1995 Chevrolet C1500 Silverado Extended Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Union Grove, Wisconsin, United States
The Pumpkin Truck. I named the
truck that because when I brought it home in October of 2003, it leaked air so
bad, that it shortly was sitting on the garage floor looking like, a giant
pumpkin. This is a
1995 Chevy C1500 that is a lot of fun to drive.
84,000 original miles. No rust. Stored
winters. Dependable. I have had it to Nebraska, Mississippi,
Georgia. Decent fuel mileage; 13 city,
17 highway. I bought it at 68,000. Motor has approx. 10,000 mi. Body
mods: Approx. $15,000
* Note: A
body drop is where the entire body, front to back, is tucked over the frame by
cutting out the floor and all body/bumper mounts; moving them up, and
re-welding the works. Interior
mods: Approx. $2,600
Chassis
mods: Approx. $7,600
Engine
Mods: Approx. $10,500
* Accel DFI
included a 1000cfm throttle body, single plane intake, sequential port
injection, 8 injectors, rails, fuel pump, ECM (Engine Control Module),
sequential distributor, coil and spark control, electric fuel pump. With a bigger cam and injectors, the
motor will make 500hp. Cost of purchasing the truck: $18,000 So, the cost of the truck is almost
offset by the body mods. I have over $40K invested. Nothing for my labor/time. Will consider trade for a late model
4X4 pickup. See more at www.HillJean.com Enjoy! |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
