1969 Chevy Truck Pro Street Custom 454 on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
|
'69 Chevy C-10, 454, Powerglide, narrowed 9" ford rear end. I'm selling this truck for a friend who does not have an ebay account, but he has to sell his baby for financial reasons. He has owned this truck for 20 years, and has hundreds of hours of work in it. He's a body man and has put many hours into the body work, you will not find many other trucks as straight as this one.
Body and paint: The top has been chopped 3 inches, the windshield has been laid back, the hood has been sectioned 1 inch. Tailgate has been seamlessly welded with a custom rear valence panel. Custom fabricated inner wheel wells and removable panels inside the bed cover the fuel tank and battery (the pictures have one of the panels taken off to show how they're removable). Flush mounted front LED turn signals and LED 3rd brake light. 4 coats of PPG Torch Red, 4 coats of clear, color sanded and buffed. Ghost flames inside the bed. Pictures really don't do the paint justice. Engine: 454, built by Budlong Engines (one of the high end shops here). Comp Cams Thumper Cam, gear drive, oval port heads (781 casting), Performer RPM air gap intake, 750 vacuum secondary holley carb, MSD distributor. About 10:1 compression. Runs on 91 octane pump gas, doesn't overheat, The truck is VERY fast, but not too radical that it's not streetable. Drivetrain: Powerglide, 3500 RPM Hughes converter, narrowed 9" ford rear end with 4:56 gears and traction-lock. Chassis: Frame has been back-halved with an Art Morrison rear subframe, 33x21.5 Mickey Thompson tires and Weld pro star wheels. Front suspension has been lowered with tubular lower control arms, and 2 inch dropped springs, rebuilt with all polyurethane bushings and converted to Disc brakes. Interior: Autometer gauges, Custom upholstery, Rockford-Fosgate amp and 10" sub woofer. All new wiring harness. new weather stripping. Issues: two small chips in the paint, one on the left side of the bed (pictured), and one on the right side of the bed (looks exactly like the one in the picture). One crack in the windshield, about 3" long, on the upper right corner, from when the windshield was installed (pictured) Other than these minor issues the truck is in show condition. Unfortunately the owner does not have time to fix these issues and he needs the truck gone so he is willing to sell it for way less than he has in it. The truck is also for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks for looking! |

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
