Up for grabs is my 1972 Super Cheyenne Shortbed. Most would consider this truck to be show-quality. This truck was fully restored in 2000 and has been garaged and undercove since. Has about 2500 miles since all the work was done. Speedo was reset at that time. This was not a cosmetic makeover, but a real restoration. The truck was born with a small block but was upgraded with new BBC when restored. Motor is a 74, but was built to 400 hp and even more torque. Build sheet included from reputable builder. Over .020 bore and standard crank. Works realy well. Trans built at same time. Radiator upgraded and rebuilt last week when Brand new Vintage Air installed on truck. Old AC sold with truck if buyer desires. New Set up is fully electronic and control head is stock in appearance. In my opinion, this beats stock hands-down because it loses the old vacumn controls and stiff cables, and uses modern compressor that is much lighter in weight and more efficient. this was professionally installed at cost of more than 3K alone. The only trim that appears to not have been replaced during resto are door handles and they still look great. Paint was high dollar job that still looks great. One marble size spot on bottom door corner needs repainted. For paint to look this good almost fifteen years later is testament to quality of work. Body is arrow straight, gaps good, hood hinges, doors, etc open and close like a vault. Smelly gas tank removed from cab and blazer style tankrelocated between frame rails in rear and filler moved to left rear wheel well in truck bed. Again, done to high standard. Sending unit was tweaked a few weeks ago (removed tank to fix it) worked for a while and quit. Frustrating! All other guages working including factory tach. I consider this to be the most desireable year and the most desireable colors... Thats why I bought it! I wanted something other than ralley wheels and sourced new Wheel Vintiques OEM steelies in 8" and 10". Had them powdercoated in black and then clear. Put new wheel vintiques chevy centers and rings on them. This setup ended costing about 800 when done. Since wheels can be a personal taste choice, I will include a set of alloys in same dimensions to new buyer. Tires at 50% or better. The suspension on this truck is stock. The truck sits nice and drives nice. Front disc brakes of course. The mufflers are new as are the stainless tips at rear. Louder than a stock muffler but not flowmaster loud. The interior is near perfect, if not perfect. Dash pad was replaced as was most of the bling. Seat and carpet show no wear or damage. The starter is new, carb was kitted a few months ago. Newish battery. Glass near perfect, if not perfect. Reguators great. Bumpers rechromed and look new. I welcome/encourage personal inspection by buyer or buyer's agent. If you can afford the gas, you could fly in and drive this home. Too nice for open transport. I have the build sheet for this truck and all reciepts. Selling for considerably less than build cost. title held at my bank (USAA) Fitted Car cover included with sale. Car at my place under cover inside. Happy to store for up to a month for buyer if needed. Happy to provide photos for interested parties and to speak on the phone. Thanks

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled

Mon, Jan 19 2015

The 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.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
