Here is one of the most popular 1972 Chevy Pickups with unheard of original paint. Not perfect but nice enough that it can be enjoyed without restoration expense or restoration headaches. Trucks like this with a little patina will draw as big of a crowd at a car show as show quality truck. Additionally this truck can be driven without reducing its value (unlike a perfect restoration truck)

MECHANICAL

400 Big Block was replaced years ago with healthy 350. Plenty of power available. 4 barrel carb + dual exhaust + GM HEI distributor. Turbo 350 transmission shifts perfectly. Transmission pan is leaking and will leave a spot on floor.

Air Conditioning system is complete but will need attention before it is usable. Compressor is not locked up but previous owner removed drive belt.

Drives straight and brakes straight.

BODY

Body is very straight and only has 2 defects. There is a dent to front edge of hood and a scrape to lower section of passenger door. A previous owner installed a tonneau cover to bed so the snaps were installed to top edge of bed. As you can see from the pictures ...... truck is almost rustfree. I have close-up pictures of rockers if you need more detail. Bed floor and tailgate are nice. Paint is still pretty solid. You can see the white 2 toned areas are showing some wear but the orange is still intact underneath. Some surface rust showing on the trim area on right bed side but a spray of wd40 from time to time should keep under control.

INTERIOR

Interior is nice and ready to be used. Seat cover, headliner, dash, door panels and carpet have all been replaced in last 5 years. Steering wheel is an aftermarket wood accented style.

SUMMARY

Overall a solid truck that would be a pleasure to own.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
