I am selling this vehicle for my son, so here is his description of the truck.  This truck has been my daily driver for the past 8 years now and has served me well with no major repairs that were needed, only minor maintenance and parts that would need replacing just from normal wear and tear.  This truck was an older older restoration project from about 10 years ago.  It was a body off frame restoration, cab had body work, and the paint is base coat clear coat.  6 ft. bed was a N.O.S. for a 1978, no body work, and frenched taillights in fenders.  Frame and suspention parts were painted.  Shocks and stabilizer, stainless steel brake lines and hoses, brake booster and master cylinder, gas  tank,  4X4 hubs rebuilt,  upper and lower ball joints about 3 years ago.  Tie rod and pitman arm about 3 years ago.  CCA wood planks for the bed with a rubber liner over it.  Rihno liner coated sides and inside tailgate.  windshield, carpet and bench seats were done, but as you can see  seat needs to be redone.  The driver side is torn.  Clutch plate, disc, throwout bearing and fork.  Engine is a 250 straight 6 and only the head was rebuilt.  Trans. is a 4-speed with that super low 1 st. gear.  Trans. and transfer case is in good condition.   I bought it 2 years after it was finished, but like I said it's been outside for 8 years and it's been my daily driver.  Here is a list of parts recently replaced.  Water pump, plugs, wires ,cap, rotor, brake pads and shoes, good used power steering pump, alternator, battery and front axle universal joints.  The engine does leak some oil but runs good.  The body is showing signs of  rust and some rot as shown in the pictures, but still looks real nice when pulled up next to it.  Even though it's a 6 cyl.,  with the 4X4 activated, it's an animal in the snow.  I never got stuck anywhere.  If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer the best that I can.  For more details if needed, you can call my cell at 631-708-4497.  I reserve the right to end auction early, as this truck is also  for sale locally.  Truck is sold as is, no refunds, no returns, so be sure you ask any questions you may have or if possible, look before bidding.  Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up and or shipping.  I require a non refundable deposit through paypal of $500.00 within 24 hours of auctions end.  Full payment is required within 7 days of auctions end either by cash upon picking up  truck or a wire transfer to my bank, truck to be released when funds have cleared.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
