I have a very nice, above average 1968 Chevy pick-up listed for auction. This truck has had literally thousands of dollars and countless man hours spent on the resto-mod restoration of this truck. I call it restomod, because it is not 100% original. It has new black paint with every piece of new chrome on it, new emblems, wipers, new bed floor, wheel tubs, cowl induction hood, custom seat cover, door panels, visors, glovebox, gauges, carpet, window cranks, door handles, dash pad, lighter, alternator, brake lines, wheel cylinders, shoes, window felts, both inner and outer, glass run, weatherstrip, windshield, inspection.......the list goes on and on.... All the lights work, heat and defrost work also. The truck has a .030 over 350, flat top pistons, "double hump" 300 h.p. heads, aluminum intake, holley carb, hei distributor, headers, flowmasters that have about 12,000 miles on them. It does not smoke or rattle at all and runs great with no problems. I drive the truck regularly, so the mileage will change. It has an aluminum case, 3-speed manual floor shift transmission that shifts smooth and quiet with no problems. The truck is geared low, I would guess at least 3:73 or maybe lower. It does not have a positive traction rear end, if you gas it hard it will break loose spinning with 1 tire only. The truck is smooth on the road, drives good, runs good and looks good. I would not be afraid to start anywhere on this truck. I have a set of old school round bed rails, vent visors, tail-gate guard, unity spot light and cowl vent that is already cut and painted that will go with the truck also. I don't think you can find a nicer, more dependable truck for the reserve that is on this one. I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have. My feedback score reflects that I operate with honesty and integrity and I want to keep it that way. I have owned this truck for awhile and driven it regularly. I know it is in good condition and ready to go with no known problems at all. I reserve the right to end the auction early. The truck is for sale locally. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
On Nov-20-13 at 11:25:49 PST, seller added the following information: The truck has 15X10 corvette style rally wheels all the way around with 275x60x15 T/A Radials. It has the old style "police" center caps with wide wheel bands. The tires have 50 to 60% tread left on them. |

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
