1989 Chevrolet R3500 Crew Cab Pick-up Truck.  This truck is in excellent shape, with very low original miles.  The current mileage as of the listing is 51,946, but I do drive this truck ion occasion.  So the mileage may be slightly higher upon purchasing.  However, I do not drive it often.  The interior is in great shape with the original carpet, original seats, and original front floor mats.  The dash does not have any cracks and is not faded, as well as the rest of the plastic interior.  The auto trans works and shifts great.  It has a 4.10 rear end, and the tires are in great shape with less than 10,000 miles on them.  The paint is in good shape.  The gray on top areas has been repainted, but the white has not.  There are some very minor nicks in the paint on the rear fenders from road debris, but again they are minor and have touch up paint on them.  Anyone who has had a dually knows this occurs with all of them.  The paint in the bed is also scratched, but not bad at all for a 1989.  It does not have any rust anywhere that I can find.  The undercarriage looks great, the bumpers are great, the engine compartment is very clean.  The power windows all work (the front passenger seems a little slower than the rest but it works), the power locks all work, the cruise control works, and the air conditioner is very cold.  It has both wiring hook-ups for small trailers and large campers.  It runs and drives great, you could drive it anywhere.  The only reason I purchased the truck was to pull the camper, and we just recently sold the camper.  I have been contemplating keeping it, but it just doesn't make since to have a dually if you don't have anything big to pull.  The only thing that I can come up with that is wrong with it is the ash try will not stay closed on the lower portion of the dash.  I am sure it would be an easy fix with some parts from LMC Truck, but it never really bothered me.  It's where I stored my wallet, receipts, and change.  You will truly be very happy with this truck.  You can fly in and drive this one home.  I am posting a few pictures that I took yesterday but I forgot to take any of the undercarriage.  I will do so and post them later... if ebay will let me add pictures later.  Also, note that the truck is still financed with Florida Credit Union.  Their website is www.flcu.org if you are interested in looking them up.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
