Chevrolet Other on 2040-cars
Lowell, Oregon, United States
This is my personal driver that I have owned since 1998, built it, and started driving it in late 1999. The miles shown are what it shows today...kinda funny to me. :) I set it to zero when I completed it. I started with a very clean, rust free truck.This has been an awesome truck and I would love to keep it, but I am building it's replacement. It is for sale locally, and it may be pulled if I get the right offer. Yes, it is a factory GMC. I listed it as a Chevy because there are more lookers!I have used this in my local courier service (no employees have driven it), and I have used it to tow my car trailer to haul cars for friends, family, and me. It is set up to haul: This truck is powered by a fresh Chevrolet 396 Big Block. It has Edelbrock aluminum heads, and roller rockers. Allegedly close to 500 hp (by the motor builder), but not verified. Also fresh is the built to tow 700R4 overdrive trans, When I say fresh, I mean within the last 500 miles. In March, I noticed a lack of power off the line. Took it to my transmission guy who diagnosed a dead cylinder--burnt valve. I had this other 396 for another project, and swapped it in! Well, it turns out the planetary gear was bad in the trans, so we went through that, too. The rear end is a narrow (1957?) Ford 9-inch. It is a posi, with I believe 411 gears. I installed those about 5k ago. The rear suspension is leaf spring, with Firestone Bags that I only air up when I tow. It is equipped with a receiver hitch hidden behind an aluminum license plate holder. Trailer brake controller under the dash. Equipped with two gas tanks holding approximately 30 gallons. Hagan gas door on the drivers rear fender. The front suspension is a TCI Mustang II set-up. Power rack, front power disc brakes, of course. Everyone who rides in it is amazed at how well it rides and drives. Two year old exhaust, Flowmaster 50's. Exterior: One year only grill. Shaved door handles--poppers replaced in May. The first Muth Signal Mirrors custom built at the time. Frenched 41-48 Chevy passenger car L.E.D. tail lights. Paint: A few flaws here and there, no rust. The graphics are specific to my business. If you are in another state and want me to leave this airbrushed art, I will. I will remove it for any buyer at my expense, just ask. I will not leave the artwork intact for an Oregon buyer, however, when I sold my 29 Delivery painted similarly, I took it to the artist and just made a few changes. The custom plates do not come with the truck . . . Interior: A little wear and tear, because I use it. It is not a showcar, however, it did take a best of show in 2000. Bucket seats, console, overhead cd player, high dollar interior when it was done--not merely cheap paneling like most panels.In 2012 I replaced the aluminum 15 inch wheels and Briz aluminum bumpers. It now sports chrome bumpers and 17 front, 18 rear Foose Wheels. Tires will be brand new when you pick it up to drive it home--it will also have two full tanks of gas...

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks
Fri, Aug 1 2014If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.
