FROM THE EDITOR A

L E T T E R

B Y D U S T I N T R OYA N

he water pump went out the other day on my wife’s 2002 Excursion 7.3L diesel. I walked in after a long day and she kind of had this look on her face.

She said, “I am so sorry...the truck is leaking coolant, I think it is the water pump.” One more thing to do I thought. So, I walked out to look under the truck and sure as can be, there was coolant dripping all over the ground. I walked back in, took my suit off and went back to the Excursion to take inventory of what I was going to need to do. I do have to admit, it was pretty cool my wife diagnosed the issue.

I have done the water pump on a 7.3L diesel ford before. It is not the hardest job per se, but, it can be a challenge. First and foremost, for those of you who have never worked on a truck, laying across the engine is not fun. Takes that much more energy and the bruises you end up with on your stomach, chest and arms make you look like you got into a fight with a paintball gun. The other challenge is taking off the fan. To get to the water pump, you have to remove the fan and the fan clutch assembly and the radiator shroud at the same time. The nut on the fan clutch assembly can be a real pain. Because the truck is older and the 7.3 Ford enthusiasts have figured it all out, there are pages and pages of instructions for the home mechanic. There are also countless YouTube videos with many different creative ways to accomplish the task. The first suggestion is to always use the right tools.

The right tools. Over the years I have acquired a lot of tools. The more the better.

Some nice tools, some cheap tools, but a fair amount. The fan-clutch removal tool, I do not own. But, you can rent tools at Pep Boys and other auto parts stores. So, before I tackled the task, I went and rented the tool. I also went crazy trying to figure out whether I should go OEM or aftermarket with the parts. With the power of Google, you can really go crazy trying to figure out what to do, who is the OEM parts manufacturer, and the longevity of the parts. At the end of the day, I called Louie over at All Car Parts and went with what he recommended. Those guys at All Car Parts know just about everything and walking into their parts store; it is always great to see friends.

The pump went out on a Thursday, I had gathered what I needed by Friday and as long as I could get that fan off, it would be pretty easy sailing. But, if you know me and cars, nothing is easy. Ever. As I started the repair Friday afternoon, one of the neighbors came by who also works on his own cars. We got to talking and chatted while I started the disassembly portion of the “easy stuff.” Then another neighbor a fellow car guy as well came down and we were all chatting about life, business and of course the enjoyment of diesel repairs.

With the easy stuff done it was time to get that fan clutch off. This is where it would be decided if I was a man or if we were men. I used the special tool and crossed my fingers (which were already bleeding) that it would be easy getting it off. No dice.

There were three of us, three brains, 6 hands, thirty fingers and no matter how hard we pulled, hammered, pushed, yelled, leveraged, screamed, we could not get the damn part off. The good news is that nothing broke with the exception of a fancy flat head screw driver (lifetime-warranty).

An older diesel truck is like a classic car. The diesel truck guys are a breed unto themselves. For the guys that turn their own wrenches, their trucks and how they maintain them, are a badge of honor. Some of the guys have incredible YouTube channels on how to do maintenance, add horsepower or tackle the hard stuff. And of course there are the “hacks” that they have come up to totally circumvent the normal approaches of repair and that “get it done” attitude... gets it done.

As the sun went down we pulled out the lights. We tried and tried and tried. One

of the guys said something about a dealer and the other two of us laugh and commented on how stubborn we are and we would get it done one way or the other. After all, it was not rocket science, just metal stuck together with thousands of heat cycles and kinetic energy tightening it millions of times over the course of thousands of miles. Where there is a will there is a way.

The only thing missing from that evening of working was a six pack of beer and rags hanging out of our denim pants. It was one of those moments captured in time, friends leaning over the hood of a car, well, a truck. Bonding at it finest. That night, we didn’t get it done.

Frustrated but not one to give up, we called it a night. We cleaned up and we all went home to our families for dinner. Tomorrow would be a new day. But, that night I sat and watched a handful of videos on how to remove that fan. Air-chisel...that’s the ticket.

In the morning, I was more determined than ever. I had done this repair on another truck, so I know I can do it, it was just getting that one piece off. I am certain many a hand or knuckle has been broken trying to get this part off. I tried once more with the “right tools” using extensions, pipes, anything for leverage. Nothing worked. So, off I went to buy an air-chisel. The theory is that you put the chisel on the end of the nut and start tapping it and it would break the pieces loose and simply spin off. Does it damage the nut a bit, yes, but online, this is what everyone does apparently.

I had never used an air-chisel before, but hey a new tool. If it worked like the videos it should take two seconds and I would be done. Put the chisel on the nut, hit it and presto-whamo, I am a rockstar. I am not a rockstar.

I think that someone put some Locktite on that nut. I put that chisel to the nut and it started carving that thing up pretty quickly. The guys on the web said it would “scar” the nut a bit, but it should spin right off. I tried it a bit more and started to get concerned about doing more damage than it is worth. I stopped for a minute and walked away. Frustrated but “all in” at this point, I watched one more Youtube video of the 7.3 Guru using his chisel to get the nut off. At this point, damage was done, I was going to go for it. What the hell.

