1955 Chevy Bel-Air 2 door, no post, frame off restoration with a high attention to detail. 
Where to start?  About 5 years ago, the body was taken off the frame, sand blasted to metal.   All body work and paint was done off the frame and it is very nice.  Base coat clear. 

Motor & Trans:
2004 GTO LS1 with only 48,000 miles on it.  4L60E automatic transmission out of the same car.  It has the factory belt set up with a Vintage A/C bracket & compressor.   
4" polished cold air intake set up with a nice filter.
Sanderson coated headers out to true dual flow-masters 40 series out the back.  Sounds awesome.
Custom made stand alone wire harness and re-flashed ECM.  Everything works and has a functioning check engine light.  Any shop can scan the car, watch data & codes. 
2013 Custom camaro engine cover.  Trimmed and fits very nice. 

Cooling system:
Custom made aluminum radiator with dual electric fans controlled by the computer. You can drive this car with the a/c in 100 deg. all day long and she runs cool.
It is mounted to a custom Billet radiator support and a/c condenser.  Very expensive and polished for show. 

Rear End:
Custom ford 9" with 4 link, coil over set up.  It is connected to the transmission with a custom made drive shaft that was also chromed. 
It has 3:89 Posi set up.

Suspension:
Besides the motor & trans and maybe the paint & body, this is the best part of the car.  It handles like or better then a new Corvette.
Front : 
Heidts upper & lower tubular control arms.  Chromed and polished for show.  Heidts 1 1/8 sway bar.  QA1 coil over with chromed springs.  Close ratio power steering box with all new steering components. 
Rear:
Heidts rear 4 link set up.  All powder coated black.  Coil overs as well, polished for show. 

Brakes:
4-wheel, power disc brakes.   Stops on a dime. 
Front:
CPP 13" drilled and slotted rotor with Zinc plated hardware.  Chromed 2 piston calipers with braided lines. 
Rear:
CPP 12.5" drilled and slotted rotors with a built in e-brake set up.  
 
Frame:
Frame was removed from body, welds cleaned up and sand blasted and powder coated gloss black and look amazing.  All new polyurethane body bushing and hardware were installed.

Fuel system:
Custom made stainless gas tank with a baffle system, installed in the factory spot.  Has a in line electric fuel pump controlled by the computer.  Nice stainless steel lines & fittings.

Interior:
All new interior.  Factory front bench seat with new custom made covers and foam.
Factory rear seat done to match.  Very nice door panels covered to match.  New headliner and polished bows.

American Auto wire updated wiring harness from bumper to bumper.
Vintage heat & A/C.
Optima Red top battery re-located in the trunk with a master shut off.
Every nut & bolt is new.  Either painted or stainless.

There is way to much detail to see in pictures.   This is one car that looks better in person then in pictures.  If you can beleave that. 

The only thing not working as of right now is the E-brake.   I will try to have it done before auction ends. 
This car has been in a couple car shows and has won builders choice. 
This car was built to show and drive.  Fly in and drive it home.    It has about 850 trouble free miles on her since completion.

Any question please contact Joe @ 925-786-1139

I have over 200 pictures I can email you if needed.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
