Up for sale is a 1960 Biscayne 2 door post. This is a beautiful car and a true head turner! It has been customized slightly, but still offers a traditional feel including the original minimal bright work including the stainless/chrome trim. All of the trim and bumpers except for a new grill and hood lip are the original parts. The custom interior was done with "stock like" stitching to keep the era. The exterior is a bright white and is in great condition. A custom billet grill has been made and installed to set this car apart from any other and subtle red pinstripe down the side spears have been added to compliment the interior. There are a few minor blemishes as I drive this car, but being a southern car originally, the body is very straight and absent of fill. Only one area of concern exists on the passenger rear quarter lip, but is not terribly noticable. It would eventually need addressed, but there are years of enjoyment before it becomes a major problem. The Interior sets the car off with a bright blood red "leather like" finish. eye catching contrast! minor upgrades have been done including a beautiful color matched dash, arm rests, mirror, etc. and it has all billet specialties handles, cranks and pedals as well as a custom red leather wrapped billet steering wheel that matches the wheels. Even the headliner has been custom sewn in the matching red upholstry. Gauges have been tastefully updated to white faced Dolphin's in the stock locations. The car has a very custom and tastefully accomplished 9 speaker sound system boasting all Memphis Audio components, amplifiers and speakers. As a radio delete car, the dash has been modified with a hand sculpted fiberglass insert to the stock hole to accommodate a new head unit. (see pics) The rear package tray was removed and a custom tray was crafted to include raised pods for 8" coaxial speakers as well as a 12" subwoofer enclosure. (see pics) The trunk has been walled off to keep all sound in the car and includes a custom amplifier rack that has been upholstered to match the interior of the car. Music really rocks in this thing! To set the stance, the car sits on Coy C57 wheels, which are 20x8.5 in the front and a 22x9 tucked in the rear. Tires are in like new condition. The car has an air suspension system with all components tucked behind the side panels in the finished trunk. What is even cooler is that the controls and air gauge have been custom integrated into what used to be the factory ash tray. (see pics). The car has been upgraded to CPP big brakes including 13" drilled and slotted front rotors and 11.5" drilled and slotted rotors in the rear. All four calipers are powder coated red to match the interior and car accents. The drivetine is simple, but very reliable and runs perfect. It is a multiple "Long Hauler" on the Hot Rod Power Tour!!! It is a 350 c.i. with a turbo 350 trans. The drivetrain was a fresh build 5 years ago and has only 9,000 miles on it. It has absolutely no smoke on startup or while driving, does not run hot and is very consistently smooth. THe exhaust is true duals with pipe in great condition and fairly new 50 series deltaflow Flowmaster mufflers. It has a nice quiet and subtle throaty sound. The driveshaft recently had new u-joints and a center carrier bearing replaced. The chassis and undercarriage is very clean. No rust issues exist anywhere, pans are great, the frame is sound and the gas tank is great shape. Even with not coating the underneath, it is still very clean, which testifies the integrity and quality of the car. I have tried to provide some pictures for review. The suspension has an air management system with custom brackets to support large air bags in the front for better stability and ride. The hard components have been recently gone through including new ball joints, shocks, etc. and the car was recently aligned. Front shocks were installed and relocated outside of the a-arms with brackets welded to the frame with very little fabrication needed to the inner fenders. Other than that, the car sits low and has full turning radius without any modifications. The large 22s tuck in the back without any cutting. This car is a awesome road car and floats down the road straight and nice! Serious inquiries only please.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
