Up for sale is my 1952 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup, North Carolina Truck from Burlington, NC (near the center of the State of NC), super solid all the way around, with loads of patina. Door bottoms, fender bottoms, cab corners are super solid. Very well preserved over the years, no evidence of accidents or body damage, doors and hood close beautifully and evenly. Truck is very original carrying its factory 6 volt system, vacuum windshield wipers which work! and mechanical oil pressure gauge (which also works!). Bed is solid and wood is in good shape; looks like the tail gate was left open to hang upside down and water settled in the top part of the tailgate which rusted out the top ridge of the tailgate. Tailgates are readily available or this one can be fixed relatively easily. I have taken over 125 pictures and posted them to this link:

When the truck came in, it was given a thorough power wash to remove the 60+ years of grime and grease that had accumulated underneath the truck. All 4 brake drums were totally disassembled and rebuilt with new brake master cylinders, shoes, brake lines and hoses. New rear drums were also put on the truck. All of the old metal brake lines were removed and stainless steel brake lines were installed along with a new brake master cylinder and clevis and pin. New points and condenser and 6 volt battery in the truck and fresh gasoline were added. The truck runs beautifully, shifts well and starts right up with a pull of the choke and engaging the starter with you foot. It roars to life and you are ready to drive it after a short warm up. New 16 inch Firestone tires were installed on the correct 16inch wheels with new stainless steel hubcaps.  Here is a video of it going down the road:

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
