Please note: This was made to be a radical one of a kind car. It has no top. It has no windows, but the look and
the attention it gets is second to none! Who would want to drive one of these with the top up anyhow? This started
its life as a bubbletop 59 Impala, but I wanted to be different, so here it is!
Body:
Blasted and painted with Dupont Cameo Coral and light flake--looks almost a tint of pink in the sunlight, and a
darker red out of the sun----between the trim on the side and on the dash and interior are a combination of the
cameo and silver light flake.Under side and trunk were lizard skinned.
New trunk pans and floor pans. All dynamat on floors. New gas tank. There is teak wood that is polyureathaned that
fits perfectly where the windows would have been to give a nice clean look. California one piece front bumper. all
trim and brightwork are excellent for the age of the car. Custom one piece front valance that wraps around. Dual
antennas on rear fins.

355 Chevy race motor-built for the track
500 lift cam
Diamond Pistons
Brodix racing heads
Edelbrock Victor bowtie Intake
Custom fabricated Sceptre air intake
Dual electric fans

Full airride suspension via air ride system--compressor with gauge mounted in trunk
switches are mounted with the stock power window switches on driver side.
Went with one inch lines instead of 1/2, so it goes up and down quick. People love it!
Has all gauges--after market for oil pressure, temperature(never runs above 180).
working gas gauge, and stock speedometer. It has a tack mounted on steering column but never hooked it up.
Stereo:
Kenwood head unit/with remote/bluetooth and hands free---all memphis audio 6 1/2's in doors and rear with a 10" sub
and memphis audio amp mounted behind back seat---custom made speaker enclosures in front doors from classic rear
well fenders covers.
Trunk has been carpeted and finished to complete the uniform and neat look.
The trunk and hood operate on seperate switches mounted under the dash that go up with accuators. both fit
perfectly. Nothing cooler than pulling up and using the switches and mouths drop to the floor!
Has door poppers on both sides custom located on inside.
I know I may have forgotten some things but feel free to reach out!

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
