For sale is a 1997 C3500 crew cab dually long bed with a 6.5 turbo diesel engine, automatic 4speed transmission.  It has just under 203k miles.  Has power windows, locks, power drivers seat, tilt, cruse, delay wipers, a/c, cassette deck, 60/40 front seat.

As for condition, its a truck, and has been used as a truck.

Exterior. The paint is cracking on the hood and roof. Has plenty of scratches.  It has one major dent on the left rear fender where a previous owner apparently backed into something.  A very poor fiberglass patch job was done.  One minor dent on the pass rear door, done by a friend of mine, but has no clue how it happened. Minor dent by the tailgate handle.  Then it has a few door dings.  The windshield is cracked, I bought it cracked and have never gotten pulled over in 5 years for it.

Interior. Drivers seat is not ripping.  Has a few stains and the previous owner smoked so it has some cigg burns. The hood latch needs replaced, but still works fine.  The dash right under the windshield rattles.

Mechanical.  It starts like an older diesel does, has a small oil leak in what I consider an acceptable rate for the age/miles.  Shifts perfectly fine.  Waterpump was replaced about 5k miles ago.  Front brakes/rotors replaced about 10k miles ago.  Has 2 new rear tires, 2 good rear tires, needs 2 fronts soon.  Comes with 4 extra rims.  I have installed a PMD cooler after reading that sensor likes to go out.  The a/c pump has been replaced, but it still has a leak somewhere.  You can put freon in it, it blows cold for a few hours, then goes away.

Title, I have a Arkansas title in hand, no loans on it.

Please feel free to ask questions.  It is for sale locally so I am reserving the right to end early if I get a good offer.  But I am listing with no reserve, so if it gets bids, it goes.  I have to many automobiles, I use this the least and the plates are due this month.

Payment.  I would like atleast a 10% payment within 48hrs via paypal. Then I would prefer the rest in cash at time of pickup.  I WILL NOT take a personal check.  Must be picked up by March 31st

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Bob Lutz builds the case for a mid-engined Corvette

Fri, Jan 16 2015

Rumors of a mid-engine Corvette are like automotive industry folklore at this point. Every once in a while, news pops up that it might be happening or is under development, but nothing actually ever comes to fruition as something people can actually buy. The latest spy shots strongly suggest a mid-engine 'Vette is in the cards, yet again, possibly for 2018. Now, an op ed by former General Motors executive (and definite performance car fan) Bob Lutz in Road & Track gives the inside scoop on the history of one of these proposals and lays out how to make it happen today. According to Lutz, the company's engineers believed the C6 ZR1 was at the limit for front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance in that package, and the only solution was to move the powerplant behind the driver. Lutz even got then CEO Rick Wagoner on board. The scheme made it at least as far as clay models for mid-engine versions of the 'Vette and Cadillac XLR. Eventually, a lack of money got in the way, though, bringing the project to an end. Lutz puts a lot of faith in GM's current leaders, especially Mary Barra and Mark Reuss. He thinks the chances of a mid-engine 'Vette happening this time are better than 50 percent. The model, rumored to be named Zora, could offer over 700 horsepower in an ultra lightweight body and be priced at about $120,000 to "suck the doors off everybody." Head over to Road & Track to get some insights from this highly respected and entertaining auto industry veteran. Related Video:

GM is training more first responders for EV emergencies in the U.S. and Canada

Mon, Jul 4 2022

GM is training more first responders to be able to handle emergencies involving electric vehicles. The automaker is "significantly expanding" its EV First Responder Training program in the United States and Canada as electric vehicle sales continue to grow. Its initiative will primarily focus on training firefighters and equipping them with the necessary knowledge about full electric vehicle technologies. GM says it's hoping to dispel misconceptions when it comes to handling EVs in emergency situations. One of those misconceptions is that water is dangerous around EV batteries — turns out the recommended way to put out lithium-ion battery fires is by using copious amounts of water.  Andrew Klock, a senior manager of education and development at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), said: "The best way for the public and private vehicle fleet owners to rapidly adopt EVs is to train firefighters and emergency responders on how to handle incidents involving battery powered vehicles. The fire service has had more than 100 years to gain the knowledge needed to respond to internal combustion engine fires, and it is critical that they are now educated on EV safety." The NFPA held trainings of its own that had benefited 300,000 first responders, but it believes more than 800,000 members of the community still need further training.   GM previously piloted the program in southeast Michigan, but now it's conducting training events across Michigan and in Fort Worth, Texas, as well. Later this summer, it's bringing the program to metro New York City and Southern California. Participants will have to attend four-hour sessions, with up to two per day, held in various venues, such as fire houses and dealerships. Interested first and second responders can register through the program's dedicated website and earn a certificate from the Illinois Fire Service Institute if they score higher than 70 percent on the learning assessment by the end of their training.  The automaker already has a few EV models on the market, including the Chevy Bolts, the GMC Hummer EV and the Cadillac Lyriq. It has huge electrification plans for the future, though, and training responders could help make potential customers more receptive to the idea of switching to electric vehicles. GM aims to launch 30 EV models by 2025 and to exclusively sell EVs ten years after that. Related video: Green Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Safety Electric
