1961 Chevy Corvair Rampside Pickup Truck. Highly Collectible!! on 2040-cars
Angleton, Texas, United States
|
1961 Corvair Rampside Pickup Truck. Most unusual eye catching truck. First year Rampside model, updated with 1964 features, such as though the gas tank shift linkage for easier shifting. Generator replaced with alternator, manual choke with automatic choke, red painted wheels (as seen in one or two of the pictures) with factory "mag" wheels, and brake lines replaced with stainless steel lines. Wheel cylinders may be in need to be rebuilt. Engine needs repair, my mechanic was revving up the engine to 6 or 7 thousand revs when it stopped abruptly with a ka lunk bump bump. it seemed to come from the #6 cylinder. To me it sounded like a connecting rod gave out, but I haven't opened the engine to see. Other than that, the window glass is 100%, with just a hint of windshield scratch. Body has only one dent, a 3" circle one near the radio antenna. All 4 tires show very little tread wear. Rust appears on the corner of the doors, pictures show the worst ones. The truck comes with a bench seat out of a corvair van, great for giving the beauty queen and her first and second runners up a ride in a local parade. The horn has been replaced with a after market one that gives you the choice of 25 different sounds including Ah-hoo-ga and "wolf whistle." Included are parts to add dual flame throwers to the exhaust system. To see what this truck truck could become google "Jay Leno Rampside pickup." I would like to fix it my self as the parts are available and reasonably price, but I suffer from Parkinson's Syndrome and don't have the stamina to do the repairs. it has advanced to a stage that I can't do repairs any more. |

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
