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

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
