If your looking for a car to restore here is the one. This is not just a date code correct but an actual 1968 SS 396 with the original engine, transmission, and rear end that came in the car! The partial VIN # is stamped on the block and it still has the original Muncie 4 speed and twelve bolt rear end. Even better still, this car came from the factory with interior from a Buick Skylark. There was around a two month period in 1968 when the factory ran low on interiors for these cars (supposedly because of riots because of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination) so they used other GM interiors. It can be decoded as original by the data plate. That makes this car a little extra special. The engine has been rebuilt and I have included a picture with the valve cover off to show how clean it is. The car is very solid. It will need some floor work, small patches on the bottom rear of both quarters and work on the drivers fender. No rocker rust, trunk just has surface rust and retains a lot of its original splatter paint. No cowl rust. No wheel lip rust. No frame rust through. The top even works when the switch is bypassed. (bad top switch) This would be a big money car fixed and is about as good a car to start with as you will find any more. There is no exhaust on the car but I have fired it up with open headers and it ran great. It has been switched to HEI. I do have the original split bench front seat and rear seat. It will all need to be taken to the springs and redone. Tires will hold enough air to get it on a trailer. The original color combo was Butternut yellow with a black top and black interior. It has had one repaint since the factory and then a thin coat of the cheap primer (not by me :) you see in the pictures. I sanded one of the fenders to show that its not as bad as it looks. Haha.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
