2007 Chevy Kodiak C4500 W/ Pickup Box. Only 26,402 Miles. Excellent Condition. on 2040-cars
Woodinville, Washington, United States
The following article from Truck Trend pretty much sums up the exactly what you are getting with this truck. Like new and in excellent condition. Very low miles, only 26,402. Email if interested. "The crew-cab C4500's base price is $34,086, but ours came equipped with the Duramax turbo-diesel and Allison transmission (and a host of other options) and lists for $48,678. The two-wheel-drive crew cab C4500 came fully decked from the GM factory, with quite a few specialty pieces from truck upfitter Monroe Truck Equipment, which works with the platforms as soon as they come off the line, installing performance, comfort, and/or style-enhancing option packages. Our truck had the pickup bed (a standard one-ton dualie bed with a few modifications) with a 30,000-pound-rated pop-up gooseneck hitch hidden underneath. In addition, the truck had the Ultra Ride air suspension, which replaces the rear leaf springs with two frame-located airbags that greatly improve the empty ride of the truck and increase overall carrying capacity. We went out of our way to hit speed bumps in parking lots as well as the larger ones communities use to slow drivers down. The bumps weren't as punishing as you'd expect, especially since the truck also was equipped with fully air-suspended seats, offering a full six inches of shock-absorbing travel. Monroe also installed a separate cab air suspension, which includes two additional airbags under the cab, along with two shock absorbers. The result is a tame ride, even when empty, over rough roads--it rode considerably better than any one-ton dualie we've ever driven, and the ride should get even better with a few thousand pounds in the bed. The heart of the Kodiak is the same Duramax 6600 and Allison six-speed transmission (with PTO) in Silverado and Sierra HD trucks, and although some versions of the Duramax can be tuned to 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, the medium-duty versions are not. Our Kodiak numbers are 300 horses and 605 pound-feet. During runs around town, we were most impressed with how smoothly the Allison shifted and ran through the gears. You'd think a powertrain designed to carry and haul in excess of 20,000 pounds would shift abruptly when empty, but that wasn't the case. The new software is better able to detect what types of loads exist and makes more seamless adjustments to the shift pattern. The gearbox holds gears longer than many of the transmissions tuned for maximum fuel economy. Inside, Monroe replaced the front seats with two air-suspended fully bolstered leather captain's chairs with a solid-oak center console. In back, the three-passenger leather bench seat is electronically controlled and reclines (and folds flat) at the touch of a button. With the seats laid flat, the rear area is converted into a bed large enough for two children to stretch out and sleep, or two adults could cozy up back there. A big-screen DVD player and a six-disc CD audio system and speaker upgrade are also available. Chevy and GMC medium-duty trucks are sold at GM Fleet and Commercial dealerships, but a truck can be built to your specifications. The Monroe facility is next door to the plant that makes medium-duty GM trucks, outside Chicago. If you need a truck ready to do hard work, there's no substitute for a workhorse like this.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled
Mon, Jan 19 2015The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
