1971 Chevy C20 Custom Deluxe on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
This was an unmolested one-owner truck when I bought it last year, and then drove it from Bullhead City, AZ to Dallas, TX without any trouble. As good as it was then, the truck is better now that it has been completely disassembled and restored. Every part of this truck is either new or rebuilt to like-new condition. Every nut, bolt, bushing, washer, etc. has been replaced on this truck. This is now a "new" old truck. Chassis was completely disassembled and then media-blasted and primed and painted with PPG epoxy to GM Chassis Black specs. All new chassis and suspension parts include new shocks, new front coil springs, new rear leaf springs and bushings, new sway bar bushings, new upper/lower ball joints, new upper/lower control arm bushings, new engine mounts, new transmission mount, re-tubed and balanced drive shaft, new U-Joints and Carrier Bearing. Differential is the original Dana 60, 12-bolt rear end. Engine is a 350 GM Crate from 1993 that was completely rebuilt with new pistons/rocker arms/rods/lifters, carb/intake/electric choke, RV cam, and HEI Ignition/Distributor. OEM exhaust manifolds have been ceramic coated, with new 2 1/4" dual exhaust system and Magna-Flo mufflers. The alternator, P/S pump, water pump, fuel pump, and fan clutch are all new/rebuilt. Transmission is the original TH350 and was rebuilt for this restoration. The Power Brake booster and master cylinder are also new. Factory A/C includes new evaporator, new OEM GM/Delco compressor, all new A/C hoses, and new blower motor. The interior is all new interior including new color-matched OEM door panels with new handles, seat cover, carpet, instrument panel bezel, steering wheel, dash pad, sun visors, and rear view mirror. New door & ignition are matched to same key. Original AM Push-button radio. Windshield, rear glass, and side vent glass are new. All body parts were disassembled and individually media-blasted and primed. Body parts that were replaced include new front fenders and new door rocker panels, and only a few minor body repairs were needed for this truck. Bed is as straight as it gets. All body parts were individually painted in original OEM colors, and then reassembled. All chrome body trim is new, with new chrome bumpers and turn lenses, new tail light lenses and trim, and new body side lights. Also have the original Build Sheet, Protect-O-Plate w/New Vehicle Warranty, Service Parts ID Sheet, Original Owner's Manual, and many work receipts from the original owner, and all of the work that was done to restore this truck. This is a fresh restoration that was just finished in July 2013. It has been, and still is, kept in a garage. It drives great and has a magnificent low rumble with the new exhaust system. An eye-catching truck and great daily driver. If you are ready for a truck you can enjoy and not have to work on, then you have found it. Good luck bidding, and thank you.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout
Tue, Nov 25 2014Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
