For Sale: 1967 Chevy Short Bed. This truck has had a frame off restoration started with a very high dollar air ride suspension upgrade. It has a Porterbuilt tubular Dropmember along with Porterbuilt body drop cab and bed mounts and tubular transmission mount and carrier bearing mount; all Porterbuilt. The rear suspension is KP Components from Chris Alston's Chassisworks. It has a Bolt-On Watts Link System. Has a complete stainless fastener set, bolts, nuts, and screws from cab forward including all inside of cab hardware. Also have new 82 piece LMC body to frame mounting kit; which is all bushing and bolts, nuts, and flat plates. Have new in the box Wilwood master cylinder for disc brakes; does not use a booster. Truck has 13 inch disc brakes on all four corners. Rotors and axles are drilled for car and pickup bolt pattern. Has re-upholstered seat, new dash pad, and new stainless brake lines and black rubber brake lines. Has brand new chrome tilt steering column; has a lot of parts that are already sand blasted ready for paint. Truck has a low mileage throttle body 350 that has been converted to a carbureted intake with a 700 R4 tranny. I have extra set of doors with windows in them; I have brand new wiring harness which is not pictured. This truck is a project and if you do your homework on the front suspension, rear suspension, and body drop mounts including the list of new parts that are not on truck yet, you will see there is a lot of money just in parts not including the truck itself. I am sure there is something I have left out. I reserve the right to end auction early because it is for sale or trade locally. For more information call Billy (325) 513-0492.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
