Douglasville, Georgia, United States
TO START OUT THIS WAS A BUILD THAT WE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT COULDN'T FIND A TRUCK EXACTLY LIKE WE WANTED UNTIL WE FOUND THIS ONE (ORIGINAL PAINT AND NOT FULL OF RUST) WE STARTED WITH A TWO OWNER RUST FREE TRUCK THAT WAS OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 40 YEARS, IT CAME WITH THE PROTECT-O- PLATE, OWNERS MANUAL AND TONS OF PAPER WORK. THE TRUCK WAS TORN DOWN AND THE FRAME OFF RESTORATION WAS STARTED, FROM THE GET GO WE WANTED TO BUILD THE ULTIMATE YENKO PARTS TRUCK. A NEW STOCK 454 WAS DISGUISED TO LOOK LIKE A 427 AND THE TRANS WAS CHANGED TO A NEW TURBO 400, THE BUILD TURNED INTO A NO EXPENSE SPARED ONE OF A KIND BUILD WHERE THE ONLY ORIGINAL PARTS THAT WENT BACK WAS THE FRAME AND BODY. THE CHASSIS WAS TAKEN DOWN TO BARE METAL AND EVERYTHING WAS REPLACED, ALL SUSPENSION IS CPP, SPINDLES, SPRINGS, SHOCKS ETC. NEW COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUSHINGS, LINES, ETC, ALL BOLTS ON THE FRAME ARE NEW GRADE 8. THE BOTTOM OF THE CAB AND BED WERE BLASTED AND PAINTED A SEMI GLOSS BLACK. EVERYTHING INSIDE THE CAB HAS BEEN PAINTED THE FACTORY BLUE, EVERYTHING ELSE INSIDE IS NEW, SEAT, DOOR PANELS, CARPET, HEADLINER, RUBBER, FELT, VENTS, DASH PAD, VISORS ETC ALONG WITH TILT WHEEL. . MOVING TO THE EXTERIOR AGAIN EVERY PIECE IS NEW, TRIM, MOLDING, LIGHTS, BUMPERS, WINDSHIELD, EMBLEMS, AND THE ORIGINAL GRILL SHELL HAS BEEN CHROMED, THE ONLY BODY PANELS THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED WERE THE ROCKERS. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON UNDER THE HOOD, ALL FACTORY AIR WAS REBUILT, ALONG WITH POWER STEERING AND ANYTHING THAT YOU SEE IS NEW AND WORKS, ALL BOLTS ARE EITHER STAINLESS OR CAD PLATED EVERYWHERE. AGAIN THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE BUILD THAT WAS BUILT WITH A PURPOSE FROM THE PAINT TO THE WHEELS AND ENGINE. AND RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
