There are a lot of trucks listed online with a pretty paint job and a drivetrain than is substandard. This truck is the exact opposite of that! I have well over $20,000 invested in this truck. It has a 5.3 vortec engine with a 4l80E transmission. The engine has an LS6 intake, 85mm throttle body, LS6 cam, ARP headstuds, LS9 head gaskets, 42lb injectors and Aeromotive fuel rails. The transmission is a 4l80E, with an Edge Racing 3000rpm lockup converter. It has a Hughes aluminum pan and an aluminum driveshaft. It has a 12 bolt rear with posi and 3.73 gears. It has power steering, disc brakes on the front with a hydroboost master cylinder and dropped spindles. All of the suspension components have been replaced, front and rear. It has CPP anti-sway bars front and rear. It has Classic Auto Air air conditioning that works great! The air conditioning and the electric engine fan is controlled by the ecm just like a factory setup. It has a custom built 21 gallon fuel tank mounted under the bed with a 255lph pump inside. I have a shop that performs LS engine swaps and this is my personal truck. It has been on more than one Hotrod power tour. It gets 20mpg with the air on and will blow the tires off of it! You can fly in and drive this truck home anywhere! It has 15x10 corvette rally wheels on all four corners with 275/60/15 tires. The speedometer does not work right now because I had an Abbott cable x box hooked to it and recently removed and sold it to replace the gauges with electronic ones. Everything else works on the truck. The truck needs rocker panels , which I have new and will include with the truck. The tailgate needs replacing , but the rest of the truck is relatively rust free. It still has all of the original body mouldings on it. It is impossible to build this truck for what I am asking for it. I fully understand that if it had a new paint job, I could get a whole lot more for it. The only reason I am selling it is because I have the opportunity to buy a car that I have always wanted. All this truck needs is a paint job and interior and it would be perfect! If you are serious about buying the truck, email me at jct332wpd@aol.com and give me your name and phone number and I will call you to answer any questions you may have. This truck is listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime. Buyer will be responsible for pickup or shipping. Truck is sold as is with no warranty. It has been garage kept for the last 14 years. I'm sure there are a lot things I'm forgetting, so feel free to ask.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
