Here is my 1964 Impala SS that I have been working on here and there for the last 3 years or so. I initially picked the car up from a retired fire fighter in Chicago area who was ill and could no longer enjoy the car. After getting it home I drove her once and began removing all the fenders, doors and trunk lid and suspension. Every nut and bolt has been replaced with new, along with all of the body bushings. The belly of the car (inside & out) and frame have been coated with POR-15, and then recoated with a gloss coating. The body is painted medium aqua metallic and the top is a Cadillac pearl white tri coat. I would rate the paint a 7-8 out of 10, there are a few little imperfections that you may or may not notice in the pics and video attached. http://youtu.be/hmuZQW_MRxo There are more videos under my videos section and pictures under my photobucket link here http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/debozmail/slideshow/

Trim: All of the side trim is original and in great condition with a nice luster. The front grill has been hand polished, and the eyebrows, hood lip and lower molding has been replaced with new. The rear trim is original, besides the cove trims I replaced due to them being dinged. Headlight rings have been polished, rear tail light chrome replaced. Bumpers are original and in nice shape.
Suspension: All of the suspension is either chrome or painted. the front upper and lower control arms are triple plated, along with the front coil springs, tie rods, spindles steering knuckles, rear trailing arms, center link & idler and pitman arms. All of the bushings are new energy suspension bushings.. Steering has been upgraded to a solid jeep shaft to eliminate the use of the old non responsive rag joints, and is hooked to a CPP 500 steering box with a sport ratio.
Interior: I replaced the front seat covers and foam a few months ago. The rear seat is original, but in good condition. The entire tub of the car has been coated in por-15 and then sealed with Fatmat sound deadening material all the way up to the door glass. All of the interior trim has been polished and looks great. All (5) of the interior lights work as they should. Custom kick panels and door panels that house (6) Pioneer 3 way speakers. The rear package tray has been recovered and houses (4) Pioneer 6x9 3 ways that match the door and kick panel components. Rear water fall trim has had the grain smoothed out and chromed, along with the center speaker trim in the seat. The interior is very nice, please see the pictures and video. The speedo cluster has been swapped to a Dakota Digital, and the column is a chrome tilt that was moved forward 2 inches for extra room. The stock ones always felt too close to me. Trunk is custom and houses (2) 12" Rockford subwoofers and a Rockford amp setup under plexiglass with L.E.D's. American Auto wire update kit is installed, every wire in the car is brand new and replaced.
Drivetrain: I replaced the sbc motor with a ls motor equipped with Vette heads, cam and intake. Chrome headers with o2 bungs, all new coils, plug wires, black an6 fuel line etc. Transmission is a 4l65e with shiftworks shifter linkage hooked to the original shifter. Front belt system is from Dirty Dingo, and water pump, gaskets, Melling oil pump are all new. Drive shaft has the CPP HD aluminum carrier bearing, with slip yoke at the rear end. Rear end is a Versailles with all new gaskets. Car is equipped with 4 wheel disc brakes attached to a hydroboost system out of an 05 Silverado 2500. CPP show chrome master with built in proportioning valve, all new brake lines etc. Engine harness and computer is from PSIconversions out of NJ. Pedal and tac module are hidden behind the dash. Engine bay wires have been tucked for the clean low visibility look. New gas tank, Walbro fuel pump and 60 psi Vette filter/regulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUaTIzjs5WE Have the mufflers, still needs exhaust ran before I forget to add that. Plan on getting it done as soon as time permits with my schedule.
Wheels: *NEW*13x7 72 spoke cross laced rims with Dayton spinners and new 155/80/13 tires.

I'm sure like most I'm forgetting some things, but at this point it's easy to tell that this was an extensive build. Feel free to message me with questions if you have them and they're not covered here. $1000 deposit due at the end of the auction and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Car is sold "as is" with no warranties implied. Serious inquiries can text 937-418-0776. Thanks for your time and viewing my car.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
