 1972 Chevy C20. It has an after market GM 350 crate engine (unknown mileage or when it was put in) with the stock 4 speed manual tranny. Engine doesn't smoke. It has the factory power lock (posi) rear end. It runs great. Manual steering. Breaks work fine but need work. Won't hold fluid but stops with the drums just fine.  Heat and everything works great. It sits in the garage and I drive it only about once a month. If you know these trucks it has the typical rust in the rockers and floor boards on the corners. Also rust near the bottom of the front fenders and near the tool box. Looks like someone attempted a horrible restoration at some point. Some parts on the driver's side floor board and wheels wells were fiberglassed.

The tailgate works good. It also has the rare passenger side tool box on the outside bed. It still needs work but I get lots of compliments just the way it is. Someone painted it a while back. It originally had the white top. It handles and drives great. Has two gas tanks but only one works. The box has some dents but is savable. Cab supports will need replaced eventually.  Have the original manual for it. I've done the following in the last year or so:

New Front Bumper/Bumper Brackets
New Grill Surround
New Head Light Bezels/Parking Light Lenses
New Cowl/Hood Seal
New Stainless Cowl Vent Guards
New Wipers
New Michelin MS2 Tires w/ Less than 200 miles
It has Ford 8 lugs that I had sandblasted and powder coated black.
I repainted the stainless caps that are hard to find. (Have over $2000 in the wheels/tires)
New battery/fuel filter/air filter
New Dash Pad
New Gauge Bezel (All lights work) Brake lights/Head Lights/Turn Signals All Work
Bought original black door panels that were redone nicely. I put on new door handles and window cranks. Also has new exterior door handles and chrome window felt.
Has a tape deck radio that works. Never got around to putting a CD player in it.
Some other new small misc stuff like new emer brake handle, ect.

The truck is used and old!!! It's nowhere near perfect. If you want to look at in person please feel free to contact me. If you want specific pictures of something contact me.  I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime if sold locally. SOLD AS IS/No Warranty. I've tried to describe it the best I can. Would be a nice driver to restore. Clean and free title.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
