This is a 1976 Chevy Custom Deluxe, Short Wheel Base, V8 350, automatic with air conditioning. I am the second owner. I bought this from the original owner close to 3 years ago. When I bought it, it had sat for a few years. So, a lot of stuff had to be replaced. I installed new brake wheel cylinders, new brake booster, new carburetor, all new hoses and belts and radiator. All of the A/C parts where replaced. The interior is all stock except I had a new seat cover put on and original style carpet put in. It came with plain jane wheels and hub caps and I found a nice set of rally wheels and had them powdercoated and installed on the truck with new tires. The tires probably have about 5,000 miles on them. This has been a great truck that I have used weekly for the last 2 1/2 years. It has been a great truck but its time to move on to other things. If you are looking for a great unmolested original truck, this is it. One of the nicest things about this truck is that it is almost completely rust free. You can see that it has some patina surface rust and just a few bubbles of rust here and there, but it is uncommonly unrusty. If you wanted to finish restoring it, you wouldnt have to replace rocker panels and fenders like you would have to with most trucks of this year. The only things I know of that arent working are the temp gauge and the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge worked till this week!! Im pretty sure a temp sending unit would fix the temp gauge and a fuel sending unit would fix the other. Also, I had an updated steering wheel put on since the original one was cracked and gummy feeling and the guy that installed it for me got the wrong mounting kit so the steering wheel is one half a turn off. He ran out of time that day to get another one and I just never made it back to get the right adapter put on it so the new steering wheel would line up right. Thats it. The pictures speak for themselves. I just had it detailed and the original paint shows pretty good but it really needs a repaint. You can see that it has some generic trim down the side and half of it was peeling off so I just took it all off. The motor is the original motor and is untouched. It will puff a little smoke when it first starts. I would imagine the valve seals are dry. It runs great and doesnt burn any oil to speak of. Ive kept the oil changed on a regular basis. If you know about these good ol chevy 350 motors, it will probably run forever just like it is, but if you are a perfectionist, you may want to freshen the motor up. It does start and run just fine like it is and I would drive it anywhere just the way it is.

Autoblog's guilty pleasure cars
Tue, Mar 10 2015Guilty pleasures are part of life – don't even try to pretend like you don't have one (or two, or six). In the non-automotive space, this could come down to that secret playlist in your iPhone of songs you'll only listen to when you're alone; or think of that one TV show you really do love, but won't admit to your friends. I've got plenty, and so do you. Going back to cars, here's a particularly juicy one for me: several years ago, I had a mad crush on the very last iteration of the Cadillac DTS. Oh yes, the front-wheel-drive, Northstar V8-powered sofa-on-wheels that was the last remaining shred of the elderly-swooning days of Cadillac's past. Every time I had the chance to drive one, I was secretly giddy. Don't hate me, okay? These days, the DTS is gone, but I've still got a mess of other cars that hold a special place in my heart. And in the spirit of camaraderie, I've asked my other Autoblog editors to tell me some of their guilty pleasure cars, as well – Seyth Miersma, as you can see above, has a few choice emotions to share about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Read on to find out what cars make us secretly happy. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG This decadent convertible is the epitome of the guilty pleasure. It's big, powerful, fairly heavy and it's richly appointed inside and out. It's a chocolate eclair with the three-pointed star on the hood. Given my druthers, I'd take the SL65 AMG, which delivers 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. That output is borderline absurd for this laid-back convertible. I don't care. You don't need dessert. Sometimes you just crave it. The SL line is about the feel you get on the road. The roof is open. The air, sun and engine sounds all embrace you. It's the same dynamic you could have experienced in a Mercedes a century ago, yet the SL gives you the most modern of luxuries. An Airscarf feature that warms my neck and shoulders through a vent embedded in the seat? Yes, please. Sure, it's an old-guy car. Mr. Burns and Lord Grantham are probably too young and hip for an SL65. I don't care. This is my guilty pleasure. Release the hounds. – Greg Migliore Senior Editor Ford Flex I drove my first Flex in 2009 when my mother let me borrow hers for the summer while I was away at college. The incredibly spacious interior made moving twice that summer a breeze, and the 200-mile trips up north were quite comfortable.
Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line
Thu, Feb 9 2017While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.