I put that chisel back on the nut, applied some extra pressure and hit it and, and... wait for it...it spun off just like the videos. Hot dog, I am in business. We are off the races folks. From that point on, I took everything off that needed to come off and I was going to call it a day to spend time with the family. I would finish the job on Sunday after Supercar Sunday.

That following day, I returned home from the car show. My eldest daughter Scarlett was keen to assist me, so she learned quite a bit about water pumps, gaskets, gasket sealer, temperature senders and different types of tools. That part was really fun.

She is my little helper. I cleaned all the surfaces, got it all back together, started filling up the radiator and fluid everywhere. My heart sank. I forgot to attach one hose. Easy fix.

With it all back together, fluids in, I started the Excursion up, no drips, seals are all good and guess what, I am a man after all. And a few days later, it still didn’t leak. Ah, the feeling of masculinity. The moral of the story? Be stubborn.

Postscript: It has been ten days and no leaks. Hallelujah!

Brian Holifield Feature

Alot of people ask me, “Why are you so into cars”, or tell me how “obsessed” I am with cars, and that’s fine, because I am. Cars have always been a part of my life. What people don’t realize is that there are people who drive, collect, build, and modify these cars, and that those people have their own stories and relationships with cars.

Meeting these people adds to the obsession I have with cars.

Because of cars, strangers have become friends, and I have had the privilege of meeting some of the most interesting, and awesome people.

Brian Holifield is one of these people. Some of you may know him

8

as “BlkPrez” on social media, or “The guy with the GT-R”, or “The Guy that has the car that shoots fire”, but no matter how you know him, if you’ve taken the time to talk with him, you’ll find out that he is one of the most genuine people, who is always in a positive, and inspirational mood.

Brian is a California native, who grew up in Pasadena, California and comes from a strong family, with two successful parents. A father who is a physical therapist, and a mother who was in real-estate, and I say was, because from his goals and ambitions, Brian has been able to retire his mother.

Today, Brian has been very successful with his fitness and nutrition company, but this didn’t happen overnight. After attending the military, he came home in 2002, ready to start a new chapter of life. Unfortunately, things never seem to work out as we plan, but as he told me, “This was a time in my life, where I had to envision my next path”. “When I came

home, I was living with my mother, and really had to figure things out.

At the time I was driving a Nissan 240sx, that I didn’t even have money to put gas in to go anywhere”. At some point we all run into these moments in life, but it is how we overcome them that makes us stronger.

Brian is a firm believer in manifestation, creating a vision, and working towards it has provided consistent results. When he set the goal of one day owning a Nissan GT-R, which he had a posted on his wall, he knew it would be a goal to work towards, and after applying vision, hard work, and consistency he was able to pick up his dream car, further his business, and travel the world inspiring and helping people find the path of their own success.

Now, for the fire breathing, all wheel drive monster that Mr. Holifield pilots, it’s a 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R imported by MotoRex. If you aren’t familiar with MotoRex, they were the company who set about legalizing the Nissan

Skyline’s for importation in the states. The fact that this BCNR33 Nissan Skyline is fully legal, is a feat within itself. Even thought the infamous Skyline GT-R is known for it’s performance, Brian wanted to bring the car to its full potential. A fully built RB26DETT, with a single slugger of a turbo charger, has the car currently putting out 816 wheel horsepower. That’s enough power to bring all the boys to the yard, with milkshakes in hand!! If you’re curious how it shoots those legendary flames, it’s because the car runs with a AEM Series 2 ECU which is set up with a flex fuel system, allowing Brian to choose between California’s 91 octane, or feed it some E85 (which makes the best flames).

Don’t let the mohawk, tattoos, and muscles discourage you from engaging him in conversation, about working out, nutrition, his 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R, which is an original MotoRex car, he’ll gladly chat it up with you.

The Wisdom of Buying During The Holidays

any of our buyers ​ask if they should continue to look at homes​ during December​. We all know the market noticeably slows down to allow time for holiday parties and hosting. However, for serious buyers, the answer is a definite ​YES.​ There are a number of sound reasons to make a purchase during this season of festivity. One of the biggest advantages is less competition from other buyers​. This results in reduced pressure to increase offers​-​a situation that buyers often experience in a hot market. ​Sellers are o​ ften more flexible in negotiations this time of year, ​because they want a closed sale before the New Year rolls around.​Thus, they limit their own celebrations to accommodate for open houses and showings. This is an indication that motivation is high and selling is a priority. ​ ​As the year comes to a close, buyers often have better luck in hiring the professionals they need to inspect the home and secure their loan. Due to the fact that business is slower in general, many of these professionals are more

readily accessible.

Of course the biggest advantage is tax perks. In many instances sellers are facing h ​ igher capital gains tax if they sell their home in the coming year. This increases the motivation of the seller who often is willing to pass a discount along to any buyer who can close by the end of the month.

Sellers know their ​properties​do not often look their best in the winter, as spring brings such ​attractive​foliage and color. But the wise seller decorates for the holidays, and that feeling of hearth and bounty makes buyers feel as though they are truly “home.”​S​o take advantage of the season if you​are​looking for a new home, and​have a glorious holiday season!

