You are bidding on my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado “SS” custom with 43K miles. I purchased the truck new from the local Chevy dealer and used it as a daily driver for three years. Over the past two years I have spent~$20K on parts and labor transforming it from a V6 work truck to the 5.3L beast that you see today. I’ve upgraded or replaced the majority of parts on thetruck in an effort to build it as Chevrolet should have produced an SS Silverado.I have practically all of the receipts for purchases and documentation on the truck. This includes the original build sheet from the Fort Wayne, IN Assembly plant. In an effort to simplify things I will list the major parts that I have upgraded or replaced: As you can tell, I spared no expense in the building of this truck. Another item worth noting is that all fluids have been flushed/replaced AND the starter, radiator, and all hoses were replaced with new components 5K miles ago. In other words there is very little to worry about replacing in the next five years. In my opinion, this vehicle drives and handles better than practically any other truck on the road. I would classify it as a true "sport truck" in that it handles like a sports car, can stop better than 99% of all vehicles on the road, and has close to 400hp to get up and go. There are minor imperfections that would be associated with a vehicle that have 43K miles (i.e. rock chips and other minor imperfections) however it has always been extremely well cared for and garaged when not in use. The only remnant that reflects that this truck didn't come with the 5.3L motor is a "service 4 wheel drive" message on the driver information center when you start the vehicle. This is due to the fact that the motor came from a 4 wheel drive truck. These are truly the only areas worth noting. Feel free to ask any other questions that you may have. I've attempted to be as thorough as possible in my description of this one-of-a kind truck. You really have to drive it in order to fully appreciate all of the differences from every other Silverado on the road. I have the clear title in my possession. Thank you and good luck bidding!

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
North American Car, Truck and SUV of the Year finalists revealed
Thu, Nov 17 2022The finalists for the 2023 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards were announced Thursday at the L.A. Auto Show. — The Acura Integra, Genesis Electrified G80 and Nissan Z made the cut in the car category. — The Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Lordstown Endurance advanced in trucks. — And the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60 and Kia EV6 advanced among utilities. The winners will be announced Jan. 11 in Detroit. The finalists underscored the industryÂ’s shift to electric vehicles, as all three utilities and two of the three trucks are EVs. The finalists were culled from a list of 26 semifinalists made up of three trucks, 10 cars and 16 utility vehicles that are new this year. Notables that missed the cut include the Mercedes EQE, Subaru WRX and Toyota GR Corolla in cars; while the Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Rivian R1S were among the utes that did not advance. The three trucks are the only ones eligible this year and have advanced through the voting. 50 jurors who work for media outlets across North America vote three times over the course of the year to whittle down the field, which was originally 47 vehicles. Jurors also test the semifinalists at an October group event in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility vehicle) were the 2022 winners.

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled
Mon, Jan 19 2015The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
