015 Rolex 24 at Daytona went to the No. 02 Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates Target/Ford EcoBoost Riley DP driven by Verizon IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan and NASCAR drivers Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larson. The winner did 740 laps to cover 2,634.3 miles in 24 hours and 57.667 seconds. That's a statement to this year's pace in spite of 18 cautions, two more than last year: the Michael Shank Racing Ligier got pole with a time of 1:39.194, slower than last year's pole time of 1:38.270; however, the winning car last year only did 695 laps. The fight for top honors was shaved to a four-car battle over the first third of the event. The No. 02 Ganassi car took the lead on the first lap, swapping it well into the night with the No. 01 Ganassi car, the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP, and the defending champion No. 5 Action Express Corvette DP, all of them staying within about 20 seconds of one another. The Action Express car had a fuel connector come loose and lost three laps getting towed back to the pits to have it reattached, but was back in the lead 18 hours in. The No. 01 Ganassi car dropped out with recurring clutch problems 22 hours in, retiring not long after. A race-within-the-race is where the concluding action happened, a seven minute, 30-second dash from the end of the last caution to the checkered flag. During the penultimate pit stops with an hour to go, Dixon was in second place followed Jordan Taylor in the Wayne Taylor Racing DP into the pits but beat him out, taking the lead. The Action Express car was in third. In the last pit stops of the race, Dixon gained even more time, getting a four-second advantage over Taylor. Then a full-course caution came out twenty minutes before the finish when a Prototype Challenge car hit the wall and caught fire, bunching up the field. That closed the pits, but the Wayne Taylor Racing car had to pit during that yellow because of a miscalculation of driver time. No driver can be behind the wheel for more than four hours in a six-hour period but Jordan Taylor was going to go over, so he came in to swap out for brother Ricky. That cost the team any chance of second place, since they took an additional drive-through penalty for entering closed pits. When the track went green again, Sebastien Bourdais in the Action Express car stayed all over Dixon for the final five laps but couldn't get around him.
Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If 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.
