    Up for sale is a 1976 Chevrolet Stepside Scottsdale 4x4 regular cab, with dual gas tanks, saddle bag gas tanks.  This truck was purchased and shipped from California 2 summers ago and has been sitting in a garage for the past winter. The truck runs great and sounds very strong.  It has lots of torque and horsepower.  The engine is a big block that was put in by another owner many years ago, however the owner i bought it from was not sure of the exact engine size and i have had a hard time decoding it, even with the help of some guys at various automotive shops.  It has an EFI ignition, with new alternator, new battery, new starter, as well as a new steering housing unit.

The entire front end has been redone, with the exception of the front sway bar, which has brand new polyurethane bushings, clamps and bolts.  The truck is sitting on a fairly new 4 inch Pro Comp suspension lift with a four inch block in back, originial springs and Pro Comp springs up front with Pro Comp shocks all around.  I recently purchased brand new Pro Comp shocks for the entire truck and put the new ones on the front.  I have a brand new set ready to be installed on the rear along with a set of brand new rear Pro Comp 4 inch leaf springs to replace the 4 inch blocks, giving it a much better ready and reducing axle wrap!

The truck has the Stepside bed with saddle bag gas tanks, two 16 gallon tanks, one on each side.  It also has the wood bed, which was replaced about ten years ago and is showing a little bit of wear in the wood now, but mainly just needs a good sanding and staining from being weathered.  Brand new inner fender wells, along with new front bull bar and some new chrome on the front trim.  I just did an oil change and put on a K&N oil filter, along with a new Fram aif filter.  It has dual exhaust and the exhaust is in great condition, as well as sounds great!

Truck is painted blue and was repainted by previous owner, but there are areas where a little patch work was done such as on drivers side door.  There is minor bubbling in normal spots, such as along the rear taillights, small areas on the under part of the bed and some bubbling, with minor rust on the front lip of the hood.  The tailgate of the truck is showinig some signs of rust on parts of the lettering, and this seems to be the worst area.  There was minor welding done underneath both driver and passenger side floor boards, where a 6 inch by 2 inch piece was welded on each side to protect the underside where i think rust was starting to form.

Overall, the truck is in very good condition for a vehicle this old and has been well taken care of.  I have driven it up to about a 60 mile stretch at a time, as well as on highway and it runs very nicely and strong.  I haven't really gotten it above 65, just because it's a tank and i take it easy, but i'm not sure of how far, distance wise, if someone were to drive it cross country.  The gas gauge for both tanks, doesnt seem to be reading correctly, so i have just been filling it up randomly and it seems to get about 10-12 miles to the gallon, which is pretty good for this big engine.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor 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.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
