1972 Chevy Shortbed, Fully Restored Big Block Black Over Black Beauty on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
Up for grabs is my 1972 Super Cheyenne Shortbed. Most would consider this truck to be show-quality. This truck was fully restored in 2000 and has been garaged and undercove since. Has about 2500 miles since all the work was done. Speedo was reset at that time. This was not a cosmetic makeover, but a real restoration. The truck was born with a small block but was upgraded with new BBC when restored. Motor is a 74, but was built to 400 hp and even more torque. Build sheet included from reputable builder. Over .020 bore and standard crank. Works realy well. Trans built at same time. Radiator upgraded and rebuilt last week when Brand new Vintage Air installed on truck. Old AC sold with truck if buyer desires. New Set up is fully electronic and control head is stock in appearance. In my opinion, this beats stock hands-down because it loses the old vacumn controls and stiff cables, and uses modern compressor that is much lighter in weight and more efficient. this was professionally installed at cost of more than 3K alone. The only trim that appears to not have been replaced during resto are door handles and they still look great. Paint was high dollar job that still looks great. One marble size spot on bottom door corner needs repainted. For paint to look this good almost fifteen years later is testament to quality of work. Body is arrow straight, gaps good, hood hinges, doors, etc open and close like a vault. Smelly gas tank removed from cab and blazer style tankrelocated between frame rails in rear and filler moved to left rear wheel well in truck bed. Again, done to high standard. Sending unit was tweaked a few weeks ago (removed tank to fix it) worked for a while and quit. Frustrating! All other guages working including factory tach. I consider this to be the most desireable year and the most desireable colors... Thats why I bought it! I wanted something other than ralley wheels and sourced new Wheel Vintiques OEM steelies in 8" and 10". Had them powdercoated in black and then clear. Put new wheel vintiques chevy centers and rings on them. This setup ended costing about 800 when done. Since wheels can be a personal taste choice, I will include a set of alloys in same dimensions to new buyer. Tires at 50% or better. The suspension on this truck is stock. The truck sits nice and drives nice. Front disc brakes of course. The mufflers are new as are the stainless tips at rear. Louder than a stock muffler but not flowmaster loud. The interior is near perfect, if not perfect. Dash pad was replaced as was most of the bling. Seat and carpet show no wear or damage. The starter is new, carb was kitted a few months ago. Newish battery. Glass near perfect, if not perfect. Reguators great. Bumpers rechromed and look new. I welcome/encourage personal inspection by buyer or buyer's agent. If you can afford the gas, you could fly in and drive this home. Too nice for open transport. I have the build sheet for this truck and all reciepts. Selling for considerably less than build cost. title held at my bank (USAA) Fitted Car cover included with sale. Car at my place under cover inside. Happy to store for up to a month for buyer if needed. Happy to provide photos for interested parties and to speak on the phone. Thanks

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
2015 Chevy Silverado Custom Sport is subtle in black
Mon, Jan 12 2015In a world where trucks are growing bigger, bolder grilles and more muscle-bound looks, Chevrolet is trying something a bit different with its recently revealed Custom Sport edition for the 2015 Silverado at the this year's Detroit Auto Show. The edition leans on being understated, instead of screaming about its abilities. The design is supposed to be a throwback to the Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late '60s that brought a touch of elegance to these usually utilitarian vehicles at the time. The heart of the package is its monochromatic body-color touches for the bumpers and grille surround. The one on display at the show is especially attractive with a chrome-accented black grille that fits perfectly with the rest of the body. The edition does get a bit more shine with chrome covering the 20-inch wheels, door handles, mirror caps and side moldings. In addition, buyers get projector beam headlights, tow hooks and heated power mirrors. The custom package is available on the LT trim in black or white and on the LTZ in black or White Diamond Tricoat. Take a look at this monochromatic take on the Silverado as it sits in the Motor City. 2015 SILVERADO OFFERS CUSTOM SPORT PACKAGE Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups DETROIT, 07/01/15 – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados. The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors. "The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. "Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado." The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today.
Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady
Mon, Nov 3 2014Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon.
