1971 chevyrolet 4x4 pickup truck that has been restored with the original theme in mind with a touch of chrome and horsepower! The truck runs and drives great, I would say you could drive it anywhere. The restore is fresh with less than 500 miles since complete restore. The 454 big block has been bored out to a 468ci and runs excellent. Elderbrock carburetor, intake and valve covers give the engine a nice look. The interior is all new deluxe Cheyenne, with a black/white hounds tooth seat. The cluster and glove box cover are out of a original Cheyenne super truck. The paint is DuPont base coat clear coat and is polished to perfection! The body is straight and body lines are excellent. This was a rust free truck before the restoration started. All new Cheyenne moldings upper and lower, new tailgate band, new chrome grille surround, new headlights, new front and rear bumpers, spray in LINEX bed liner, LED tail lights all new inner and outer door handles, etc etc. you can get the idea. This truck was built to grab attention! To say the least it screams look at me! The most important thing is its drivability, it drives great and has excellent road manners. The 35x12.5x15 BFG mud terrains give it a tough look but this truck has not been on a dirt road since restore. This 71 bad boy was not a budget build, all parts used were the best money could buy! Parts and labor alone was enough to make anyone raise both eyebrows!  These trucks are becoming very desirable so I understand this may not be for everyone but if its the truck you are looking for, please bid to win! I just asked to have your funds ready to go.  If you have questions please email me, I am very busy in the day as you probably are to but I will get back to you as soon as I can. I have the truck listed locally and will sell early if opportunity arrives. Thank you for looking.

 Just to clarify the glove box lid is original to the tuck but I added the wood grain trim piece to the outside, this is not a decal or sticker and is original gm part. The paper tag on the inside of the glove box lid is still on with the 115 wheel base and the vin that matches the body tag, along with options of the truck.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers

Fri, Oct 26 2018

Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
