Supercharged Custom Chevrolet 1500 Pickup on 2040-cars

El Paso, Texas, United States

 This is a classic custom "Muscle Truck" that I custom ordered brand new in '96 with all the right options such as heavy duty cooling and engine and trans oil coolers, 3.42:1 posi differential, A/C,PL,PS,PB,tilt wheel, cruise, int. wipers, rear sliding window. It has a Vortec Supercharged 5.0 V8. It's in excellent condition and the mileage is all original and super low. It has been dropped professionally with all Bell Tech components consisting of the 2" drop springs and 2" drop spindles in front with a 6" drop and reinforced C-section in back for that classic muscle truck look and runs all Bell Tech Nitro Drop shocks. It has a hard fiberglass tonneau cover from Traders covering the bed and there is a thick rubber bed mat for protection and to make sure cargo doesn't slide around. The wheels are super rare ORIGINAL Boyd's Lotus design, I was told that these were the first set sold..can't prove that but I know they took 3 months to get them to me. These wheels are very light which is great for handling. The tires are Goodrich T/A's with 245/60-15 in front and 275/60-15 in back. I also added a rear sway bar which makes it handle more like a Firebird than a pickup. It comes with 3 pulleys and belts for the blower to vary the boost but I would recommend adding another injector and a power programming for the high boost pulley. The exhaust is an Edelbrock cat back system terminating in hidden 96 Corvette tips. I wanted a unique hood scoop different from the usual cowl induction stuff you always see in use so I incorporated a genuine Enderle funny car bug catcher into the hood and designed a throttle cable system to work with the throttle pedal action. The cable and hardware are all available and are the same parts used on funny cars so you know they are good high quality materials. The blower whine and the way the truck looks really causes heads to turn on the street! The trans has a TransGo Trans Pak in it for snappy shifts, second gear gets real nice chirps out of those T/A's. There's a pillar mounted Autometer Boost gauge to keep up on the output from the Vortec. It has a Speed Grill in anodized aluminum and a custom front bumper with KC driving lights built in with stone covers that swivel up into the bumper for a clean look. It has a Sony stereo system with a 10 disk changer behind the seat...I couldn't get it to work the other day, it's had little use, might need cleaning but the head unit is fine. The truck has new custom paint with a great silver on top that has a ton of fine metal flake in it and the bottom is a medium blue that will turn from blue to dark blue and purple as the light changes. The blue has deep fine metal flake and then a very light fine flake in the top layers which look like stars above the base flake. Then the colors are separated with a custom painted pinstripe in lime green which really sets it off. The truck took best in class first time out. I recently had the silver redone (got scratched) and more clear over both colors and it looks fantastic, even better than it did in last years show! This is a 100% non smoker truck. It's probably very safe to say this is a one off and you won't find another like it anywhere. This is a NICE super low mile one owner custom truck! If you are looking for something that will stand out and be exclusive then this is it!

Winning buyer will need to send a $1,000.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hrs via PayPal, the balance can be handled via cash, bank wire transfer or a Major bank Cashiers Check which must clear before the truck is released to any shipper or individual...no exceptions.

All bidders must have a clean Ebay history and those with little or no history will must prove ability to fund their purchase or they will be removed from bidding. Of course non payers will be reported so please don't waste my time or yours if you don't intend to buy. There is no warranty of any kind expressed or implied on this vehicle and it's being sold as is and where is and no returns accepted. I can help you find a shipper if needed.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications. Read more at Green Car Reports. LG Chem has broken ground on its EV battery plant in Nanjing, China. The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