WEEKEND AT WOODLEY fter years of alternating weekends, the two biggest car shows of the year at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, CA, synced things up to occur on the same weekend in November. The 10th Annual SoCal Vintage BMW Meet happened on Saturday the 4th, and then the French and Italian Car and Machinery Show & Picnic took place on Sunday the 5th. Someone made a good choice because the weather was fantastic the whole weekend with pleasant temperatures and a blue sunny sky.

The BMW show featured both restored and original vehicles from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s (pre-1989 only!) with rows of similar classic models lined up side-by-side. Multiple categories brought up the most representative examples, resulting in a winner’s semi-circle of 12 vehicles.

Motorcycles were not as well represented, but there were a few prime examples including those with the famous “Brick” engine.

There were quite a few vendors of artwork and parts that seemed to have an unending supply of interested enthusiasts. Food and drinks were available on-site.

The French and Italian Car Show is always popular and brings out celebrities such as Jay Leno in his 1917 Fiat Botafogo Special. There were also vendors galore plus food trucks and the obligatory motor scooters and Italian motorcycles.

All the major French and Italian brands were represented with a few very rare models interspersed including an Iso Grifo. I’m not clear if it made the grade due to Italian styling influences, but even a Tatra from the Czech Republic was on-hand.

Citroen, Peugeot and Simca were among the French stylings, with the more prevalent Ferrari, Maserati, Fiat and Pantera representing the Italian point of view. The newest vehicles on the grounds were the Alfa Romeo 4C 2-seater and 4-door Giulia models, one of which was right next to the Alfa Romeo Owners Club booth.

Hopefully, the organizers will arrange for a full BMW/French/Italian weekend again in 2018. Along with all the other car shows in SoCal, this pair really raised the bar!

If you were a child in the 50’s or 60’s, the chances are you owned some type of battery operated tin toy.

There were character toys, holiday toys, and vehicle toys! Most of these toys were produced in Japan. After World War II ended, the treaty with the Japanese limited the type of items that the country could produce. With a strong sense of ingenuity and work ethic, they became the premier manufacturer of inexpensive toys after the war. Soon the toys they produced had multi functions. They would move, make sounds, and have flashing lights. The majority of components used were tin. Since resources in Japan were very limited after the war, much of the tin used was from old food cans. Many of these toys if taken apart reveal names like “Hunt’s” or “Dole”.

These toys were fragile to say the least. They had multi colored lithographics, plastic parts, and rubber tires. It did not take long for plastic parts to break off and batteries to wear down.

A toy left in the rain was “rust” the next day. Not a lot of these toys survived. Japan has a tin toy museum, which preserves and restores these classic toys. Many books can be found on these and there is a high cash value on many.

Have you been good this year? Maybe Santa will leave one of these under your tree!

Coachman Club FOOD AND TOY DRIVE Documented proof of the existence of Santa Claus Last Saturday, November 18th.

Santa came out to the Coachmen Car Club's Annual Toy Drive at Rock N Roll Cafe in Simi Valley, California! Not only did we catch a glimpse of the jolly lad, but the magic of giving was all around us. Santa Claus (aka kind human hearts) brought in a mountain of toys! It's true! You can't make this stuff up! The magic is everywhere. You just have to believe....

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?

Over the past few decades I’ve bought and sold countless classic cars and hot rods. From restorations to custom fabrications I’ve been fortunate to have experience in all types of vehicles. Along the way I’ve also met some incredible car builders, fabricators and visionaries with some of them becoming very good friends. Some of my most memorable car builds have been with a very familiar face at Super Car Sunday, Barry “The Hat” Buchanan. You all know him – he’s the tall guy with the signature hat and is always one of the first to arrive and last to leave the weekly car show. He drives in some of the most unusual and interesting cars you’ve ever seen. One of our most popular cars that we put together was the 1956 Ford Fairlane Gasser Drag car. This was an incredible build, but what was even more interesting was how we got it.

Everyone that buys, flips or collects cars knows that its not so much the actual purchase of the vehicle that’s exciting, it’s the journey to get it. The Fairlane was exactly that, the journey..

We found her resting in Clovis California. A small rural town nestled past Bakersfield. What caught our eyes was the cool patina that Mother Nature had created on her body. You could still see the lettering that once graced the quarter panels and top. The trunk lid had incredible louvers that someone had painstakingly put on it. The car was setup for drag racing and had a huge Wedge motor with a giant tunnel ram. Needless to say, we were hooked. Now it’s a known fact that when you’re looking for a vehicle you have to act quickly when you find one you like. Our only problem with this one was that it was about 3 hours away. We called the owner and worked out a time that we could go and see it.

Now some words of advice for everyone - When you’re interested in a vehicle for sale, always “CALL” and talk to the owner rather than a text or email.

