This is a 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne C 10 1/2 ton longbed pickup. It is probably as rustfree and original as you will find out there. It was owned forever by an elderly fellow down in Tucson,Arizona. It has been off the road and in storage for the last number of  years.The last Arizona registration in the truck was 2007. So it will need a tune up, fluids,belts ,filters,hoses changed. The stock 350 engine sounds pretty good, did not see smoke and should be good to go after freshening it up.. It will also need the brakes brought back as there are none, or very little right now. Which I found out yesterday. I put some fresh gas in it, put a good battery in and turned the key. Started right up. I drove it in my lot. Put the brakes on and nothing. Pumped them a  couple times and it stopped. So this is no highway machine right now. But it will take little to get it going down the roads again. This is one of those trucks you can drive as is, fix it up as you go. It will need new seat cover,carpet, arm rests , steering wheel cover and such on the interior.The door panels and the headliner are in pretty nice shape. The exhaust is a little loud so it will need some repair there. Tires are probably due.Not too mention brakes. But it really does not need too much. While the paint is original, it can probably be cleaned up enough to go as is. You only have original paint once.  The body is a beauty. Really no rust. Excellent,rockers, floor,cab corners. There is a small hole on top of the driver's  front sill near the gasket where they all rust. The wood in the bed is original and needs work. There is a heavy rubber mat on it. Which may help protecting the wood, but it also traps any moisture under it and rots the wood. There are some bad spots and missing pieces on the front part of the bed.Some of the side molding is off but it is in the bed..This truck came from the factory with quite a few options. Rear sliding window,HD springs,gauge package,tinted glass,AC,PS,Delco AM push button radio,Custom Sport truck, 350, HydraMatic AT.There is some kind of antique brake controller below the steering wheel. It belongs in the Smithsonian.The original owners manual in the plastic is still in the glovebox.There is a rear trailer hitch set up so pulling a small trailer would be no problem. This would be a great weekend, go to the dump, go to The Home Depot, haul the kids to the games,go around town in style truck. Or make a great shop truck.Hard to beat these old Chevys for ease of maintenance,parts supply and all around great value. Especially one as rustfree,solid and original as this one.This is no showroom truck, or even close. Just a straight honest original well maintained old Chev with plenty of life left. Truck has a straight clean Arizona title and is ready to go. Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end. Pick up here in Presott,Arizona is encouraged. The truck will start up and drive well enough onto a car hauler so that it would not be a non op and charged as such by the transport guys. Storage till pick up is no problem.And I can help arrange overseas transport no problem.

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
