1957 Chevy Resto-Mod. The "Duke" as it is nick-named on the hood is something you might see from Counting Cars. It's mean and sinister looking and it is awesome to drive.
Completely restored with new inner and outer fenders, quarters, floors, trunk etc. all the metal is done right and looks great, especially with the "Lamborghini Matte Black" finish. The "Duke" is powered by a 350 chevy with some goodies, headers, chrome, and a Turbo Hydromatic 350 trans, runs and shifts really smooth and of course it runs on pump gas . It has a large aluminum radiator with an electric fan to keep it cool.
'"This car is set up for a big block if you wanted.. The frame is cross tied and axels are tied and secured as well. The car IS NOT Tubbed so it is a great cruiser, not a straight liner car.. The duke has a newer suspension including rack and pinion steering, four wheel disc brakes, custom suspension around the car. It is smooth. The "Duke" has the door handles shaved off the car and there are electric plunger type door openers below mounted in the rockers. The "Duke's interior is totally custom wrapped in custom Black Leather that is professionally done and looks great. The dash sports both old and new gauges chrome steering column and wheel, and a push button start! This car totally rules any car show as it is truly one of a kind yet tastefully done.
The "Duke" is one bad *ss resto 57.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
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.