If you insist on a text and are using the microphone on your phone to dictate, always, and I mean always, double check the text before you send it. Although this is an extremely funny story, it was a little embarrassing when we arrived at the guy’s house! Barry and I were interested in buying a complete motor from a guy in Saugus one time. We called him first to get his address and were heading out to his house. He said he would call us back and let us know when he was home which should be in 20 minutes. This would work out perfectly because we would miss all the traffic. After 25 minutes we hadn’t heard from him, so Barry decided to text him using his phones microphone. He told him, “we’re on our way Danny”, and sent it. Once again we waited and didn’t hear back from him. I was getting a little concerned since another 20 minutes had gone by. I told Barry how I didn’t trust using the text microphone, and he should check to see what it wrote. Well, sure enough he looked at the text he sent and it was “I hate Danny!” Why? How? We shall never know. He quickly called Danny and explained what had happened. We laughed the entire way there and back! Always check!< So back to the story…..

Since this was going to be an all day trip, we had to really plan it out. We needed to rent a truck and trailer because of the size of the car. With a few calls we set up the rental for the next day. With our luck, there was a huge storm expected to hit the area in the evening. We figured we could leave early, pick the car up, eat a late lunch and have the storm chase us all the way back home. Well, we figured wrong.

The drive out there was long and uneventful, but far out on the horizon you could see the threatening trouble brewing. The silos silhouette against the dark skies cast an uneasy feeling in our stomachs. The tight time frame left no room for any delays that we might encounter. Now you often hear that you don’t really know someone until you see them in a stressful situation. Let me tell you that this is very true. I’ve worked with Barry for countless hours on hot rods and have seen him under pressure. As well, he’s seen me at my best and worst. This adventure all cards were laid on the table for all to see.

As we pulled into Clovis, our first task was to find the house where the car was resting. Mapquest was great help until we discovered that the house actually sat back from the main street down a private drive. The map didn’t show this so we ended up driving by the house multiple times. As our stress started to grow, the subtle arguments also began. Trying to make u-turns with the long trailer on a two-lane road was challenging, but we finally found an

16

empty church parking lot for us to turn around in. After some convincing we headed back from the direction we came from and found a mini mall parking lot to park and call the car owner for some help. He told us to continue driving back down the street and he would come out of his house and wait in front of his driveway. With luck, we were right down the street from him. As we backed down the long driveway we could see a giant building that housed multiple vehicles. From extreme off road vehicles to classic Mopars, this guy had a great collection. Sitting front and center was the Fairlane. It looked decent but contained a lot more rust then the pictures had shown. Since I’m known as “The Negotiator”, I worked my magic and we agreed upon a fair price and also some extra motor parts that we had the owner throw in. We loaded her up and were out of there as quickly as possible.

It’s a known fact that when Barry gets hungry he can become a real “bear”. As we made our first left out on the highway he announced that we needed to stop to get something to eat. I agreed but suggested to stop at a café I saw early on the way out about 10 miles away. As we headed towards the café we could both see the darkening sky reaching towards us. The afternoon light was slowly turning orange as it transitioned into dusk. When we exited the freeway we saw our first sprinkle of rain. Once again, we figured we could eat quickly and get out of there before the storm hit. Luckily for us we were right.

After we ate, we hit the highway and headed home. The first 40 minutes were perfect until we saw the first drops of rain on the windshield. We assured each other that it would stop, but we were wrong. As the rain grew harder we would periodically look back at the trailer and try to convince each other that the water would be good for all the rust holes on the car. After an hour

of driving, the rain started to get really heavy. If you’re familiar with this area, then you know that the grapevine is notorious for bad weather. As we started our ascent up the mountain pass, the whole sky seemed to open up and pour down upon us. You could still see the white lines that divided the lanes but as we continued up the pass they seemed to all disappear. The only course of direction was the just barely visible car taillights in front of us.

I would say for myself that when under stress I’m pretty calm and straightforward. I assess the situation and act accordingly. Barry is very similar. I have to admit though, in this situation I felt vulnerable. I wasn’t driving so I felt as if I had no control of anything. It was the same helpless feeling you get when you’re just about to go down the first drop of a very steep roller coaster. If you could imagine driving through a carwash for two hours in pitch black doing 60 miles per hour, then you could understand the serious situation. To make matters worse, semi trucks were passing us like we were pedaling a bike. The spray coming off of them turned the windshield into a blurry pair of glasses.

About every five minutes I would make a comment about how hard the rain was coming down or how difficult it was to see the road. I asked Barry if he could see the lane but he wouldn’t answer. If you’ve talked to Barry before, then you would know that he is a man of “Many” words. Ask him a simple question and he’ll give you a half hour answer. For him to be so silent was a big concern to me. I later found out that he could just barely see the road and was just as scared as I was! I guarantee that eight out of ten people would of either waited until the next day to drive the pass or exit on the first street available.

So what made us continue on? Honestly, I really couldn’t say. All I could think of as I sat in that passenger seat while looking for something to hold

onto, was the fear of knowing that at any moment we could hydroplane off the side of the ridge or be rear ended by the blazing semis coming up from behind us. For the last half hour of that two-hour death trip over the pass, we were silent. As Barry gripped the steering wheel, you could see his knuckles protruded out from his hands. He later told me his hands were stiff for a few days after because of how hard he was holding on!

I saw the first small specs of light as we were heading down the grade into Castaic. It gave me the feeling of relief similar to what a sailor would feel when seeing the light from the lighthouse that would guide them into port. I announced triumphantly “We had made it”! Barry responded with “We’re not home yet”. The rain had leveled out and was just a light drizzle. The remainder of the ride home was smooth and seemed easy compared to where we just came from. Once arriving to Barry’s house we unloaded the car and drove it up the driveway without too much difficulty.

