1976 Chevy Caprice lowrider history:

With its beautiful yacht like lines & elegance it was no wonder why this car was chosen to be a full show car early in its life in 1982. Just 6 years old of age this car went under a transformation that would impact many hearts, as they set eyes on this art master piece.

With just under 6 years of being driven off the show lot a team was hired that consisted of the best of the best in the industry to create what is know as " True Devotion" 1976 Chevy Caprice. The first step was to create a canvas for the gran masterpiece. The canvas was prepped by eliminating the handles, side moldings adding dual french antennas, hollywood top, suiciding the trunk and adding a blue foundation with rainbow metal flake. Now that the canvas was ready, the artist began his work adding scallops, ribbons, graphics and little secrets of the trade using various mixes of kandy purple, blue, yellow, magenta & few custom created colors. No true Lowrider would be complete with out murals, so three murals beautifully add life to it all. More than eight hours were invested on the highly detailed roses that decorate the side panels. The reverse opening trunk also serves as a canvas for the highly detailed mural of the Virgen Mary looking over the famous Chicago lake front.

Now that the exterior was taken car of, the interior was next on the list. Wanting to accent the interior but not sacrifice comfort & luxury the Caprice is so famous for, it was decided the stock interior would be used but given a lowrider treatment. Many yards of carefully chosen heavy duty elegant dark blue velvet material was used to create an interior fit for royalty. The famous chain steering wheel add accent to the blue buscuit tuck interior & the gold plates under the dash hold eight gold switches. Two of the switches control the power windows & the other six give you access to dance in front to back side to side motions.

Once the car was completed it was ready to take the show by storm and it sure did with many best of shows, best paint and dominating the show world for many years but after 10 years of competition the time had arrived to raise the bar. In 1993-94 season the car would go under a transformation that at the time was unheard of, a fully detailed undercarriage with painted floor, frame & triple chrome plate everything!

Plans went on the way to not only do a full complete undercarriage but also a highly detail engine compartment. The car was put on stands & fully disassembled of its engine & complete undercarriage. Parts were prepped & every chrome trim removed to be shipped out for triple show quality chrome plating. One thing let to another and soon the project was put on the back burner, interest was lost and properly stored for years.

In 2000 this gem was discovered in amazing shape. So now it was time to finish what the previous owner dreamed of but it would be another eight years before this car would finally reclaim its glory.The engine (400 small block) was fully rebuilt painted (blue with metal flake) & fully dressed in chrome. The transmission was also rebuilt, dressed in chrome accents & painted to match the engine. the front & rear suspension was fully rebuilt & triple chrome plated. New radiator, booster, calipers were painted to match. New custom dual exhaust with glass packs attached to ceramic coated shorty headers for that true lowrider sound (low toned for cruising & aggressive at the flooring of the accelerator. Car has now been featured in magazine, music videos and many articles. Due to the age of car there is some chips in paint but still does very well in car shows. My intentions for car was to be a dependable cruiser not a trailer queen, plus I think that as in the scars of life the chips give the car character. If it is a true 1970's lowrider you are looking for you have found it.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
