1993 Chevy Silverado LT1 Corvette 

For sale is my 1993 Silverado with an LT1 V8 from a 1996 Corvette. As the pictures will show, this is a totally custom truck with entirely too much to list on the ad, so I will touch on the highlights. For seriously interested parties, you will need to call me to get all the specifics. I have owned the truck for the past 10 years, and bought it as you see it today. I have only driven it 4,222 miles in that time, and the miles are original. It is a Louisiana truck, and was professionally built by the original owner. There is absolutely NO rust, and is a show truck, built like a street rod. This is NOT a kids truck with air bags and such, I cant stand that stuff. Here are the highlights:

Body and Paint
All stake bed holders, door handles, antenna masts, etc have been shaved. a steel roll pan has been welded in and smoothed. Professional paint and body work performed by GKT Motorsports and Restoration in Louisiana. Custom flame graphics done by KAL customs, air brushed and outlined with camel hair brush. Truly one of, I have never seen anything else like it. Truck was completely disassembled to paint. Entire frame, underside of cab, exhaust, rear brake drums, front brake calipers, coated with POR-15 (Paint over Rust), better than powder coat and will not rust. the underside of the truck is damn near as clean as the top. Wheel wells are painted yellow to match the exterior. All hood hinges, hood latch's, door strikers, and bed stabilizers have been chromed. All the glass was replaced with brand new GM glass when restored. The color matching bed cover is also one-of, and custom built out of aluminum specifically for this truck. The inside of the bed is flawless with no bondo or dents (the owner replaced the bed with a used, rust-free bed with no imperfections, took him 2 months to find). The fuel tank was removed when the truck was lowered (a-arms, springs, leafs, etc.) There is now an aluminum 15 gallon fuel cell mounted in the bed.

Boyd Coddington aluminum wheels and tires, 20" in the rear, and 17" in the front. Wrapped in Nitto 555R tires.

Interior is covered entirely in tweed, with chrome dash accents and power leather seating.


Note: Fuel gauge currently does not work.  The AC system is complete, but has never been charged since the truck was built (I never cared to run the AC).  There is a small scratch that has been touched up on the left rear wheel well, as well as a small scratch near the left rear taillight.


Please call Don @ 260-402-7477 with more questions.  Please, respect my time, serious buyers only please. NO trades, will only accept cash or wire transfer.

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing

Tue, Aug 14 2018

We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:

Chevy teases next-gen Volt at fan event in LA

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Barely two months before its planned debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet has released yet another batch of teaser images of its second-generation Volt. Unlike the first image, though, which just showed the car's rear badge, there's a lot more to this quartet of shots. The first three images show off the nose of the next-gen model and come from a fan event in Los Angeles. What we can see is a sleeker front end, with an evolution of the silver grille inserts previously seen on the original Volt and Spark EV. Gone is the current car's split upper grille, in favor of a more conventional arrangement. The sharper, more angular headlights are also an evolution of the lamps seen on the current Volt. Chevrolet also took the opportunity to announce a new location-based charging system that uses GPS to adjust the vehicle's charge settings, including the charge level, while also announcing that the next-gen car will feature more intuitive charge indicators that will be better able to inform owners of their car's charging level. The tech will mean that the Volt 'knows' when it is parked at home, and can thus automatically optimize charging for off-peak times, and so on. Take a look at the teaser images at the top of the page, and then head below for Chevy's press release announcing the new features. Next-Gen Chevy Volt Offers More User-Friendly Charging 2014-11-20 GPS makes charging more convenient Portable charger is easier to access Intuitive visual cues show charge status DETROIT – If there's one thing Chevrolet Volt owners love about their cars, it's being able to recharge the battery easily. Evidence of that is a U.S. Department of Energy study that shows more than 80 percent of all trips by Volt owners did not use the range extender. Chevrolet has made the charging system in the next-generation Volt even easier for customers to recharge the battery – and to check the charge status. The next-generation Volt debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show. "Chevrolet used the real-world experiences of today's Volt owners to make the charging process simpler and more convenient in the next-generation Volt," said Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the Volt.
