I TRADED FOR THIS TRUCK RECENTLY BUT AM NOW MOVING AND WON'T HAVE THE SPACE FOR A 3RD VEHICLE - SO MUST SELL BEFORE MOVING.
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
THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT A NEW RADIATOR IN (WITH COOLER), NEW WATER PUMP, NEW BILLET GRILLE ON THE FRONT, NEW IGNITION BARREL (APPARENTLY KEY GOT STUCK IN THE BARREL AND COULDN'T BE REMOVED), INSTALLED LARGE CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS THAT COME OUT THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK JUST FORWARD OF THE REAR WHEELS, THERE'S A NEWER BLUE BENCH SEAT, NEWER BLUE HEADLINER. POWER WINDOWS / LOCKS WORK - GAUGES LOOK LIKE THEY WORK BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED FULLY (THERE'S A GAUGE UNDER THE DASH WHICH ISN'T WIRED AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S FOR). THIS HAS DUAL GAS TANKS - BUT PREVIOUS OWNER ONLY USED RIGHT SIDE TANK.
400 TURBO TRANSMISSION JUST INSTALLED, AND I WILL GIVE BUYER THE OLD 400 TRANSMISSION (THIS WAS RECENTLY REBUILT - LOOKS CLEAN - BUT HAD AN ISSUE GOING INTO 2ND GEAR - HENCE THE OTHER TRANSMISSION BEING INSTALLED). TRUCK IS BY NO MEANS PERFECT, IT IS NO WHERE NEAR A SHOW TRUCK - IT WAS JUST BUILT TO LOOK GOOD AND BE NOTICED GOING DOWN THE ROAD (WHICH IT DOES - I STOPPED TO PUT GAS IN IT AND EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT OR COMMENT HOW COOL IT IS)...THE BODY HAS A NUMBER OF SMALL DENTS, THE PAINT IS NOT PERFECT (LOOKS GOOD FROM A DISTANCE), CRUISE CONTROL / WIPERS NOT WORKING (DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE NOT HOOKED UP OR DON'T WORK). NO AC - BUT CAN BE EASILY ADDED TO THESE OLDER TRUCKS. FAN SEEMS TO BLOW UNDER THE DASH (HAS COOLED TRUCK IN SUMMER). I WAS TOLD THE STARTER WIRING IS CLOSE TO THE HEADERS BY THE MECHANIC THAT PUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOULD BE MOVED AT SOME POINT (NOT SURE HOW SIMPLE THAT IS). CURRENTLY AT MY HOME WITH A FLAT BATTERY FROM SITTING (I WAS TOLD BATTERY WAS NEW). WHEN PICKING UP BRING JUMPER CABLES! DOES RUN THOUGH - AS WITH MOST OF THESE 350 CHEVROLETS THEY ARE CHEAP TO WORK ON AND LAST FOR A LONG TIME. MILEAGE OF APPROX. 88,000 IS BELIEVED TO BE TRUE - BUT NO WAY OF KNOWING. IF I WAS GOING TO KEEP IT I WOULD SWAP OUT THE CARPET AND MAKE SURE THE WIPERS WORKED.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK AND AS MENTIONED IT WAS A TRADE AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE TRUCK OR CHECK ANYTHING...ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT SEEMS TO RUN WELL (KICKS YOU BACK IN YOUR SEAT WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP). OBVIOUSLY SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED. BUYER TO PAY WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE WITH $500 DEPOSIT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION END. HAPPY TO HELP WITH SHIPPING - BUT AT BUYERS EXPENSE. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN CENTRAL FLORIDA JUST NORTH OF ORLANDO.
2 KEYS COME WITH TRUCK - CLEAR TITLE. PHOTOS SHOW CONDITION - BUT DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING - PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING.

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?

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
