1991 Custom Chevy Pick Up w/ Earnhardt "Intimidator" Graphics. This is a very cool little truck that has the mean look of a pro street cruiser, with the fuel economy you'd expect from a 5 spd stick w/ overdrive and  a Vortec V6. This half ton, full size, short wheelbase truck has a bunch of custom features like a wide body /dually flare fendered box , cowl induction hood, and a rear rolled pan w/ dual exhaust cut outs. It has a lowering kit  that gives it a great stance with fat 335 /R45/15 rear rubber riding on new custom 10" wide chrome rallye wheels. It has a beautiful custom black paint job that is accented with bright orange striping and graphics. The interior has been updated with custom grey tweed upholstery including a raised Chevy logo on the headliner. The cab features a sliding rear window and the bed has a sprayed in liner. This truck was built to be a fun cruise night/ show truck and it really gets the looks. Everyone thinks it has a 454 or LS motor and they grin when they see the Vortec  6. It would be an easy swap in if someone had a spare engine and wanted to back up the look with real horsepower. Body is extremely solid and the paint is about 2 yrs. old.


Overall, it is sharp, very clean truck that has had a bunch of money invested in it. It really looks baaad and it generates thumbs up every time I drive it. It is a great toy truck that actually is pretty fuel efficient.

What does it need? The rear tires are not bald, they are expensive BF Goodrich Pro Comp Drag Radials . Great look but not very practical. So if you were going to drive it everyday, I'd put some regular treaded tires on it. There is a slight power steering leak that I haven't found  the source of....not bad, but a few drops after it sits a while. The engine idle seems a bit high and I haven't figured out why. I suspect a vacuum leak of some kind but I don't know much about these engines. So it needs some tuning attention. It drives down the road just fine without any clutch or trans issues. Although the odometer shows 107K miles, I do not know the actual mileage . The engine appears to have been rebuilt somewhere in its past as the block was painted orange.

Reserve is low ...but I am not interested in any games. Contact me if you have any questions or want additional photos...I have a bunch. You can email me through ebay or call me direct at 248-252-4223 . Truck is located in Troy, Michigan  just off of I-75. Bid only if you really want to buy and have the cash. Truck doesn't move until certified funds are in my hands. I am retired and can help arrange delivery or pick up by your carrier.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
