CAR WAS RESTORED ABOUT 18 YEARS AGO AND STILL LOOKS GREAT. 7000 MILES SINCE RESTORATION IN 1995. POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND A/C. COMPRESSOR IS CURRENTLY CYCLING SO IT PROBABLY HAS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. PAINT AND BODY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE OR EVEN DOOR DINGS. A COUPLE OF MINOR SCRATCHES BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK TO FIND THEM. BODY IS SUPER STRAIGHT WITH NO RUST FORMING OR STARTING ANYWHERE. WAS A ORIGINALLY FROST GREEN TOP AND BOTTOM BUT IS PAINTED GARNET RED. INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THE CARPET HAS FADED OVER THE YEARS. COULD BE DYED BACK TO BLACK AS IT IS IN XLNT CONDITION.

EVERYBODY SAYS THEIR CAR IS A SHOW WINNER AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE LOCAL PODUNK SHOWS WHERE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP. I WONT MAKE THAT CLAIM BUT IT IS VERY NICE AND WOULD TAKE ITS CLASS AT YOUR LOCAL SHOW MOST LIKELY.

IS IT REAL? DON`T KNOW FOR SURE. IT WAS A FREMONT CA. BUILD SO NO KC "L" ON THE TAG. IT`S BADGED CORRECTLY WHICH MEANS NOTHING. IT IS A 12 BOLT AND A TURBO 400 WHICH IS CORRECT FOR SOME. 5400 YELLOW TACH. IF ITS A TRIBUTE, ITS A NICELY DONE ONE AND I DON`T KNOW THAT ANYONE CAN PROVE ITS NOT REAL. I DID ALL MY HOMEWORK PRIOR TO BUYING IT AND IT ALL POINTS TO REAL BUT IT SEEMS THERE IS NO 100% WAY TO BE SURE WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL BLOCK. THE GUY I PURCHASED IT FROM GOT IT OUT OF CA. AND IT WAS SOLD TO HIM AS A REAL SS AND HE ALSO DID HIS HOMEWORK BACK IN 1996.

ALL THIS BEING SAID, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL, STRAIGHT, EXCELLENT DRIVING AND STOPPING EL CAMINO THAT I WOULD DRIVE ANYWHERE, PLUS ITS A BIG BLOCK WITH A/C. NEEDS NOTHING.

$200 DEPOSIT DUE IMMEDIATELY VIA PAYPAL WITH THE BALANCE DUE IN 3 DAYS. CAR CAN REMAIN HERE FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT WILL BE IN MY GARAGE, NOT OUTSIDE. I WILL NOT SHIP BUT I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN. SHIPPING IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
