Here is a very nice classic 1969. Slight resto mod. Nothing over the top but I didn't want to build just another " clone " or " tribute " car. This is a frame on restoration. There are still a few details to taken care of on this car but I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a different project so sadly I have to sell this car. Bodywork and Paint The car was taken down to bare metel to properly take care of the body work. Some of the body seams were reworked and properly filled in ( not with bondo). The seams below the rear window, the seams around the front end of the car, above and below the grille. The front side markers were removed, filled in and relocated. They were also switched to 1968 side markers. I didnt the like long skinny 69 style markers. The front bumper was also reworked. I had the " horns " removed and rechromed. The car is painted a slight variation of Atomic Orange and finished off with some nice gray stripes. The rear spoiler was also reworked. It blends nicely in to the trunk deck lid. The rear lights are Marquez Design billet and I smoked the rear lenses. The bright red lenses didn't look good against the Atomic Orange. The smoked lenses play off the tinted windows nicely. Wheels are nice set of stock rally wheels. 15's in the rear mounted with Cooper Cobra Radial GT 245/60/15. On the front are 14" wheels on Coopers 225/70/14 with 2 inch drop spindles. Engine and Mechanical The 307 that was in the car was pulled and rebuilt to retain the originality. It was bored out .20 over. It has a mild RV cam, intake manifold was ported and polished. Holley 750 double pumper. The belt system was changed over to a serpentine belt drive system. Along with the serpentine setup comes an A/C pump but its not hooked up. The car was equiped with factory A/C but it wasn't able to be saved. Nice old school Holley valve covers. The alternator was taken apart, polished just enough to add a little shine, then reassembled. A nice billet spark plug wire harness keeps the wires out of the way and safe. Hooker Headers wrap around the Saginaw gearbox. Billet transmission dipstick. Optima Yellow Top Battery. Electric fan to help keep the engine cool. New gas tank. Dual exhaust that sounds awesome. The car still needs a few details to totally complete the car. Windshield wiper motor, wipers, fuel sending unit and weather stripping for upper window frame ( sorry, i dont know the technical name of that part) will just about wrap up the remaining details. The radio does not work but I just use my Big Jambox bluetooth speaker and play music from my phone, plenty loud enough. No speaker holes cut into anything. This is a fresh restoration. I barely have over 500 miles on the car since the restoration and just changed the braek in oil. If this car doesnt sell, I will be taking care of all the little details left and then take the car to Barrett-Jackson or Mecum. This camaro might not make it on to the grass at Pebble Beach but will definately hold its own at Barrett Jackson/Mecum auctions so I've been told be several people who go to these auctions and have seen this car in person. Registration is current and valid until November 2015. Nice pair of restored black california plates. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle to have satisfied his or her self as to the condition and value & to bid based upon that judgement.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
