If you're looking at this car, then you probably know as much as I do about it.  The car was abandoned in a storage facility, and I ended up with it.  I have a clear title in my name.  

So Here's what I do know:

Someone put a lot of money into this car.  I washed the care and dusted it, it has not been detailed.

Body:
I can find absolutely no rust on this car.  The undercarriage is very clean indicating it has not been driven in bad weather or winter since restoration.  The interior looks to be original with the exception of the gauges and shifter.  There is a small seam coming apart on driver's seat, about 2 inches long - shown in photos.  Overall, very nice condition. Carpet and mats are in very good condition. The trunk is clean, no spare.

The tires are all severely checked and all will need replacing, all hold air but leak.

It appears that something was dropped on the hood and there is paint damage, shown in photos.  Otherwise, paint is good, it isn't a super high-end paint job, but looks good and I think would look great with a professional buffing.

Glass and chrome are both very strong.

Mechanical:
I have no idea what the engine is in this thing, nor how it was built.  It is strong though!  It obviously has a cam, lumpy idle, but streetable. The NOS system has gas in it, but I haven't hit the button, so can't tell you more than that. Auto Trans, no idea what one, has a B&M shifter.

It has a full frame brace underneath and some traction bars.

The engine does seem to have oil pressure on the low side, I'm not familiar with these cars, so not sure, but it sits at about 10psi hot idle, 45psi at 3,000 rpm - it still has the oil in it that I know has been in for at least 4 years, no idea if the gauge is accurate either.  Does not smoke, starts easily and runs great, sounds good, no knocks, etc.

That is about all I know.  

I would not plan to drive this car any distance until tires are replaced and oil and other service performed.  

I do know that someone put a lot of money into this car and has taken car of it.  It will burn rubber as long as you have tire left on the rim, sounds great.

I am listing this car with no reserve because I truly don't know much about it and cannot tell you absolutely its condition.

Thanks for looking.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
