This is a national Corvair convention 2 time "people's choice" award winning custom 1962 Corvair fuel-injected, Rampside pick-up on front airbags, with less than 100 miles on totally rebuilt F/I engine. The engine was built with 30 over forged pistons, Isky Camshaft, custom bolt on fuel injection, Mega Squirt programmable ECU, BBM mustang throttle body, GSXR fuel injectors, headers (which are dented on the bottom, but work fine), bullet pulley, one wire alt and painted, powder coated engine shrouds.

The body was totally stripped and smoothed, including shaving of door handles and all body seams. Doors and airbags work off a key fob remote which is shown in the video link below. We made custom clear taillights with red LED bulbs and built-in front bumper fog lamps.

This truck is painted with Nissan Infinity G35 Laser Blue and finished with a GM bright White Strip. The bed of the truck, cab roof, and cab floor, have been sprayed with a tough truck bed liner and colour matched with the Laser blue. Widows are tinted and 17x7 polished Centerline wheels with front disk brakes, front air bags, and totally rebuilt front suspension finish the sleek clean look.

Blue and white also carry onto the interior dash, vinyl seats and custom door panels. The dashboard fuel gauge and speedo have a laser cut white face insert that sits behind the dash glass but can be removed at the buyer's request). Included on the inside is a matching blue carpet, stereo, sub, amp and a spider head temp gauge mounted in the glove box door.

Too much to list! This an amazing, fun truck. Buyer won't be disappointed!

There will be some things to tinker with and some small repairs to be made, such as the small rust spots starting to come up on the bottom of both front doors (refer to pictures). As well as odds and ends bolts, screws and small door grommets which I haven't gotten around to buying yet. Tires are OK but should be changed in the next couple of years.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