For months after, we talked and shared our journey with friends and anyone who would listen. I’ve done some pretty crazy and extreme things throughout my life such as surfing 12 to 15 ft. hurricane waves, drag racing my Model A Rat Rod, dirt skiing down mountainsides and hanging bare handed from 100 ft. towers and bridges. I have to tell you that driving over that pass is absolutely in my top 5!

So as I sit in my safe comfortable office chair and think back to that story I have to ask you, “How far would you go”?

SEMA 2017

How do I describe the SEMA Show to someone who has never gone?

It’s like having hundreds of Supercar Sundays, Petersen Museums, L.A. Auto Shows and Formula Drift competitions, all happening at the same time in and around acres of open exhibit area and 5 football-field-sized buildings. A total of 2 million square feet of exhibit space plus 250,000 square feet of meeting space catering to 100,000 automotive industry-ites.

I know, it’s exhausting just reading about it!

The basic feeling is, it’s so cool to be there, but at the same time you’re thinking, “how can I ever cover the whole show and see everything that there is to see?”

The challenge is to try and stick to a plan… first make a list of the specific booths and areas you want to visit in each of the buildings along with a schedule of special unveils and car celebrity appearances. The other thing I highly recommend is to try and attend as many of the SEMA educational seminars as possible… you can always find something pertaining to your own interests or expertise, or that you would like to learn more about. It doesn’t matter to all attendees, but most also like to attend the many awards breakfasts, special events and Gala Banquets coordinated by the SEMA staff.

As if that weren’t enough, there are multiple events outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center including the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Invitational and Shelby America’s annual SEMA Party at their headquarters and Heritage Center.

The Mequiar’s Stage was a fixture for many years, but that has given way to the Velocity Stage where automotive celebrities are featured and announcements made during each day of the show. A smaller stage presented by Shell and Penzoil was the site of several discussion panels and the lively interaction of Jeffrey Allen and Ethan D. from the Skidmarks Show podcast. Interspersed throughout the show buildings and grounds were appearances, signings and debuts from car show celebrities such as Chip Foose, Dave Kindig, Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead from Wheeler Dealers, Barry Mequiar and Vaughn Gittin Jr. Drifting exhibitions continue throughout the days in what would normally be the parking lot. Several acres are surrounded by concrete barriers and a jump-ramp is set up in the middle. Modified Mustangs, Focus RS, Ford trucks and off-road vehicles are raced around the mockedup track at high speeds as well as a special fleet of Cobras from Hillbank/ Superformance.

One event that’s become a focal point of the show is the Battle of the Builders competition. This is narrowed down from an original 200 entrants down to 24, then 12 and then 3, with the final winner announced at SEMA Ignited. Along with vignettes from the builders as they work, the latter 2 segments are filmed for a special to be aired on Velocity in January, 2018 and hosted by Chris Jacobs of Overhaulin’ fame.

SEMA Ignited itself has become a new tradition just over the last 3 years. Since SEMA isn’t open to the general public, Las Vegas locals used to line up at the end of the show just to watch all the amazing vehicles exit. SEMA realized something was going on, so they added bleachers to the route and several years later began SEMA Ignited as a place for the public to see all the cars and vendors they couldn’t during the SEMA Show. High point for the fans include a another drifting track where they can see all their favorite drivers plus the filming of Battle of the Builders.

SEMAshow is not something you do in just one day. Even after staying for 5 days, I sometimes don’t see certain cars or events until I return home and look at all the Facebook and Instagram postings. Bummer, but at least someone was documenting them!

If the enthusiest on your list has an air compressor, then they probably have a hose tangled up some where. Because its tangled, they're less likely to use it, or use it but with an exponentially higher chance of using 4-letterwords while setting it up. If this is the case, then look no further as this is the garage gadget that ANY enthusiest would love to hang in their garage.

At home in any garage or shop, the Goodyear Air Hose Reel (model 46731) makes easy work of managing air hose. The air hose is always ready when you need it and stored safely and neatly out of the way when you don't, helping you avoid damage to the hose as well as tripping accidents.

Superformance Hillbank Corvette Grand Sport

Some of you may be familiar with Superformance by now. Long known as the shop where you can walk out with a brand-new Shelby Cobra, GT40 or Daytona Coupe, Superformance’s latest edition is sporting a GM badge!

The 1963 Corvette Grand Sport is a car that wasn't supposed to be. Back in the early 1960’s the Cobra came on the US racing scene and started handing the Corvettes one loss after another. That sparked Zora Duntov to create the biggest and baddest Corvette ever to destroy the upstart Cobras from Carroll Shelby. Duntov went to work creating a super lightweight fiberglass body (some say it was so thin you could see through it). The lightweight theme continues all the way to the ground with the 15” magnesium wheels, which are offered on the new version of the car from Superformance.

