Up for bid is a track ready 1978 Chevy Camaro body with a 1969 BBC 427ci engine block and heads (Engine code LA: 390HP), Turbo 350 transmission built to handle 800HP. Comp Cam: Camshaft, Roller Rockers, Roller Lifters. Engine was rebuilt with less than 1000 miles on it. Bore 30 over. Engine has about $8000 put into. Estimate to have 600+ HP and runs in the mid 11s at 1/4 mile track. Tires: Front Kumho 165/80/R15 87T, Rear MT 280/10.5/15. These tires and wheels cost over $1500 new. Engine idle smooth. DART high rise intake with 850cfm Holley double pump mechanical secondary. Empty NOS bottle and NOS system equipped ready, but never used. Most steel hoses and fittings. Electric Fan and new radiator. Long tube headers with mufflers. MSD ignition. Front brake lock up system for burn out. After market Sunpro Gauges, B&M floor shifter.
I was going to take the engine out and put it into my el camino but I've changed my mind. The engine is a real production engine and not a crate engine. Engine came from the 1969 Impala SS427 model pushing 390HP. Just wish I have room to keep this unique 1969 427 engine for later use. Here is your chance to own something hard to find. If you want to covert it to street legal, you can replace the windshield, headliner, back seat, windshield wipers, street tires, turn signals and horn. If you live near by, feel free to come and look at the car. I also have the car up for sale locally. Clear Title in hand.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
