 Here is my 1964 Impala SS that I have been working on here and there for the last 3 years or so. I initially picked the car up from a retired fire fighter in Chicago area who was ill and could no longer enjoy the car. After getting it home I drove her once and began removing all the fenders, doors and trunk lid and suspension. Every nut and bolt has been replaced with new, along with all of the body bushings. The belly of the car (inside & out) and frame have been coated with POR-15, and then recoated with a gloss coating. The body is painted medium aqua metallic and the top is a Cadillac pearl white tri coat. I would rate the paint a 7-8 out of 10, there are a few little imperfections that you may or may not notice in the pics and video attached. http://youtu.be/hmuZQW_MRxo There are more videos under my videos section and pictures under my photobucket link here http://s1294.photobucket.com/user/debozmail/slideshow/ 

  • Trim: All of the side trim is original and in great condition with a nice luster. The front grill has been hand polished, and the eyebrows, hood lip and lower molding has been replaced with new. The rear trim is original, besides the cove trims I replaced due to them being dinged. Headlight rings have been polished, rear tail light chrome replaced. Bumpers are original and in nice shape.
  • Suspension: All of the suspension is either chrome or painted. the front upper and lower control arms are triple plated, along with the front coil springs, tie rods, spindles steering knuckles, rear trailing arms, center link & idler and pitman arms. All of the bushings are new energy suspension bushings.. Steering has been upgraded to a solid jeep shaft to eliminate the use of the old non responsive rag joints, and is hooked to a CPP 500 steering box with a sport ratio.
  • Interior: I replaced the front seat covers and foam a few months ago. The rear seat is original, but in good condition. The entire tub of the car has been coated in por-15 and then sealed with Fatmat sound deadening material all the way up to the door glass. All of the interior trim has been polished and looks great. All (5) of the interior lights work as they should. Custom kick panels and door panels that house (6) Pioneer 3 way speakers. The rear package tray has been recovered and houses (4) Pioneer 6x9 3 ways that match the door and kick panel components. Rear water fall trim has had the grain smoothed out and chromed, along with the center speaker trim in the seat. The interior is very nice, please see the pictures and video. The speedo cluster has been swapped to a Dakota Digital, and the column is a chrome tilt that was moved forward 2 inches for extra room. The stock ones always felt too close to me. Trunk is custom and houses (2) 12" Rockford subwoofers and a Rockford amp setup under plexiglass with L.E.D's. American Auto wire update kit is installed, every wire in the car is brand new and replaced.
  • Drivetrain: I replaced the sbc motor with a ls motor equipped with Vette heads, cam and intake. Chrome headers with o2 bungs, all new coils, plug wires, black an6 fuel line etc. Transmission is a 4l65e with shiftworks shifter linkage hooked to the original shifter. Front belt system is from Dirty Dingo, and water pump, gaskets, Melling oil pump are all new. Drive shaft has the CPP  HD aluminum carrier bearing, with slip yoke at the rear end. Rear end is a Versailles with all new gaskets. Car is equipped with 4 wheel disc brakes attached to a hydroboost system out of an 05 Silverado 2500. CPP show chrome master with built in proportioning valve, all new brake lines etc. Engine harness and computer is from PSIconversions out of NJ. Pedal and tac module are hidden behind the dash. Engine bay wires have been tucked for the clean low visibility look. New gas tank, Walbro fuel pump and 60 psi Vette filter/regulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUaTIzjs5WE  Have the mufflers, still needs exhaust ran before I forget to add that. Plan on getting it done as soon as time permits with my schedule.
  • Wheels: *NEW*13x7 72 spoke cross laced rims with Dayton spinners and new 155/80/13 tires.

 I'm sure like most I'm forgetting some things, but at this point it's easy to tell that this was an extensive build. Feel free to message me with questions if you have them and they're not covered here. $1000 deposit due at the end of the auction and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Car is sold "as is" with no warranties implied. Serious inquiries can text 937-418-0776. Thanks for your time and viewing my car.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
