This is the ultimate muscle car! The custom built high performance 383 small block V8 in this car was built by Proformance Unlimited in 2009 and has seen less than 1000 miles since. As can be seen in the picture of the invoice the engine and transmission cost was $9500. Amazing race engine sound and performance but made for driving. Backed up by a new TH 350 transmission with a high stall converter. In the pictures I have included the invoice from the custom engine and transmission build that lists all of the parts and specs of the build. I even have the video of the engine being tested on the dyno. Additionally, this car is installed with a new, custom aluminum radiator. While the engine is big and powerful, the radiator keeps the engine very cool. The vehicle originally had a gear shift mounted on the column, but it has since been replaced with a T-Shift on the floor. Mechanically, it is pretty much ready! I converted the rear drum brakes to disc and installed drilled and slotted rotors and CPP calipers. The matching front rotors and calipers are sold with the car so a simple 2 hour install job. I also installed a rear torsion bar to help stabilize the entire car. All new front stabilizer urethane bushings sold with car as well. It is a true muscle car! For the new owner, this will be a paint job and interior project to finish up this muscle car beauty. Talking interior, the front bench seat was replaced with two bucket seats out of a vehicle from the same era while the rear bench seat remains original. The headliner and carpet is original and in good shape. As the condition description mentioned, there are very few dents and scratches on the vehicle. Out of these few, all are very minor. The chrome is not in bad shape. Nothing a little polish cant handle. I installed a new custom grill as well. There is no rust on this car anywhere, even the frame is rust free. I bought this project car when i saw how rust free it was. Clearly never seen salt. Lastly, the vehicle is rolling on Boyd Coddington wheels and Toyo Tires. The wheels are absolutely gorgeous and will look amazing on a fully restored muscle car. Take some time to check out the pictures I have uploaded so you can see all of this for yourself. I am selling this vehicle because I have moved my hobby from cars to planes and I do not think that I will ever get around to finishing this project. If you have any questions please contact me by email or phone. My cell number is 630-338-5143. Only serious buyers please!

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
