SELLER NOTES:

**Full Disclosure**

I was asked to sell this vehicle for a family member whose husband recently passed away. They asked me because I have been a collector of classic cars over the years (lucky me). I do not usually sell vehicles that I don't know the total history on, but I was asked to help. From what I was able to find out from his (the previous owner) neighbor, who apparently would come over and hang out as he (the previous owner) worked on it—I know the following about this vehicle, but cannot vouch for its condition other than what I was told.

It was explained to me that this truck was originally scheduled for a complete restoration inside and out. However, it appears that the previous owner was only able to complete the mechanical portion of the project. The truck is currently equipped with a fully rebuilt 454 big block bored 30 over and a rebuilt 400 turbo 3 speed transmission with a custom Flow Master exhaust system with H pipe (engine and transmission currently have less than 100 miles on them and are still in break-in period.)

The first stage of break-in (the first running, idle hold, and then high rpm hold) was done and the oil was then dumped and the second stage break-in oil is currently in the motor. The vehicle has not really been driven except for a couple runs around the block and was told that —he—(the previous owner) felt it had further adjustments to be made after more miles were added (usually 400-500).

The truck itself has body issues with regard to some dents and there are signs of some less than great body work as well as some rust on the front right fender. Not regular rust, but looks as it was due to a leak from the battery a long time ago (See Pic #24) I have not inspected this vehicle for rust, but I did notice some by the lower front doors (forward by the jam, but on the door not the frame). The floor pans look okay (possibly replaced), windshield will need to be replaced and the interior is not complete. Trim is rough and the front bumper is no beauty queen (I assume this would have been the next stage of the restoration.) The underside of the truck is clean and he (the previous owner) must have recently gone through it and then sealed it. (See Pics.)

Truck fires right up (See Video Link Below) and gauges and instruments seem to all work. (See List Above.) Drives fine, although I only took it for a run around the neighborhood myself. Not sure what adjustments it would require, as I am not an engine builder/ mechanic, but it seemed to run pretty good (the thing is a beast.) Brakes will need adjustment (four wheel drum.) Looks like the beginning of a good project to me, but I am more knowledgeable of classic cars than classic trucks.

I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability but each person's opinions do vary, so please ask questions. The reserve is set pretty low (well under NADA low side condition 4) and I don't know if this is the best deal in the world or the worst. I have linked below to a video of the truck starting and running. I am happy to answer any questions, but please keep in mind I do not know the full history of this vehicle and will answer what I can. I currently have the vehicle in my possession and the title is in my name now. It is clean and clear from the state of New Mexico. I'm happy to assist with shipping logistics if needed.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:

GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits

Tue, Apr 25 2023

General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,Â” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. Â“All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.Â” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion.Â GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday.Â North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million.Â The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV

Sat, May 30 2015

Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.
