tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car

The usual suspects can usually be found in the glossy magazines of the US car scene. Regardless of whether they are powerful pickups, muscle cars from the 1960s and 70s or fat SUVs and off-road vehicles that blow up local road conditions with exorbitant proportions. With various tuning measures, they all ensure that fans of US vehicle culture are happy and satisfied. But it doesn't always have to be the full-fat level of automotive engineering when you think of American car brands, because the manufacturers can also have one or more numbers small. Especially in South America, Ford and Chevrolet have long since brought more compact models onto the market, and Chevrolet, for example, has a strong position in Latin America in the small and compact car segment.
Black restomod with subtle mods!
A model that represented the middle class of days long ago was the Chevy Opala, which was available as a sedan, coupe and station wagon version called the Caravan. Such a model from 1977, which is currently on sale on the South American platform Mercado Livre for 40.000 Brazilian reals (only about 7.000 euros) and is located in the greater São Paulo area, is now being presented to you in more detail.
The vehicle also has a very low mileage, which is why the price is fair from our point of view. It doesn't take much to turn a classic into an eye-catcher. Outwardly only those fall Lowering springs and the elegant chrome wheels in 18-inch format, which thanks to the classic lines are an excellent match for the car.
Visually, the vehicle is an elegant oldie whose power you can't tell because it has only been subtly refined. And we are sure that he will also be well received at a classic car show, regardless of whether it is a US car event or a general classic car meeting.
Interior is in perfect condition!
It seems as if there was not only one in the perfectly preserved interior dished sports steering wheel from a Chevrolet SS, but also Modern technology Moved in. A new audio system and Additional Devices, which show the boost pressure and the oil temperature, can be found in the cockpit. So there is a touch of sportiness in the classic interior.
4,1-liter R6 turbo gasoline engine provides propulsion!
The old row six was made with the help of a turbocharger Whipped up. This joins in Triple carburetor, which teases a little more power out of the antique engine. Unfortunately, the performance data and the torque are not known to us, but thanks to the relatively large displacement and the turbocharger, things should go well in the Opala.
