This is a Texas original truck that I bought from the second
owner in 1981. I have enjoyed it tremendously, but due to my age and the coming
winter (I now live in Pittsburgh); I think it needs a new home. It is a daily
driver that I would trust to drive anywhere. Additionally, it has enough
options and comes with enough new parts that someone could make “Big Red” truly
special. It came from the factory with most all options as a Custom Cab
Deluxe model. I was also told it was a “Texas Dealer Special Edition” as it has
Genuine Chevrolet hood spears and crossed racing flag emblem that I have never
seen on another truck. Comes with the protecto-plate, original owners manual,
and many, many thousands of dollars of receipts. The truck was bought from
Graff Chevrolet in Grand Prairie, TX. I have a few more factory options that I
will include with the sale to make it one of the most highly-optioned trucks
you will see. The period-correct 327 4-barrel engine has about 20,000 miles
on the rebuild. The original Powerglide transmission and rear end have about
10,000 miles on the rebuild. All perform flawlessly. The correct original size
whitewall tires have about 5,000 miles on them. It passed rigorous PA Inspections the last two years, though
I have recently placed Historic plates on it so that I no longer have to waste
a day in an automotive waiting room. The few known issues are a slight wobble
in the steering wheel and a non-working horn button in the professionally
rebuilt steering column, so I will include another complete used column that
looks to be in great shape ($200). There is an exhaust leak on the left side,
it is a loose gasket. I have included a new “doughnut”. The oil pan drain bolt
leaks slightly, I have included a new Summit oil pan, drain bolt, one-piece
no-leak gasket and new ARP bolts ($92). I will include 5 quarts of Pennzoil and
new oil filter. The gas gauge doesn’t work, the gauge is new, and so I have
included a new sending unit for the tank ($75). The temperature gauge needs a
new sending unit and the Vintage Air system should be charged as I never use
it. Original seat, tracks, rebuild kit, and new red/white upholstery are
included ($300) to replace the almost new leather seat with flip-up middle cubby/console
and matching seat belts ($950) if desired, as is a complete set of new
replacement stainless steel exterior fleet side body molding/trim from Brothers
($600). While the truck is amazingly clean for its age, there are a
few small rust areas developing and a small dent in the passenger side bed. The
cab was replaced and the original VIN plate lost, but I have a new unstamped
plate with the correct original rosette rivets and reverse stamps to replace
the Chevrolet DD plate that goes above the driver’s door. I have two extra
rivets if anyone wants to make me an offer. The frame has the original VIN
stamped into it and matches the title. I also have a used and new GVW plate for
the side vent area. As mentioned, everything passed PA’s strict title and
inspection laws. I won’t divulge the reasonable reserve, but I am a motivated
seller, so I intend to sell the truck. Bid to win. I will help with shipping,
or you can fly into PIT, I will pick you up, and you can drive it home. $500
deposit from wining bidder in 3 days, reminder paid in cash or bank draft upon
pickup at my house. Check my feedback. ·

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides
Sat, Apr 26 2014In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt
Sat, Sep 12 2015The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
