Pikeville, North Carolina, United States
More infos regarding my car at: rachaelrbbuckhanan@ukfarmers.com .
Please note: This was made to be a radical one of a kind car. It has no top. It has no windows, but the look and
the attention it gets is second to none! Who would want to drive one of these with the top up anyhow? This started
its life as a bubbletop 59 Impala, but I wanted to be different, so here it is!
Body:
Blasted and painted with Dupont Cameo Coral and light flake--looks almost a tint of pink in the sunlight, and a
darker red out of the sun----between the trim on the side and on the dash and interior are a combination of the
cameo and silver light flake.Under side and trunk were lizard skinned.
New trunk pans and floor pans. All dynamat on floors. New gas tank. There is teak wood that is polyureathaned that
fits perfectly where the windows would have been to give a nice clean look. California one piece front bumper. all
trim and brightwork are excellent for the age of the car. Custom one piece front valance that wraps around. Dual
antennas on rear fins.

355 Chevy race motor-built for the track
500 lift cam
Diamond Pistons
Brodix racing heads
Edelbrock Victor bowtie Intake
Custom fabricated Sceptre air intake
Dual electric fans
Power steering
March serpentine belt system

Full airride suspension via air ride system--compressor with gauge mounted in trunk

Went with one inch lines instead of 1/2, so it goes up and down quick. People love it!
Has all gauges--after market for oil pressure, temperature(never runs above 180).
working gas gauge, and stock speedometer. It has a tack mounted on steering column but never hooked it up.
Stereo:
Kenwood head unit/with remote/bluetooth and hands free---all memphis audio 6 1/2's in doors and rear with a 10" sub

well fenders covers.
Trunk has been carpeted and finished to complete the uniform and neat look.
The trunk and hood operate on seperate switches mounted under the dash that go up with accuators. both fit
perfectly. Nothing cooler than pulling up and using the switches and mouths drop to the floor!
Has door poppers on both sides custom located on inside.
I know I may have forgotten some things but feel free to reach out!

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
