 1987 Chevrolet silverado k30

Up for auction is my fully restored 1987 big block Chevrolet truck. This truck is my pride and joy and I swore I would never sell it but I have reached a point where I no longer ever drive it or get out and enjoy it. Since I purchased the truck I have only put about 400 miles on the truck so that gives you a little idea of how little this truck gets driven. The main reason I have decided to sell it though is I am looking to purchase a new bass boat for the upcoming 2015 tournament season and I could use the money from the sale of my truck for a down payment on the new boat so here it is. This truck is a absolute beast and looks great doing it at the same time. Not 1 penny was spared on the build. I purchased the truck 3 years ago from the original owner of the truck. He bought the truck new in 1987 and after letting it sit for 12 years do to a bad trans, he decided to restore it about 5 years ago. He did a full cab off build and the results speak for themselves.  There was 11k spent on the body work and paint job alone. The only thing that was not replaced was all the original interior was reinstalled. The interior is still in good shape but I have all new interior for The truck that just needs to be installed. All of the new interior is black in color except for the seats and center console which are a tan leather. Please see the attached pictures but you will see I have a full room of brand new in the box interior for the truck, about $4200.00 worth of new interior to be exact. I have new dash, carpet, bucket seats and center console, rubber headliner with built in speakers, door panels, a/c control panel, blower motor, and I even have a brand new in the box 1 piece window kit with new regulators. This kit alone was $850.00 and it's all new in the box. Trucks also comes with a brand new complete set of auto meter gauges that were installed when I bought the truck and custom dash bezel. Drive train wise  this truck is built right and bullet proof. Truck has a professionally built 468 big block from W.C performance here in Sarasota, fl in it, motor was dyno' d on a stand before being installed in the truck at the time of the build. The motor made 661 hp on cam 2 on the stand. The truck runs good on 93 but is a different beast on cam 2 which is all I run in it. Dana 60 front and corporate 14 bolt in the rear, 4.88 gears front and rear with a spool in the rear and eaton locker in the front. Trans wise the truck has a turbo 400 with 2200 stall and Kevlar clutches. 205 t case and custom traction bars. The truck has disc brakes all the way around.  I'm sure there is a lot of things I missed and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. You can message me or call me on my cell at 941 809 5105. If I mis your call just leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I would be willing to trade for a 2006 or newer bass boat ( ranger, skeeter, nitro or stratos. I am not interested in any other makes so please don't ask) with at least a 200 on it, if the boat is in great shape I will be willing to work with you, other than this I will not except any other trades so please do not waste my time or yours. Please make sure all funds are available before bidding. I payed 15k for the truck 3 years ago. I have since put the brand new 40 inch boggers and 16.5 x 14 wheels on the truck at the tune of  $4000.00 dollars, the auto Meter gauges at $1100.00 and I also have another $4200.00 dollars worth of interior that will come with the truck. Now obviously I do not expect to get all my money out of the truck but please don't insult me with low ball offers. I am starting the bidding at $12,500 with no reserve but I will not except a penny less. The good thing is I don't need the money so if it doesn't sell it doesn't matter. Also keep in mind I have the truck for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time if truck sells locally. Please see attached photos for the few flaws the truck has. There is a baseball sized spider web in the paint and clear on the drivers door where a dent was removed several years ago by a paint less dent guy and the paint and clear seperated unfortunatly. There is also a spot on the passenger door where the clear coat is burned from trying to buff off 2 sided tape from a old rain guard. Other than these 2 minor spots this truck is cosmetically flawless and 100% rust free. Both cab corners, floor board in the cab, both doors and hood were replaced with new panels from lmc before truck was painted so truck would be 100% rust free.  Thank you for looking and good luck bidding.

*please keep in mind there will be a $2000.00 non refundable deposit due via pay pal within 48 hours of auction close. If full payment is not received via cash in person or wire transfer from bank within 7 days of auction end the $2000.00 deposit will be forfeited and truck will be relisted. Please make sure you have the full amount available before bidding to avoid this happening. Thank you in advance for your understanding on this.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts

Mon, Dec 7 2015

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC. Read more at Green Car Congress.GM Canada will build a fleet of autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Volts. The self-driving Volts will be deployed for testing at GM's Warren, Michigan Technical Center. Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
