You are bidding on an almost complete 1964 Impala Convertible project car. There are so many upgrades that I may miss a few contact me for a link to pictures that will tell the entire story. To start, the body was removed from the frame and both were acid dipped to clean the rust away and leave only good metal. From there, floor pans, trunk pan, and quarter panels were replaced then the entire body was e coated at the Nissan plant along side the new cars (the frame also received the same e coat treatment after boxing in the x and adding other support and mounts for a full corvette front end). The body is as straight as they get! A custom aluminum firewall was fabricated, a custom 9" Ford rear end was purchased as well as a 2006 GTO LS1 and auto tranny. The LS1 has a full Billet Specialities Tru Trac Anodized Black setup and is custom painted to match the frame with red accents (transmission is painted to match as well). The suspension is one off, starting with corvette components up front and custom setup in the rear and both are finished off with Air Ride technologies shockwaves with auto ride height for the perfect stance and ride. The car sits on billet 20" & 22" Bonspeed Huntington's that have also been painted. SSBC big brake kit all around with custom painted calipers. All suspension components, aluminum firewall, custom aluminum fuel tank, and other trim pieces have been fully polished to a show quality finish. There is a custom stainless steel exhaust from the headers back with magnaflow mufflers. The headers are fully welded but the remainder of the exhaust is only tacked.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
