When in Detroit, I usually go by Brush Park to photograph some of the historic houses. I've seen (and shot) this Cadillac before; Someone in the neighborhood maintains this nearly 50 year old Coupe de Ville as a daily driver.
I believe this was the day he bought it (used of course). It has a 400, a Turbo400 3-speed automatic, and a 12-bolt Posi-traction rear axle with 4.33 gears. I believe this photo was taken in 1978.
I get nostalgic for my childhood every time I see an old GM wagon. Ours was a 1968 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser with a smallblock 400, and Turbo400 transmission. My Dad ordered tall gearing in it, and I think he got alot of tickets in it on road trips....This, of course, is a Chevy Bel-Air with a 327.
Home developed Tri-X in TMAX developer, 1:9 for 10.5 minutes @ 68F, inverted 1x/30 sec.
Each of these photos are with the optional leather interior, which also added luxurious cut-pile carpeting (in place of the standard nylon loop-blend rugs) and door courtesy lights among other items.
Top photo features driver's view of wrap-around cockpit instrument panel that place all controls with easy reach of the driver and optional Custom Sport steering wheel.
Middle photo includes optional stereo 8-track tape player mounted at aft end of center console due to the design of the GP's integrated dash/console not leaving any room in or under the dash for a tape player.
Bottom photo highlights console-mounted shifter for Turbo Hydra-matic transmission, a Rally Sports Shifter that could either be left in "D" for automatic shifting or be manually shifted through all three gears.
My 23 T roadster, built 28 years ago! Chevy 383 stroker, Crane 202 ported and polished heads,4-48IDA Webbers,Sanderson Zoomie headers, reverse valve body turbo400 ,3500 stall speed converter, 410 rear 31.5 X 18 rear tires (and it will melt them!)
Engine and transmission specifications. Both 400 and 455 V8s were offered for 1971 and designed for use of regular, low-lead or unleaded gasoline of 91 Research octane, thanks to reduced compression ratios. This is an early model year brochure indicating the availability of 3- and 4-speed manual transmissions, which were discontinued in March, 1971 when the Turbo Hydra-matic became standard equipment. New features for 1971 included body-colored outside mirrors and the maintenance-free Delco X battery - both included with the Model SJ option.

Standard features on 1973 Monte Carlo included soft-rim steering wheel, radial ply tires (S and Landau), new fingertip flush outside door handles (first introduced on 1970 1/2 Camaro and 1971 full-sized Chevys), inside hood release, double panel roof for increased rollover protection and improved soundproofing, power front disc brakes, 5-MPH front bumper (federally mandated for front in 1973 and both front and rear for 1974), and flow-through ventilation.
Optional Strato bucket seats, new for '73, feature higher seatbacks with built-in headrests and can be swiveled up to 90 degrees to aid entry and exit. Available in all-vinyl (shown) or knit cloth and vinyl. Console now has shifter similar to Pontiac's Rally Sports Shifter instead of the Buick-like horseshoe shifter used in '70-72 Monte Carlos.
The revised Monte Carlo brochure, issued in January 1973, featured a photo of the Strato bucket seats upholstered in red knit cloth and vinyl as opposed to the green all-vinyl used for (this) first edition of the brochure from September, 1972.
What do you get when you combine a mid ending and a front engine trophy truck and run AWD. Well you get this monster. Imagine twin LS3 motors and transmissions. One is driving the front wheels and one is on the rear. This is a one of a kind beast that produces over 1000 Wheel Horsepower I will let. The silt slayer won the legends division in the baja1000 in 2018

Nice ride. This is my friends 1980 Chevy El Camino. It is a functioning 4x4. I believe it has about 6-8 inches of suspension lift and I know it's running 35 inch mud terrains. 355 Chevy small block, Turbo400 auto trans, geared somewhere in the 6 range. Everything but the air works. It will not go over 45 m/ph! Well built on an already solid platform and great vision for this build. Was told it was featured in the media at one time. More different and unique vehicles will be posted in the future. Enjoy them like I do
My 1967 Camaro SS 396. Purchased in 1986 for $800.00 and have been working on it since then. I am the third owner. It sat in a carport that I passed by daily. One day, I found the owner and the deal was struck.
Stripped the car down to every last nut and bolt. I did all the work, except the paint.
Stats:
396 (now displacing about 402CI)
Muncie M-21 - replaced linkage with a Hurst unit.
12 Bolt 3.42 Rear End
Restored interior to original specs.
Has factory gauges (Tach and console)
Disc brakes front, drums rear.
Reproduction chambered exhaust system (sounds excellent!)
Overall, the car is a continuing project. Next is to update the brakes.
(Car in the background is a 1971 Holden Monaro GTS, one of about five in the USA. Has a Chevy 350 with a Turbo400 Auto. Right hand drive.)
Description of the new Chevrolet Efficiency System for 1975 which included a catalytic converter and high energy ignition and various advantages including improved fuel economy and performance, along with extended service intervals. Also described are drivetrain selections including 350, 400 and 454 V8s.
This powerhouse sits nicely in a 1950 Nash Super Statesman. The car that this powerplant is in can be seen on the next newer photo in this photostream.