The 1963 Grand Sport was short-lived however, when GM’s chairman found out about the project and put an end to it. Amazing, Zora was able to

sneak all five of the original cars out and they still exist intact today. There is an urban legend of a sixth original car and I have even had people tell me they have original photos of all six cars together, but I have yet to see definitive proof…

A couple of the cars had the roofs removed and were converted to roadsters.

In the hands of some privateers the cars got bigger tires and bulging fenders along with huge v8 engines pumping out 485 horsepower. Three of the cars completed at Speed Week in Nassau, Bahamas and flat out embarrassed the Cobras. And that was the end of the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport – until now.

Like all Superformance cars, the GM Grand Sport Corvette is licensed by the original manufacturer. Superformance Owner and CEO, Lance Stander, worked tirelessly for six years to secure a licensing deal with GM, Superformance and Duntov Motors together on the License are the only companies GM has ever trusted to build a car with a GM badge on it.

The muscular body looks absolutely stunning in the most brutish of ways and is splashed off the original mold from 1963. The large-diameter round tube chassis sports the transverse leaf spring rear suspension Corvettes made famous. Continuing with the theme of authenticity, the rear differential is a C2/C3 locker from Duntov himself. Another nostalgic touch are the leather straps and buckles used to secure the hood.

Superformance has added features and options to update the car without losing that 1963 race car feel. There is a touring interior available that is purposeful, beautiful and comfortable. Power steering is standard and you can also opt for Power Windows and Air Conditioning to make this race car into a Grand Tourer. You can also choose between 15” period correct wheels in aluminum or magnesium, or a bigger wheel and tire package featuring 17” wheels front and 18” wheels rear.

One of the more unique features of the car is located on the rear decklid – an oil cooler for the rear differential. This was needed back in the day to keep that locker rear end cooled down on the longer road courses. You can order the car with or without, and have it either functional or non-functional depending on how you plan to use the car.

Engine choices abound and you can select almost anything from the GM Performance catalog. Most popular choices to date have been LS3 based engines, but you can go with any GM large or small block power plant. The guys at Hillbank Motor Sports in Irvine are currently building one with a modern LT4 that will be pumping out 650HP! Want something less modern and more authentic to the car? There are even suppliers who can replicate the original 377 CID engine with the cross-ram Weber carburetors used in the

original cars!

As with all Superformance cars, you can pick from period correct liveries or create the car of your dreams in any standard or custom color your heart desires. Consistent with all Superformance cars, the paint is show quality and features the superb fit and finish for which Superformance cars are known.

It is definitely worth a visit to Irvine to see the Corvette Grand Sport and this mecca of 1960s sports cars reinvented to be enjoyed today. Hillbank is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year and Superformance its 25th, so stop by to say hello and be absolutely amazed at all the cars. You can take a virtual tour of their Irvine, California showroom by going to the following link: https://youtu.be/5Ap9SuYCVgo or check out the current inventory at our Hillbank locations here: http://hillbankusa.com/cars-browser Doug Campbell 949-900-1966 dougc@hillbankusa.com 25

LAVAGGIO THE ART OF AUTO DETAILING

When I first heard of Lavaggio, I didn’t believe what I was told. “The most amazing detailing facility ever built!” that was the quote. Years ago, I had an auto detailing business and all of us know, auto detailing is a bay or a trailer.

So, when I heard about Lavaggio, I just wrote it off. Over the next couple of months, I kept hearing about Lavaggio and it always followed with “you must go see it, you will not believe it.” So, curiosity got the best of me and I headed over. Exiting the 101 fwy at Reyes Adobe, I was told I could not miss it, “turn right off the freeway and make the first right onto Canwood St. and you will see it on your left.”

So off the freeway I went, turned right and right onto Canwood Street.

But, something must be wrong. All I see is a spa or a medical building, everything else is residential. There is no detail center around here? So, I drove back and forth a few times and I kept seeing the Lavaggio waterfall and signage by the street, but where was the facility? All I see is this stunning building that is reminiscent of Tuscan villa. So, I turned into the medical building or villa or

26

whatever it was and my jaw dropped, IT WAS LAVAGGIO! A little intimidated, I pulled into the parking lot. I didn’t understand this was the detailing facility? I walked up the marble steps and entered automotive nirvana. Allow me to assure you with 100% certainty; there is no other detail facility on the planet like Lavaggio. Everything I was told was true, and more.

Lavaggio is an entirely new concept in auto detailing. It is not a bay or a body shop it is quite possibly the nicest automotive venue that has ever been created. Lavaggio is dedicated to one simple principle: Exceeding your expectations.

To fully understand Lavaggio, you must visit. No expense has been spared in providing your vehicle and yourself with the finest experience possible.

So what makes Lavaggio so special?

It begins when you pull onto the property. As you pull in the lull of waterfalls immediately puts you at ease. As you pull up, Lavaggio’s service advisor, Gabriel greets you with a friendly smile and an extremely high level of expertise. Once you have agreed upon a service, you enter Lavaggio’s state-of-theart building. The concierge greets you, not unlike a five star hotel. She asks if you are “staying” or if you would like to be “transported” back to your home or office. Now here is where it starts to get very interesting. Included in the

price of every service is a meal made to order and a ride home. Do you need me to repeat that? You pull up to get your vehicle washed or detailed and you have your choice of a freshly made meal and/or a ride back to the office! NO EXTRA CHARGE! If it is the case that you decide you are going to stay at Lavaggio while your vehicle is being cleaned, you have your choice of relaxing on their stunning patio, watching the flat-screen TV inside, using one of three iMacs or your own wireless laptop or device. And, this is only a small portion of the facility! If it is the case that you have work to be done or want a little more privacy, just head upstairs and there is a desk and a private sitting area as well as offices that are available to you. At no extra charge!

