1972 Chevrolet C-10 Short Bed Pick-up Truck

A lot of time and money went into this truck.  I had to put it together as the result of a divorce, that is the reason it's not painted completely.  The driveline and brakes is completely rebuilt for the exception of the new GM 350 High Performance Crate Engine. The Turbo-Hydromatic 350  Transmission is rebuilt also.  New BFG All-Terrain Tires, Electric Stewart Warner gauges, New interior with Electric Bucket Seats, Tilt Steering Column, Painless Wiring kit, Power Windows Power and Door Locks,  Removable Grant Steering Wheel and kill switch for security, Air Conditioning, AM/FM CD Player.  The paint is PPG DBC basecoat/ clearcoat  It's a dependable vehicle that gets a lot of compliments even with the primer.   Have all receipts for the parts purchased including the engine from GM.  The trailer can go with it if you like.  It's a 16' double axle trailer with brakes, LED Lights, Warn 3500 winch mounted on trailer and new wood 3 years ago, and a Removable Wheel on tongue jack.  I've hauled everything from a Jeep Cherokee to yard waste.  The winch is a great time saver for hauling cars or trucks that don't run.  It's a great deal for the price.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
