1972 Chevy Short bed Cheyenne, Project.

 This truck was sold new at John Geer Chevrolet in Sacramento, CA. It has had three owners and never lived more than 50 miles from the dealership.

 Built in the Freemont Plant. I have the original Build sheet for this truck, Original owners manual, copy of old title and back reg. It has both CA Blue plates. Clear title in hand, current registration.

 This is a Cheyenne equipped Shortbed truck from the factory. Was all white with Olive interior. Upper and lower belt moldings, Air conditioning, Power Steering and power brakes. 3.73 rear end. See photos of Build Sheet.

 I believe the engine has been replaced. And it has a 700r4 Overdrive Trans in it. It runs good, has good oil pressure and shifts nicely. It is fun to drive, very tight and can go anywhere today. It does mark its spot. The exhaust is funky side piped with Kerker Mufflers, but I'll admit it does sounds great. Lights and electrical all are in working order. It really does drive nice.

 Body wise it is better than it looks in photos. very straight, good body lines and ZERO rust, EVER. It is solid!

 Yes it needs cosmetic restoration, but has potential to be one of the best if in the right hands. 

 I have the original steering wheel, AC Compressor and bracket, And original Bench seat. Also original emblems, original radio, original spare tire carrier. I put the 72 GMC tailgate on it. It is just a coincidence that it was from an all white truck. It was better than the one on it and new trim will cover it anyway.

 The truck has $3000 in new parts.

New American Racing Torque Thrust 17" Wheels
New BFG tires
New battery
New Alt
New front brakes
New CPP drop spindles
New CPP rear lowering blocks
New Brake Master and power Booster
New tail light lenses

New parts included but not installed-
New OEM grill (not aftermarket cheap one) $375
Newly plated correct original front bumper, show quality
New Marker Lights
New tail light trim

  I have over $10k into the truck but recently bought a "bucket list car" I have always wanted, a vintage Porsche.

 I can hold the truck for 30 days while transportation arrangements are made. Yes you can drive it home, anywhere. Please ask questions before bidding. Let me know if you want specific pictures of something.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