Ok, ok, sounds great, but if I am getting a ride home and a return pick up to get my vehicle and a complimentary meal, this place must cost a fortune right? WRONG! That is the most amazing part of the Lavaggio experience; it is priced at a level that anyone can afford! In fact, it is priced better than most other quality detail shops and mobile detailers. Throw in the lunch, amenities and pampering, it is a no-brainer.

Back to exceeding expectations, the base service is the Lavaggio Signature Wash. Now, what you have to understand here is that their wash is everybody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mini-detail or detail. That signature wash which is expertly executed by

detailers, is fully customized to each vehicle, meaning that it is not a conveyor or a line, it is two detail professionals using mineral free water (R-O water) in a dedicated wash bay utilizing the finest products available. After the car is washed, it is pulled into the detail bay. Oh, the detail bay. Again, I assure you with 100% certainty that you have never seen such a detail bay or work area (see next page). Your vehicle is pulled into the bay and the detailers go to work on the inside and exterior of the vehicle. Your floor mats are put through a state-of-the-art washing and sanitizing machine. Your steering wheel, shifter and door handles are sanitized. From your wheels to your windows to your gas door, the attention to detail on the Signature Wash far exceeds the norm.

To ensure the paint looks great, the detailers finish the vehicle with a liberal portion of detail spray. Yes, this is the wash! Upon completion, your vehicle is inspected three times. THREE TIMES! This ensures that Lavaggio lives up to its promise: Exceeding your expectations. If this is just the wash, image the detail!

Also worth noting are the big, sound proof bay windows, which are incorporated into the structure. Every step of the way you can observe the skilled technicians perfecting your vehicle! Nothing is hidden and the entire process is there for you to see. The entire approach at Lavaggio is to ensure that you are 100% comfortable with every aspect of your experience and the services

27

being rendered on your vehicle.

When I tell you that you have to experience Lavaggio, you really must.

I believe it actually takes a few visits to really understand the scope of what Lavaggio has to offer ant the vision that has been recognized. Lavaggio is truly redefining auto detailing.

When one publishes a magazine, space is a precious commodity. I figured I would dedicate three pages to Lavaggio, but I could not tell the whole Lavaggio story in just three pages. I could actually dedicate a whole magazine to really elaborate on the level of detail at Lavaggio, but if you are a car guy like me, check out this one of a kind detail bay.

To detail properly, you must have an environment, which is conducive to detailing. Environmental factors like temperature, wind, fallout (overspray, dirt/dust in the air, other pollutants) all play a major role in the preparation, application and execution of detailing. At Lavaggio, the detail bay was designed to guarantee that Lavaggio had the perfect environment. From the climate controlled bay to the “clean room” air treatment system to remove dust and pollutants n the air, to the natural lighting, and the finest and most modern equipment, Lavaggio is truly one of a kind.

The detail team at Lavaggio has been trained, retrained, trained again, some more training and the are always training. Enough is never enough and to stay sharp, industry experts are in constant contact and are being flown in from all over the United States to ensure the Lavaggio team is current on all new techniques, products and information.

At Lavaggio, detailing is more than detailing, it is keeping you and your

28

family healthy! Lavaggio has researched and found that there is a direct relationship between time spent in a car and illness. This is often attributed to contaminants in your vehicle. Research shows that if you eat in your vehicle, have kids or animals, your vehicle can be as dirty if not dirtier than your toilet.

It’s true, Google it! To combat this, Lavaggio has taken a “health approach” and again, invested in training and equipment to kill germs and bacteria in your vehicle. The purpose of this “Health Approach” was simply that the Lavaggio management felt it was their responsibility to keep their guests and the guest’s families healthy.

The lift in the corner. Yup, you go it, concors detailing. There was such a high demand from guests that wanted more than just the top and inside of their vehicles done, that Lavaggio decided to put in a lift with extra-low ramps (for the sports cars owners out there). Lavaggio offers concors detailing and under-carriage detailing. They offered story about a set of wheels that they were preparing for a guest. The wheels were to be put on a vintage Ferrari that was to head up to Concorso Italiano. So Lavaggio went to work on the wire wheels and the vintage tires. Having completed the “Concours wheel and tire service”, what did Lavaggio do? They called in a local certified concours judge and had them inspected prior to delivery to the client. The vehicle took a trophy!

What types of vehicles frequent Lavaggio? On any given day, you will see a mom pull up in a SUV or a Prius owner pulling in. The irony is that most people think that Lavaggio is only for “certain cars”, but truth be told, every type of car imaginable pulls in on a daily basis. I have been there when a boat

pulled in, followed by a Carrera Gt, then a couple “soccer moms” in SUVs and then a Harley. Lavaggio was created to suit the needs of every type of vehicle owner and every type of vehicle. I have seen 4x4s covered in mud from a weekend in the desert to real 440 6-pack Cudas to Hondas, Toyotas, Kias and everything else under the sun. Lavaggio is such a value and an experience, once you visit, you have found a new home.

