This is a 3 owner truck, it was on non op when I bought it and I wasn t going to register it but I had it a little longer than I had originally planned, so I am the 3rd owner (but i wouldn t consider myself one, Ive had it for 3 months). The 2nd owner bought this truck in the 90s from the old couple that had purchased it new. The 2nd owner added a few upgrades to the truck, swapped door panels, seat, added factory tach, factory tilt, 5 lug all around with disc in front. He claimed that the original bezel had 8x,xxx miles on it when he switched it out with the tach bezel. When it came time for 2nd owners son to drive he pulled the big block out of the truck and built him a 350, with that being said he wrapped up the big block and stored it away. His son wanted nothing to do with the truck. When I heard there was somebody locally that had been threatening to sell his big block truck because his son wanted something else, I made contact with him and made arrangments to see it. So I bought this truck with the 350 in it and the original big block came along with it.
We tore the 400 apart and started cleaning it and checking it out to see how it looked. The rings, bearings, crank and heads were all in good shape, the engine was very sanitary, which was fantastic. We bought new parts and started putting it back together, listed below.
The truck is in very original condition but has NO SERIOUS RUST, the rockers and corners are super solid on this truck. The body has minor dings here and there, there are no MAJOR dents anywhere, the front passenger fender is primered, rest of the paint is faded and scratched up but has that "cool original look", wood bed is shot. The seat and carpet were installed brand new by 2nd owner but dont show new due to sun fading, but in person you can tell they have barely been used. As far as weather stripping goes its in tact but old, window felt is there but old. Truck runs good, lots of power, tranny shifts great, this truck drives and rides very solid and tight (as far as steering, suspension and braking), it has some of the normal rattles due to old window felts. Headliner is in very good condition, chrome trim isnt chrome anymore due to fading (not pictured).

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
