CONTACT JEFF AT 570-977-0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a gorgeous 1978 Chevelle 2-door sedan that has been transformed into an extremely fast, beautiful street machine, with a late sixties, early seventies theme. This is originally a North Carolina southern car. The smooth as glass candy apple red paint looks a foot deep. A cowl hood with ghost SS stripes compliments the beautiful paint work. The black interior is perfect and is equipped with the factory tilt wheel. That is about the only luxury or comfort item you will find here. This car was built with two things in mind. Looking good and going FAST !!! If you want a car that drives like your BMW or Lexus then this isn't the car for you ! If you want a serious real car guy's car that will literally tear up the streets and blow the doors off the competition, then this is the car for you ! The engine is a 1977 Chevy 454 cubic inch big block that is fresh and has been built for street use. Cylinder heads are oval port open chamber style with 2.06 valves and 7/16 push rods and guide plates. The cam, lifters, and valve springs are all supplied by Lunati. The cam lift is .544 and duration is 292 degrees. The cylinder heads are attached with 20 thousandths steel head gaskets which assist in bringing the compression to 9.9:1 according to the dyno. Block has been bored .10 over. A double roller timing set is installed. The fuel is supplied by electric fuel pumps feeding a 3310 Holley 750 CFM carburetor mounted to an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. Spark is provided by a MSD HEI ignition with an ACCEL coil. Distributor springs were replaced with light units. A high torque gear reduction starter with a heat shield handles the starting chores. Cooling is handled by a new 4-core heavy duty aluminum radiator with an electric fan. Exhaust exits through Hooker headers and a complete new 3 inch "Pypes" exhaust system with an X-pipe crossover and Flowmaster mufflers. This car sounds fantastic ! The power transfer to the differential is handled by a Muncie M-21 four speed transmission that is rebuilt. Clutch and pressure plate are new. 4-Speed shifter is also brand new. The driveshaft is a custom made oversize unit with large U-joints. The rearend is a 12-bolt Positraction unit from a 1970 Chevelle with 3.73 gears. Rear air bags aid in suspension and allow for an adjustable rear ride height. There is also AC Delco shocks in the rear and heavy duty adjustable four link bars off either side of the top of the differential. BFG tires in the front are 215/70R15. The tires are cheater slicks in the rear. BF Goodrich Comp T/A Drag Radials 275/60R15. Early style rally wheels add to the late 60's early 70's theme. Careful calculation was employed to insure the wide rear tires fit inside the wheel wells. This car looks and sits right. This car runs and drives like an earlier vintage Chevelle. The difference is that it's faster due to it's lighter curb weight, and it costs half as much ! It was built with a racing theme and was even lightened with the addition of a fiberglass hood and deletion of the heater, wipers and wiper motor, and radio. A custom dash is outfitted with a full compliment of phantom gauges including a recall tachometer and fuel pressure gauge. Racing seat belts have also been added. The racing theme continues into the trunk with the addition of an aluminum heavy duty fuel cell and trunk mounted battery. Since this car is a fresh build of a car that originated and spent most of it's life in North Carolina it is a rust free car. Underside photos reveal frame and floors are restored and painted. This car has very few miles on it since it's completion. I don't know how it would do at the drag strip, but I will say it hooks up extremely well and will hold you back in the seat. This is a show quality car that would be a compliment to any collection and would be a hit at the car shows ! Since the build and restoration were performed by the previous owner, my summary of this car is based soley on a complete physical inspection and conversation with him. If any prospective buyer has any doubts about this car's condition or integrity, I welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment only. I have in hand a clean Pennsylvania title ready for transfer to the new owner. This car is being sold in AS-IS condition with no actual or implied warranty or guarantee. Please take the time to look at all the photos. I have even put this car up on a lift to photo the undercarriage to show the solid integrity of the car. This car's buy it now price is less than what the build and restoration would cost.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
