1982 Gmc Caballero Amarillo Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 4.4l on 2040-cars
Manchester, New Hampshire, United States
|
1982 GMC Caballero, GMC's re-badge of the El Camino. I've had this since 2001, it is in running condition and has been on the road a few times this year. This is in unfinished condition, the paint is only a few years old now, it is not a professional spray. It had only been meant to keep the body from rusting while the truck was getting worked on.
The underbody was painted a year ago, as deep in every nook and cranny and frame rail as I could reach. I am selling it because I was laid off last year and no longer have the funds to continue restoring it and do not have the room to keep an unfunded project. As is, it is in driving condition with some new parts all around, like rear springs and shocks, heater-blower control switch, door-window-felts, heat-shielding/anti-vibration masking on the roof, doors and rear cab. Underbody has been cleaned and painted, body was painted to keep car from rusting (it's a preventive paint job, nothing pretty), the bed coated in bedliner. The interior has been stripped, the AC has been removed, the seats are leather buckets but not original to the car. The car will come with lots of parts both new and old including AC parts, the factory manual, assorted fasteners and spare bits, extra wire harnesses, extra gauges, new front springs, new dome light, and lots more. I did register it this year and had it inspected: It failed because of the following: - The heater/defroster blows on 1, 2, and 3 but when on the highest setting the fan stops. I already bought a new switch but it did not fix the problem. So it may be the relay or a ground wire. - The speedometer and odometer are also not working. I think it is the trans end of the speedo cable but am not sure. - The reverse lights did not correspond to the reverse selection on the column. It was just the indicator switch, I reset it and it works fine. The switch is new and slipped out of place. Given the situation I am not looking to put any more work into the vehicle, just sell it As Is. They should be quick fixes if you want to drive the vehicle asap, or easy additions to a restoration. If you have any questions please send a note. I can upload more pictures by request until the last day of the auction I think so if there's something you'd like a closer look at, let me know.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
