Thomasville, North Carolina, United States
Car has power windows, pdl,tilt wheel,A/C,AM/FM,CD stereo with remote, 4 spkrs (2 in dash 2 behind curtain) this car is pretty close to being new from front to back.I have spent over $12,000 in this car restoring it in parts and materials alone not including labor. I have most of the receipts, I misplaced a few but will try to list what has been done to this car. Mechanical: new GM crate motor 350/350 horse cam & lifters, new edelbrock performance RPM intake w/endurashine,new edelbrock 600 cfm carb w/electric choke and A/C solenoid and edelbrock chrome valve covers and air cleaner, chrome alternator and brackets, new CARQUEST battery and custom made battery cables, transmission has all new seals and gaskets installed, tranny shop said it looked great inside, new hurst shifter, new steering gear and p/s hoses, new ball joints and control arm bushings,idler arm,pitman arm,sway bar bushings in front of car, added rear sway bar to car, Gabriel red rider shocks in front, Gabriel airshocks in rear (car came factory with rear airshocks) new all aluminum radiator and new water pump, A/C system new condenser,accumulator,orfice tube, hoses,compressor was replaced 3 yrs ago, A/C works great. Interior: new carpet complete front to back including curtain behind the seat, sound deadner was applied to the floor before jute and carpet were installed, new seal plates were installed at same time, new headliner,seat recovered,new dash bezel and cover, new door panels and arm rest pads, new stereo system,new steering wheel,new heater and A/C control panel, new bulbs thru out cabin and dash, new fuel gauge and sending unit as well as a new gas tank. Body: new hood, new R/F fender,new tailgate, new bumpers F &R,new bed corner and tailgate moulding, new chrome grille and bezels,all emblems were removed and painted on underneath the clear just like stripes on hood, car is very straight and slick,its not a show car although people say it is, but I have high standards since I do the work myself. The car does draw attention everywhere we drive it. This was a 98% rustfree car to begin with, only had a small spot about the size of a quarter in the bed that was surface rust and was spot blasted and treated before anything else was done. The car has custom dual exhaust w/original manifolds, no headers,no cats, has a deep mellow sound not too loud. The wheels are new American Racing Hopster polished 17 x 7 on the front, 17 x 8 on the rear, the tires are Nito (235/45/17 front: 255/45/17 rear) the color is butternut yellow w/black SS stripes on the hood, frame was painted with pore 15 black epoxy paint. new windshield and driver side glass, all new weather stripping. I am sure I am forgetting a lot that has been done but if you have any questions please email me. I have owned this car since 2008 and have enjoyed it, but I have a new project so this one has to go to a new home. The car is fun and dependable. It was originally two tone gold on top and brown at the bottom, but was completely repainted except for the inside floor pans, they are still original color. All receipts for parts and materials will go w/the car, the ones I have total up to almost $12,000 and that is just parts, doesn't include any labor. Thanks For Looking.. The only problem I know to exist with the car is the oil gauge will stick occasionally but starts back to working... the back glass has a rattle if you hit a bump or rough road.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The 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.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
