If you're looking for a bad-to-the-bone pro-street Nova that gets attention wherever it goes, then this is it.  Every square inch on this car is done and done right.  Show quality, top to bottom.  Over $60k invested, this car is magazine material.  Only 600 street driven miles since completion.  It has NEVER been raced down a drag strip.


I'll let the pictures do most of the talking, but here are some technical details:

Engine:
Steve Schmidt Racing 523 cubic inch big block.  10.5/1 compression runs on 91 octane or better.  All cylinders compression-checked at 190 psi.
Dynoed at 743HP and 630 torque.
Dart big M block, 4 bolt mains.  All forged internals with upgraded rings and wrist pins suitable for up to 300 HP nitrous.   Note that the car is equipped with a NOS fogger system, currently calibrated for 250 HP.  It has NEVER been activated.
Dart Pro-Filer 24 degree aluminum cylinder heads.  Special porting by Steve Schmidt Racing. Intake port flows 415cfm, exhaust port flows 303cfm.  2.30/1.88 valves.
Proprietary billet roller camshaft.  .748 intake lift / .723 exhaust lift
Dart Pro-1 intake manifold
Comp cams stainless 1.7 rocker arms with stud girdles.
Holley 1050 carb, modded for perfect air/fuel ratios for peak HP and improved drive-ability.
MSD pro-billet distributor with composite gear.
Hidden MSD 6AL ignition system under the dash.
Serpentine belt system with low-mounted alternator for a clean look.

Transmission:
Competition TH400 with tranz-brake, full manual valve body, no engine braking.
Deep aluminum pan.
Transmission Specialities torque converter.  5000 stall.
Huge trans cooler for low temps.

Rear end:
Dana 60 with 4.56 gears, Trac-Lok differential and 35 spline axles

Interior:
Custom carbon fiber dash with autometer gauges.
Sony sound system with CD player (it sounds incredible!)
Early 90's camaro bucket seats, modded for the racing harnesses.
Turbo-Action shifter, with line-loc and tranz-brake buttons.
AEM wide-band gauge, makes tuning a breeze.
Twin polished nitrous bottles in billet bracket.

Wheels:
Billet Specialities 15x6 (front) and 15x12 (rear)
Hoosier front tires and Phoenix PH55R slicks on the back (32 tall and 15 1/2 wide, these babies hook!)

Misc:
Custom 3 1/2 inch exhaust (cost $1500)
Hooker super-comp headers
10 point cage
Polished 15 gallon fuel cell
Polished battery box with master safety switch
Deist parachute, easily removable.
Twin fuel pumps, lines and regulators.  Each on own circuit.
Huge Fluidyne aluminum radiator.  Even in sweltering Florida heat, engine runs 200 degrees or less.
MSD 6AL, 2-step and MSD starter saver all hidden under the dash for a very clean look.
ARC roll-bar mounted switch panel.

This car is very streetable, reliable and never runs hot.  The tires are 32 inches in diameter, so the 4.56 rear gear is effectively only about a 3.90 ratio, which means you can cruise at 60 MPH all day long.
The stereo sounds amazing.  It has 50 watts per channel so you can cruise while jamming your favorite tunes.

I have a reserve that is VERY fair.  It took over $60k to build this awesome machine and it can be yours for a fraction of the cost.  Everything is new, every single wire and bolt has been restored or replaced.  Go anywhere and win a trophy!  This car is mid 10 second capable (on engine only) and mid 9 second (on spray), so I reserve the right to refuse the sale if I feel that the buyer can't handle the power that this thing delivers.

This car is perfect and needs nothing.  It does not drip any fluids nor puff any smoke.  Everything works.
No trades.  Don't ask to end the auction early.  Don't ask me for the reserve.  Good luck bidding!

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
