For sale is a 1973 GMC Jimmy Sierra full convertible 4x4. I purchased this vehicle 3 years ago from the owner who did the frame-off restoration 3 years prior. The restoration has approximately 7,000 miles on it between the original owner and the miles that I have driven it. This vehicle was restored to look original without the sluggish and restricted smog compliant motors of those years. This vehicle is now smog exempt. Since I did not rebuild it myself I do not know the specifics of what went into the motor. I do know that it was completely rebuilt from the top to the bottom and equipped with upgraded intake, carb, ignition, headers, cam, exhaust, and etc. Some of this can be seen in the pictures as well as the overall condition and cleanliness under the hood. The builder said he had the engine built up to 400 horsepower. I can not verify that but this engine does have some serious "get up and go" and runs strong and smooth as it should. It is paired to the rebuilt TH-350 automatic transmission with shift kit. It always runs cool with all new hoses and cooling system. The interior is near perfect. A new Alpine receiver was installed to use with smartphone, iPod, or mp3's and its connected to new JL Audio speakers that sound great. The vehicle has an alarm system and keyless entry. Although it has factory AC it does not blow cold. All controls and heater work great but the AC needs to be charged. The AC has not worked since I have owned the vehicle but I never charged it or investigated if the system had a leak since I have always used it with the top off anyway. The needle on the gear indicator also does not work. It indicates "P" all the time. Other than the two issues mentioned, everything else is in excellent condition and functions as it should. This vehicle is a 4x4 but it has never seen dirt. It has always been garaged and only used to cruise the streets on weekends with good weather. This vehicle runs and drives as new. It holds the road extremely well and brakes true. It has plenty of power and is perfectly reliable and comfortable to drive on any trip. When I bough it, it had aftermarket wheels so I bought some factory rally's and hubs and had them painted and polished to original spec. I put new Michelin tires on them and have not driven it 500 miles since. The builder also installed an extra seat in the back you can view in the pictures. I have described the vehicle the best I can and I hope the pictures describe it well too, but for any questions serious buyers may have they can call me at 209-605-5946 and I will try to answer. All in all this is a turn key truck that's ready for a new owner to drive and enjoy.

Thanks

Nissan Leaf sales get January jump as Chevy Volt trends downward

Mon, Feb 3 2014

The cold January sales dip hit both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt last month, but when compared 2014 to 2013's first-month-of-the-year sales totals, one of the two early plug-in vehicles obviously came out on top. The top Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months. Last year, the Leaf sold just 650 units in January, but it managed to move 1,252 last month, a 92.6-percent increase over 2013 but a big drop from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. Paige Presley over at Nissan told AutoblogGreen that the Leaf has now broken sales records for 11 months straight and that, "we see unique seasonality with some December pull-ahead demand based on federal and state tax incentives." The number one Leaf market also shifted away from Atlanta for the first time in months, moving back to San Francisco. That change could be short-lived. "We had some inventory constraint issues early in the month in Atlanta with end-of-year demand depleting stock," Presley said. "By the time we resolved that, the weather hampered sales." There was not as much good news on the Chevrolet front. Last month, the Volt sold 918 units, down from 1,140 in January 2013 and 2,392 in December 2013. It also marks the first time the Volt has sold in the three-digit range since January 2012, when it sold 603 copies. That string of solid months means that the plug-in hybrid has a roughly 12,000-unit lead over the EV since the two cars brought plug-in vehicles back to the mass market all the way back in December 2010. We will have our full report of January's green car sales up soon.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum

Fri, 02 May 2014

Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
