1972 Chevy Shortbed, Fully Restored Big Block Black Over Black Beauty on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
Up for grabs is my 1972 Super Cheyenne Shortbed. Most would consider this truck to be show-quality. This truck was fully restored in 2000 and has been garaged and undercove since. Has about 2500 miles since all the work was done. Speedo was reset at that time. This was not a cosmetic makeover, but a real restoration. The truck was born with a small block but was upgraded with new BBC when restored. Motor is a 74, but was built to 400 hp and even more torque. Build sheet included from reputable builder. Over .020 bore and standard crank. Works realy well. Trans built at same time. Radiator upgraded and rebuilt last week when Brand new Vintage Air installed on truck. Old AC sold with truck if buyer desires. New Set up is fully electronic and control head is stock in appearance. In my opinion, this beats stock hands-down because it loses the old vacumn controls and stiff cables, and uses modern compressor that is much lighter in weight and more efficient. this was professionally installed at cost of more than 3K alone. The only trim that appears to not have been replaced during resto are door handles and they still look great. Paint was high dollar job that still looks great. One marble size spot on bottom door corner needs repainted. For paint to look this good almost fifteen years later is testament to quality of work. Body is arrow straight, gaps good, hood hinges, doors, etc open and close like a vault. Smelly gas tank removed from cab and blazer style tankrelocated between frame rails in rear and filler moved to left rear wheel well in truck bed. Again, done to high standard. Sending unit was tweaked a few weeks ago (removed tank to fix it) worked for a while and quit. Frustrating! All other guages working including factory tach. I consider this to be the most desireable year and the most desireable colors... Thats why I bought it! I wanted something other than ralley wheels and sourced new Wheel Vintiques OEM steelies in 8" and 10". Had them powdercoated in black and then clear. Put new wheel vintiques chevy centers and rings on them. This setup ended costing about 800 when done. Since wheels can be a personal taste choice, I will include a set of alloys in same dimensions to new buyer. Tires at 50% or better. The suspension on this truck is stock. The truck sits nice and drives nice. Front disc brakes of course. The mufflers are new as are the stainless tips at rear. Louder than a stock muffler but not flowmaster loud. The interior is near perfect, if not perfect. Dash pad was replaced as was most of the bling. Seat and carpet show no wear or damage. The starter is new, carb was kitted a few months ago. Newish battery. Glass near perfect, if not perfect. Reguators great. Bumpers rechromed and look new. I welcome/encourage personal inspection by buyer or buyer's agent. If you can afford the gas, you could fly in and drive this home. Too nice for open transport. I have the build sheet for this truck and all reciepts. Selling for considerably less than build cost. title held at my bank (USAA) Fitted Car cover included with sale. Car at my place under cover inside. Happy to store for up to a month for buyer if needed. Happy to provide photos for interested parties and to speak on the phone. Thanks

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 3 2014Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
