The Pumpkin Truck.

I named the truck that because when I brought it home in October of 2003, it leaked air so bad, that it shortly was sitting on the garage floor looking like, a giant pumpkin.

This is a 1995 Chevy C1500 that is a lot of fun to drive.  84,000 original miles. No rust.  Stored winters.  Dependable.  I have had it to Nebraska, Mississippi, Georgia.  Decent fuel mileage; 13 city, 17 highway.  I bought it at 68,000.  Motor has approx. 10,000 mi.

* Accel DFI included a 1000cfm throttle body, single plane intake, sequential port injection, 8 injectors, rails, fuel pump, ECM (Engine Control Module), sequential distributor, coil and spark control, electric fuel pump.

With a bigger cam and injectors, the motor will make 500hp.

Cost of purchasing the truck: $18,000

So, the cost of the truck is almost offset by the body mods.

I have over $40K invested.  Nothing for my labor/time.

Will consider trade for a late model 4X4 pickup.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
