This is my personal driver that I have owned since 1998, built it, and started driving it in late 1999. The miles shown are what it shows today...kinda funny to me. :) I set it to zero when I completed it. I started with a very clean, rust free truck.This has been an awesome truck and I would love to keep it, but I am building it's replacement. It is for sale locally, and it may be pulled if I get the right offer. Yes, it is a factory GMC. I listed it as a Chevy because there are more lookers!I have used this in my local courier service (no employees have driven it), and I have used it to tow my car trailer to haul cars for friends, family, and me. It is set up to haul: This truck is powered by a fresh Chevrolet 396 Big Block. It has Edelbrock aluminum heads, and roller rockers. Allegedly close to 500 hp (by the motor builder), but not verified. Also fresh is the built to tow 700R4 overdrive trans, When I say fresh, I mean within the last 500 miles. In March, I noticed a lack of power off the line. Took it to my transmission guy who diagnosed a dead cylinder--burnt valve. I had this other 396 for another project, and swapped it in! Well, it turns out the planetary gear was bad in the trans, so we went through that, too. The rear end is a narrow (1957?) Ford 9-inch. It is a posi, with I believe 411 gears. I installed those about 5k ago. The rear suspension is leaf spring, with Firestone Bags that I only air up when I tow. It is equipped with a receiver hitch hidden behind an aluminum license plate holder. Trailer brake controller under the dash. Equipped with two gas tanks holding approximately 30 gallons. Hagan gas door on the drivers rear fender. The front suspension is a TCI Mustang II set-up. Power rack, front power disc brakes, of course. Everyone who rides in it is amazed at how well it rides and drives. Two year old exhaust, Flowmaster 50's. Exterior: One year only grill. Shaved door handles--poppers replaced in May. The first Muth Signal Mirrors custom built at the time. Frenched 41-48 Chevy passenger car L.E.D. tail lights. Paint: A few flaws here and there, no rust. The graphics are specific to my business. If you are in another state and want me to leave this airbrushed art, I will. I will remove it for any buyer at my expense, just ask. I will not leave the artwork intact for an Oregon buyer, however, when I sold my 29 Delivery painted similarly, I took it to the artist and just made a few changes. The custom plates do not come with the truck . . . Interior: A little wear and tear, because I use it. It is not a showcar, however, it did take a best of show in 2000. Bucket seats, console, overhead cd player, high dollar interior when it was done--not merely cheap paneling like most panels.In 2012 I replaced the aluminum 15 inch wheels and Briz aluminum bumpers. It now sports chrome bumpers and 17 front, 18 rear Foose Wheels. Tires will be brand new when you pick it up to drive it home--it will also have two full tanks of gas...

Chevy Bolt, GM's 200-mile EV, could debut in Detroit

Sat, Jan 10 2015

It's not news that General Motors is working on a $30,000 electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. Then-CEO Dan Akerson said as much back in 2013. What we've heard before is that this mystery EV will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic and will will arrive in 2017. So, if that's all correct, then it would make sense that confirmation of this plan would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, which is just around the corner. And lookee here... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that GM will unveil a concept Chevy Bolt at the Detroit show on Monday. That name sure makes sense, too, since GM registered that trademark back in August. According to the Journal, the rumored numbers – 200-mile range, $30,000 price – are still what's expected. Some new purported details are that the battery will come from LG Chem, which also makes the Volt's batteries, and that the Bolt will be a crossover that could be sold around the world. This all smacks of a preemptive strike against the Tesla Model 3, which is also due around 2017. Currently, GM sells the Spark EV in limited areas of the US, despite a lot of excitement for wider availability. To sell a 200-mile EV for $30,000 means that GM and LG Chem will likely have drastically reduced the cost of making a big plug-in vehicle battery. What this means for the new Volt and GM's future plans is something we're more than a little excited about to learn more of on Monday, the same day that we get to see the redesigned Chevy Volt for the first time. Well, aside from the CES teaser. Green Chevrolet Crossover Electric 2015 Detroit Auto Show Chevy Bolt bolt

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
