Double Nickel 55 Chevrolet BelAir
This amazing 2-door sedan has a 40+ year history as a rust free Alberta car and has just received an over the top 2-year rotisserie restoration with no expense having been spared. Appraised at $265,500.00 there is no other like it, and it would cost more than a quarter million to have a shop duplicate this Hot Rod 55 for you. The car is an all original sheet metal build that was stripped to bare metal and built with the highest degree to detail throughout. It's equipped with a street friendly big block making over 713hp and an amazing 732 foot pounds of torque. Here's the short list of options:
Big Block Chev 565ci Dart Big M Engine
Tremec T-56 Magnum 6 Speed Manual Transmission
Currie 9" Locker Differential with Strange 35 Spline Axles
Pro Stock 4-Link Rear with QA1 Coil Over Shocks
Heidts Tubular Front Suspension with QA1 Coil Overs
Hydra-Tech Power Brakes with Wilwood Master
Wilwood 4-wheel Disk Brakes w/ Drilled Slotted Rotors
Weld Classic RT Wheels with Hoosier Pro Street Tires
House of Kolor 3-Stage Paint w/ Professional Cut& Polish
Custom Leather Interior with Art Morrison 8 Point Cage
Stainless Return Fuel System with Aeromotive A-1000 Pump
Ricks 22 Gallon Stainless Steel Tank with Filler in Taillight
Tinted Glass, Restored Polished Original Stainless
Power Windows, Remote Controls, Professional Audio
Extensive on board electronics, professionally wired.
The list goes on and on...and so does the custom stuff!
The car starts instantly, is very easy to drive, makes phenomenal power and will literally stop on a dime. It cruises at 2000 rpm while doing 75 mph and averages 12 mpg highway. I built the car from scratch with the help of a few friends while the body,paint and upholstery were handled by the pros. I have all receipts, pictures and technical info for the entire build. It was completed in June 2013 and I just finished working out the bugs where the car is ready to go into a collection and become somebody else's favorite hot rod. Awards and wins at major shows include numerous best in class, outstanding in class, outstanding paint, best engine, outstanding detail, best interior, outstanding street machine, peoples choice awards, and the list goes on.
This is a high end build for the "serious" hot rod collector. I will openly discuss the possible sale with those who "have the means" to own it and will consider a partial or group trade on late 60's muscle cars, a TriFive 4x4, 30's Hot Rod, or original Chevrolet survivor cars. No interest in anything after 1972 and no interest in bikes, projects or basket cases. This car is also advertised locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at anytime should a private sale be made. Payment by direct bank to bank wire is required and payment subject to bank clearing times before vehicle is picked up or shipped. I will work with overseas buyers to have the car shipped to a suitable port of entry for shipping by sea carrier. Serious collectors can call me direct at 403-669-4035 between 10AM and 10PM Mountain Standard Time. My time is valuable as I'm sure your is, so please, lets not waste anyone's time.

Thanks for looking.

I've had a bunch of questions about the car so here are some of the answers. Exhaust is all custom made with 321 Stainless Steel. Headers have 1/2" Stainless Flanges and they're a stepped design from 2" to 2-1/8" primaries with 3.5" merge collectors. There is 3" stainless tubes running to the rear bumpers with Hooker Aero Chamber Mufflers and V-Band connectors for quick release. The sound of the exhaust is very deep and throaty, and when you put your foot into it, it becomes very loud indeed. The steering is Rack & Pinion with a custom stainless tubular mount and polished stainless Borgeson shafts. Steers great and I had it aligned in June 2013 when the car was brought out. Brakes are power assist from the hydraulics and runs off the accumulator which is mounted behind the master cylinder (very responsive). The radiator is a PRC 2 row heavy duty aluminum rad and it runs with dual Spal 2300cfm 12" fans and a custom made shroud. I run with one fan around town and both fans when stuck in traffic. Runs in the 180 range with both fans when in thick traffic on a hot summer day. The rad, the support and the shroud have all been painted body color with House of Kolor paint to match the car. The cage within the car is from Art Morrison but has a few custom touches to fit it tight to the headliner. It was designed to be removable and can be taken out with very minimal work so that's not a problem. It's not tagged yet but can be done at anytime to meet NHRA certification. The car is capable of a 10.5 second quarter mile and hooks up very well. I has not been down the track yet but is track ready should the new owner decide to race the car on a given weekend.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
