This truck is drop dead gorgeous. Completely restored in 2007. This truck has never been in the rain, always garaged (of course), and runs like a champ. I will do my best to describe everything so the winner knows exactly what they are buying. Once the reserve is met, high bidder owns it. If you have any questions or doubts, please ask or just do not bid. This is a beautiful preowned and 60+ year old vehicle. It is sold as is with no warranty implied.

The monster 454 that is crammed in there runs great and strong. Very easy starting and has a great low rumble through the exhaust. It is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic which has a very slow leak at the rear seal, I believe. It is slow and never bothered me because I was going to put a 4 speed auto in it anyway. Just never got around to it. The engine runs nice and cool in part by its two electric fans. The A/C runs ICE-cold and can handle this Florida heat with no problem. There have been many unique touches done to this truck which makes it look flat out cooler than any other out there. The most notable would be the flared fenders. It also has power steering and a parking brake which I've never used because it looks to me as the release mechanism has become disconnected or was never properly installed. As you can see in the photos, the firewall is nice and cleaned up in part because I removed the heater hoses. It looks better without them and I do not need them in Florida. Hook them back up if you like. The brake booster has been moved to under the driver's seat and the battery is moved under the passenger's seat. Boom. Clean firewall.

All the gauges work, but the speedometer is not accurate. All the lights work except the interior left turn blinker. The exterior lights function perfectly. But that one interior one does not. There is a master shut-off. There is an alarm in this truck that absolutely drove me nuts. I took out the blaring siren, but if you set the alarm off, the hazards still blink. It has an airbag-ride system up front so you can select your desired ride height. When you park the truck, you must have the wheels straight as they airbags are designed to leak out slowly over a couple of days. When I parked it for several days, I always put hard rubber blocks under the truck and released a lot of the air so the truck wouldn't lay on the ground and it released some of that pressure. Don't turn the wheels to sharply if you're riding low. It will rub. I usually ran it at about 80 lbs. That kept the wheels the most perpendicular to the ground. This truck has brand new tires all the way around. It has ORIGINAL Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels on this truck. You can't get them like this anymore. They were not offered in a chrome finish. The original owner had them chromed, but it is now starting to pit and flake off. I would HIGHLY recommend keeping these wheels and re-chroming them. That was my intention, anyway. The truck currently has 1 inch lowering blocks in the rear. It had 3 inch lowering blocks under there, but it rode a little rougher.

I drive this truck. About once or twice every two weeks. I drive it to work and I drive it to shows. Therefor, the paint is not perfect. There are numerous little chips and a couple of scratches. Some of the larger ones have been touched up. I think this is a testament to the reliability of how well this truck drives and performs. YOU CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE IT. By far the worst scratches are on the running boards, where apparently one of the previous owners thought it was OK to step on them getting in and out of the truck. Thankfully, I believe these running boards can be unbolted, re-shot, and bolted right back into place. That easy. Again, one of the things I planned on doing but never got around to it. Please be aware this vehicle has paint blemishes and is not perfect.

The interior is beautiful and simple. Dash is painted blue, steering wheel wrapped in blue leather, and blue leather seats. It has a radio but it not hooked up. It does have an iPod terminal which is hooked up and works great. The air bag toggles and gauges are located in the center console. None of the panels covered in black fabric are

permanently attached. This is to allow access to the airbag hoses and connectors should they ever need work. Mileage shows 8600 miles, but true milage is unknown. This vehicle does not look like it has been driven 8600 miles. There is wear on the leather that covers the seatbelt sleeve and a tear on it as well. The previous owner installed speakers in the kick panels and he ran speaker wire where the battery access panel is. Kinda the short way out, but it's OK. It's an awesome truck.

Prospective buyers are welcome to inspect it themselves or have a third party do it. But do it before you bid. Once it meets reserve, your are the happy new owner. I will do my best to make myself available for these inspections, as I am not going to leave this truck alone with anyone. And please, don't have our local Pep Boys or something do the inspection. I am not going let some 19 year take a chance with my baby. A non-refundable immediate deposit of $500.00 is required at auctions end.

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016

Wed, Jan 27 2016

If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
