THE AWARD WINNING 1955 "SILVERBACK"! JUST COMPLETED A TWO YEAR PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION! LESS THAN 50 MILES!
105+ PHOTOS & VIDEO LOCATED BELOW! ENJOY!
If you're a Chevy guy (or gal) then you're going to enjoy our 55. If you're a Tri-Five guy (or gal), well
you're about to mess up all of your priorities by putting this thing at the top of your "want list". For that,
I apologize. If you're neither of the two, well chances are you're a Prius guy and if that's the case, I think
they've got reruns of Friends running on the Oprah network for all of April.
One of my good buddies just finished building this 55. He took it all the way down and brought it all
the way up. It just took 2nd place at World of Wheels (couple months ago). The paint and body work on the car is
great. It was done in a two stage base coat clear coat and was done by a very talented & experienced auto artist
by the name of Larry Liles. He owns Fine Line Customs out of Tightward, Missouri. The black and silver with the
combination of the staggered black rims, really give the 55 it's own mean appearance. Like a true Silverback, it
is hunched and ready to tear the street apart. All of the chrome & stainless has either been redone or replaced
with new pieces. The majority of it being refurbished. All of the glass through out the 55 has been replaced with
new smoked glass. It's got new body bushings as well as a new idler arm. He put all new emblems through out and
went ahead with the "Belair" upgrade.
The 350 motor within this 55 has been rebuilt and is in excellent mechanical order. The 600 Edelbrock
provides the perfect balance between having a nice cruiser but with enough power that if you want to get around
someone then there is more then plenty to work with. Want to just roast the tires to burn off some steam? She'll
do that and then some. It is fed by a new Holley Blue electric fuel pump. To keep her cool he installed a new
aluminum radiator. The 350 Turbo transmission was also rebuilt and functions flawlessly. She shifts through gears
with ease. He also bought and installed a brand new Ron Francis wiring harness. She does have four wheel disc
brakes all the way around. All of which work exceptionally well. The Ford 9' rear end also works flawlessly. He
also bought a new power steering setup for it which also works flawlessly.
The interior was completely tore down with the rest of the car at the beginning of the build. So all of it
was reupholstered. From the carpet to the headliner, it is all new. The tilt steering column along with the
brand new wood grain steering wheel, all new. When you first climb in, you immediately smell just how new it is.
It is quite comforting.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