Lavaggio has also reached out to the car community. From offering their facility to car clubs and charitable foundations, to holding private events at to partnering with dealerships and manufacturers. Lavaggio has hosted guests like the Santa Barbara Porsche Club and parties and receptions from Hotchkis Suspensions, Lamborghini Aventador Launch parties with the Auto Gallery, Galpin Auto Sports Mustang drives, McLaren Beverly Hills test drives, Tesla test drives, and so on and so forth. Lavaggio is becoming a central hub for everything automotive.

Back to the detailing. Lavaggio takes such great care of your vehicle and they take it so seriously, every vehicle is inspected three times by three different trained experts. The technicians wear white cloth gloves and lab coats. Upper management will even does “spot inspections” to ensure the highest level of work possible. And, within 48 hours, a follow up call is made to the guest to ensure that their experience was of the approval of the guest. At Lavaggio, the experience is in the details and they are in the detail business and trust me, it shows.

Being very immersed in the automotive world, I have never come across such an organization and operation. Lavaggio has truly set a new bar that

will be very hard to replicate if it is even possible. Again, I have to stress, you have to visit the location to fully understand what has been created.

The Platinum Club at Lavaggio: Lavaggio has had such great demand for a “yearly program”, that they came up with a concept called the “Platinum Club.” The Platinum Club is a yearly program in which you enroll your vehicle. The program allows you to get your vehicle unlimited Signature Washes. Yes, that does mean every day. It entitles you to a meal with every visit, concierge services, local car service, use of the business centers and offices, invitations to private events and product launches. It also entitles you to (4) Ultimate Details, A Lease Return Detail & A New Car Detail (in the case that you trade in your vehicle), VIP treatment.

You might ask if anyone gets their car washed everyday and the answer is “yes”, they do. The value of just the washes once a week is well over $3,000.00, not including the Ultimate Details, the meal with each visit, the New vehicle and Lease return details and all of the amenities. The true value of this programs is somewhere over the $5,000.00 mark. But in classic Lavaggio style, they have priced the Platinum Club at $2275.00 and even have payment options available to you. In essence, your vehicle is guaranteed to be clean and resale value or trade-in value is realized.

I have personally enrolled vehicles and have to tell you that it is the finest experience ever. I would suggest joining to everyone. For more information on Lavaggio & the Platinum Club contact Dustin Troyan 818-584-3240 www.lavaggio.net

FUTURE CLASSIC ALFA ROMEO STELVIO

What is a fun SUV to drive, has European flair and style, kicks butt in the canyons, and yet you can still take it out on the town and the Valet’s will definitely park it in the front? No, it’s not the Maserati Levante, Bentley Betayaga, or Porsche Macan; it is the new 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio SUV. The model name was taken from the highest mountain pass in the Italian Alps noted for its 48 circuitous switchbacks that truly tests any new vehicle, and this one definitely passes with flying colors!

Due to its peppy 2.0L turbocharged 280hp, the SUV gets up and goes but

stays under control due to the all-wheel drive and 8 speed transmission. The Sport model includes Ferrari-esque paddle shifters that make going up and down the gear range even more fun. Like the Range Rover and Jaguar F Pace, there is even a switch for hill descent if you’re ever in an off-road mood.

Gas mileage is enhanced by an over-rideable Stop-Start system, 7th and 8th speed on the highway, “Advanced Efficiency” mode and the smaller engine displacement. Torque however, is not a problem with a whopping 306 ft-lb.

Driving the car (yes, it drives like a car) is a pleasure with 50/50 weight distribution and an aerodynamic coeffient of 0.30. The smooth but responsive suspension is called AlfaLink with double wishbone in the front and multilink aluminum system in the rear. The standard Q4 all-wheel drive provides rear wheel drive in normal conditions with up to 50 percent of the power reverted to the front in low-grip conditions, all tied together with a unique carbon fiber drive shaft. Braking is provided by 13 inch 4-piston Brembos in the front and 12.5” in the back.

Stelvio uses the same Giorgio platform already utilized by the Giulia, but slightly modified and raised by 8.7 inches as compared to the sedan. The SUV weighs 3,660 pounds with fluids, 320 less than an equivalent BMW

X3 and 408Â lbs less than a 4 cylinder Porsche Macan although it is slightly larger than both.

The interior is both ergonomic and spacious, with all controls easily within reach and geared toward maximized driving situations. The standard leather is of good quality and the Italian design decries the use of overt plastics.

All models come standard with an autonomous emergency braking system, rear park sensors and backup camera, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry with push-button (on the steering wheel!) and remote start, plus blind spot monitors, lane departure warning and cross-traffic detection are available.

Safety is rated at five-stars with its 97 percent score matching that of the Volvo XC90.

Measured in every way, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is my pick to become a Future Classic, in other words, the styling, engineering and drivability make this SUV a shoe-in to be considered a classic and collectible car within 20 years.
